Marathon Jet Travel, Two friends fly for 31 Days straight with only 12 hours in a city between flights.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK, AUGUST 16 2009 — Clark Dever and Joe DiNardo have decided to take full advantage of JetBlue’s “All You Can Jet” promotion, allowing unlimited flights from September 8th through October 8th. They plan on flying continuously, from city to city, keeping their time on the ground as close to 12 hours as possible.

The difference with their trip and that of everyday travelers and road-trippers? The pair plans to document their entire journey using a blog and social media. Dever, also a professional photographer, will be capturing and publishing photos of the trip as it progresses. They also plan to conduct interviews with passengers and citizens, creating a broad glimpse of America as they travel. These interviews and montages of the country will be uploaded to the blog on a daily basis, giving fans the opportunity to follow Joe & Clark’s adventures as they happen. While on the ground Joe & Clark will visit as many local attractions as possible to capture the culture of the individual cities; from local architecture and landmarks, to music, and nightlife.
Social media will play a big role in this journey the two plan on using the popular websites Twitter (twitter.com) and Facebook (facebook.com) to interact with their followers throughout the trip.
“I was talking with Joe about a trip I was planning at the time and he said ‘Did you hear about the JetBlue Promotion?’after he quickly explained it; we decided that we had to rise to the challenge, to see and document as much of the US as possible, in a single month.” said Dever
“Clark and I have always had the kind of friendship where we peer-pressure each other to do outlandish things, we’ve always competed to have the best stories at the end of the night. I see this as just a natural progression from our usual antics. I really don’t know what will happen, but we both agree that whatever it is, it will be entertaining – definitely worth watching.” mused DiNardo
“I think the greatest part about this adventure is that everyone can be a part of it. We have a wiki, where viewers in each city can tell us where to go and eat, what’s the must-see attraction, what events are happening while we’re in town, etc. Never has a trip of this magnitude been planned with the help of so many people, we look forward to interacting with our viewers through the blog and twitter. I think it will spur very interesting conversation.” related Dever
Flight itineraries are being planned now and updates can be found at the official website for the project (12hoursinacity.com). Sponsorship opportunities are available.
Joe and Clark are two regular guys with an appetite for adventure, who quest for the unusual and the unexpected.
Please contact Joe DiNardo with any questions

i was so thinking of doing this.

HUGE :TUP:

[greenbull]

Awesome. Glad to see they are documenting it.

This would have been perfect if i had jumped on the 4 10 hour work days at work…go to different places each weekend.

[Clean_Baldy]

Awesome! Sounds like quite an adventure :tup:

If you are still on here Joe, have fun.

[cougarspeed]

Hey Viper let them know I can take them around Seattle if they want. What types of things are they looking to do? I know the BEST steak/scotch place and a few amazing sights.

[Clean_Baldy]

If they go to San Francisco they should get onto the BART at the San Francisco Airport and take it to Powell Street. There, the entrance to Westfield mall (8 stories tall) is in the BART terminal. They can go up one flight of escalators to get to Market Street. Right outside is a round about for the street cars which will take them 40 minutes through San Francisco up to the northern part of San Francisco. It costs $3 when you board, payable to the system or to the trolley car operator. ($3 I think… but not much more) There, they can take pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge and walk down South-East along the piers until they get to Pier 39 (tourist pier.) Walking through Pier 39, they can pick one of many restaraunts to eat at on the Pier. If they walk to the end, they can see Sea Lions laying out as well as Alcatraz directly out across the water. After finishing with pier 39, continue walking south and you’ll end up back at Market Street by the BART.

That is how you view all of San Francisco in less than 6 hours. The Westfield mall took us two days to shop, going in pretty much every store. If you want, use the computerized touch screens to find your way around. I wish I video taped myself using it, just to have that. If nothing else, go to the top and take a picture

San Francisco. :tup:

[misteroman]

Viper’s cousin’s cartoon is worse. Dude looks like a terrorist. Just needs an “Allah Akbar!” caption bubble. :lol:

[Fry]

Awesome. I’m jealous.

[Geoff]

lol, my friend’s take on the idea:

“hey i visited 14 cities in 12 days. i spent 75% of the time traveling, 20% of the time catching up on sleep that i couldnt get on the plane. the other hour or two a day was a fucking blast though”
“did you see anything in the cities?”
“yeah, the airports were awesome”

[Fry]

Yeah, I don’t know about the whole “12 hours on the ground” thing, but flying around the country for a month is cool.

[Smaefer]

This should be intresting.

[Vrooom]

ugh. so jealous.

Yeah, I don’t know about the whole “12 hours on the ground” thing, but flying around the country for a month is cool.
