Hi guys, I was invited to the hub tour. They sent a second email specifically stating that very specifically so it was not ambiguous. This was in addition to the general invite which includes hub tour directions in the packet even if you weren't invited. It is the same packet for everyone.

The hub tour starts pretty late and the job expo is early the next day. Is this just a taste of what a new hire should expect?? Lol

Where is everyone staying?
Anyone flying out from PHL tomorrow? Three directs, wondering how bad it's going to be getting into MEM.
Anyone grabbing a beverage in the airport hotel area?

Flying out tomorrow morning from PHL on FedEx. Have to get up early but I figure I might as well get the most out of it. (I'm not a commuter so never commuted on FedEx before). I will have to find somewhere to hang out until hotel check-in in the afternoon. I'm staying at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Olive Branch.

Pick up a six pack at Walgreens and hang out in the Fairfield common area. It is what the numerous out of town softball teams and flight safety trainees do at the Fairfield.

Rent a car and drive to Mason, TN. Have lunch at Bozo's Hot Pit Bar-B-Q.






It's this place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaZ4IHTE4jo

They didn't have to change a thing to shoot the movie, but they added this to the wall afterwards:



Best Q in the world.


On your way back to Memphis, pick up some chicken to go from Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken original location, also located in Mason.





You're welcome. (4 images would be too much for an APC post, so imagine a little smiley face here.)

How do you guys plan on getting to the Expo in the morning? I planned on taking an Uber from my hotel, but the packet says shuttles will be running from the terminal to FedEx starting at 0630.

Man, I am always up for good BBQ. I will check it out. And thanks for the suggestions. A 6 pack in the commons area would probably be cheaper.

I am staying the Fairfield Inn in Southhaven... I think their shuttle will go directly there. If not, I plan on taking the hotel shuttle to the airport, and then taking said FedEx shuttle.

Regarding getting to the expo, I think my hotel said they would drop off at FedEx. If I can't sweet talk them into it, I will probably just leave earlier for the airport and take the shuttle. Unless I get scared of overcrowding, then Uber or taxi as last resort.
