Trip Route 2019 Official

[Nick]

where we all going to meet on the first day? Breakfast anyone?   Sissiton, SD or Watertown, SD or somewhere else? Black Hills?!

[Nathan]

Nickoli,

We can do whatever route you would like to Rapid City.  Were you thinking Rosalie's Bakery in Sisseton, SD, again?! I do not think we will wait until the Black Hills for our first meet-up or breakfast!!

Here is a preliminary route for you to modify...

Oh boy, Rosalies!  I say we skip the flat tires and indulge on pastries instead.  Anyone else up for some pastries?!?!

I replicated your route on myrouteapp Nathan.  Can you see it?

[Nathan]

I would like to partake in pastries!

Yes, I can see your route via the app.

[Russ]

Cool!  We won't have as many routes to make this year.  Since I have the addresses for the rest of the destinations I'll get the start and end points entered in on myrouteapp and we can tweak from there.

[Nathan]

Sounds good.  Thanks buddy!

Unfortunately the COG train to the top of Pikes Peak is closed and they are trying to rebuild it and bring it back...but not until 2021!

[Nick]

So many things to do!!  Maybe stay another week??

[Russ]

Gentlemen;

For the first part of the trip's accommodations, in Rapid City, the total fee for that stay (June 7th-10th) is $947.53.  I believe I heard everyone will be a part of that trip, so $947.53 / 4 = $236.88 per person or $78.96 / person per night.

I am not looking for this immediately but I thought I would get it out there for everyone's perusal and so I didn't forget.

Russ: Once you figure out your totals, and after subtracting the above amount, I believe I should owe you and you would not need to pay me anything...

Later,

Nate Dogg

And for the remainder of the trip:

Fairplay CO - $902.85
Harrison NE - $150.16
Mitchell SD - $283.28
Total - $1336.29
Total divided by 3 - $445.43

Nicks total - $445.43
Nathans total - $366.47 ($445.43 - $78.96)

And the same deal as with Nathan, I don't need to get paid immediately.  Everything is paid in full, so whenever it works for you two is fine.

Later...

Russ

[Nathan]

Russ,

I believe you may want to re-check your math, as you only subtracted the price per day ($78.96) not the full amount per person ($236.88) from my bill.  Unless I missed something and you are not staying with us the full time in Rapid City?!

I will wire you this amount, $208.55 via PayPal.  ($445.43 - $236.88 = $208.55)

Please let me know if I missed something or am somehow confused in my old age! I know, I know, I am technically a year older than you at this time!

Nate Dogg

[Russ]

You may be older, but you are still sharper than me!   

Yes, you are correct.  I will be with you the full time in Rapid City and yes, I did only subtract one night. 

I like my initial total better, but yours is more accurate:  $445.43 - $236.88 = $208.55

You and I should be square at this point.  Thank you Sir!

[Nathan]

Russell,

I can pay you the initial amount if you want me to, and it makes you feel better! I would just chalk it up as travel agent fees.

Just let me know.

You are welcome, Sir!

The Dogg

watch your language, a lot of "sirs" being said!!
