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.

The layovers are in Detroit on the way out ..and montana and minneapolis on the way back

That 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.

well if yall have a BBQ i might have to come and meet some of you guys didnt really geta chance at the subaru show (turbo wagon blew up and i missed half the show) i think it would be fun.

I dont know whats going on BBQ or whatever Rob wants...he is in charge..I just want to get out there and see my coupe..I am really in the need for some car working on therapy..too cold here ( Its 11 degrees right now.)

 

So for now I am in this mode:

Everything is coming together nicely now ....

Plane ticket..check

Vacation sceduled at work...check

Booked the Auto Shipper....check :banana::banana: Got it through DAS top load..for $795!!! Have to drop my sweet baby Lil Blue at the terminal on April 12th...estimated time of arrival is April 26th...I am going to be a worry wort until it gets here

 

43 more days!!!!!!

I can only imagine how totally stoked you have to be.

Jess and I are planning to go to WCSS this fall... and we're stoked NOW!

 

Enjoy. :cool:

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

Hey Connie,

I am so excited for you. Wow Seattle! I can't wait to go too. Maybe I could sneak in your luggage:rolleyes: Just remember to bring back the warmer weather for us. 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)

Don't you mean bling bling pimp daddy? lol

You must post of your daily adventures in Westland:grin:

I just checked the count down meter I have on my myspace page..OMG!! 39 days :popcorn: think that sums it up

spark

sparky's "Dead Head' tour's '08

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

$795 to CT from WA.

It would probably cost more in gas one way to do it yourself.

I see I've missed a lot, congrats on finding the wc car you've wanted Connie.

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.

 

Yup Shannon you missed alot..but alot have missed you.

 

1 Month away...Next month at this time I will be in the air on my way to the west coast. I have the little blue one entered at Carlisle 2 weeks after its due here:eek: I hope he is ready

25 more days!!!!:banana:

 

I dont know if Turbone has/is arranging any kind of MnG but I do know some plans changed..Looks like we will be doing a head gasket replacement on Psykos XT-T

 

Anyway.. 25 more days till West Coast time

I really dont want to spend the whole time working on cars when your here. We have yours to work on when your here, I hop to have the XT done before you get here......maybe. If I can get him to bring it here, soon.

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

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...
