GLCraig Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Just Bought The Plane Tickets!!!!!!!!!!:banana: No backing out now!!! So as long as there arent any real delays.. I should be in Seattle around 11:30 am West Coast time ( 2:30 pm East Coast normal time ) I also went for a window seat on all flights. Have one lay-over on the way there and 2 on the way back I hope none of your lay-overs are along the Gulf coast because that's just about the start of the thunderstorm season which can cause some nasty delays. Last year I flew to Orlando and the day I flew back the airport in Huston was shut down in the morning. My flight from Orlando to Huston was delayed by 2 hours, then my flight from Huston to Portland was delayed 6 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edrach Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The layovers are in Detroit on the way out ..and montana and minneapolis on the way backThat should be safe. Wise to take the northern route in April. We got delayed by thunderstorms in Dallas on our way out to Bolivia. Luckily my smarter half worked a 4 hour layover into all our stops. Saved our bacon.

Scott in Bellingham Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think I will leave that up to her. If she wants to see some people I can set stuff up. But she may be busy working on her car. And making me dinner Oh, and she will probably want to see some of the area a little also. Maybe make a run to EC We can turn that into a M/G. sat the 12th just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for the stories from the M&G:popcorn: I plan on taking lots of pics...and just today I bought a laptop ( Tommy is working his magic with it right now) to take along.. Word of advice..start pricing the plane fair early..I mean real early..I watched mine go up on almost a daily basis. and shop around..at first Priceline was the cheapest..then when I had the money and was ready to by Orbits was the cheapest and had a pretty accommodation schedule. I want to start packing and stuff now..but 42 days..I hope it comes fast..can't wait to see my Pimp Daddy:-p :lol: ( inside joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 just curious as to how much it costs to ship a car across the country. Would maybe be cheeper to do it yourself but i doubt it. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 $795 to CT from WA. It would probably cost more in gas one way to do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I see I've missed a lot, congrats on finding the wc car you've wanted Connie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yup...$795 shipped...top load through DAS....definately worth it knowing it will be safe from deer etc.And with gas prices..couldnt get it here cheaper.

You know Psyko is a stubborn poopiehead at times :lol:..It took me 2 days of hounding him on the phone all night at work..and giving him such a fitting new nickname to get him to call you. Anyway..you are the planning committee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyko Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I really don't want my car eating up all the time while Connie is around either. (One of the reasons I was being a "stubborn poopiehead." ) I'm more than happy to bring it by beforehand. This week obviously won't work because of my Texas trip, but next Thursday (27th) I'm up for it. I sent you a PM regarding it as well...
