dcistas! as maria pointed out, Suzi leaves on Saturday, so we'd have to do old people dinner at 4ish (if we pick Saturday, which may affect some people's availability)
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Saturday is not good for us, but since we're practically walking distance, maybe we can arrange something separate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My schedule is very up in the air right now, so I can't make definite plans for July yet, but I'd love for us to get together while vw is here.

I meant to post this once I had figured it out. Here's the mileage I put up this year when I went to the F2F (I visited a lot of friends along the way, so it wasn't my ONLY desination, just the final one):
Trip down: 1170 miles
Trip back: 1445 miles (different route and a detour from Baltimore to middle PA)
Grand total: 2615 miles

Damn, Frank, that's some serious driving. But a lot of fun, too!

The trip down was over the course of a week. The trip back was over two days. I was a leetle FRIED by the end of that second day, but not nearly as badly as I dreaded.
Plus I learned to hate the drivers from oh so many new and exciting states! I have to say I don't feel too bad about MA drivers anymore.

My loathing of today's semi drivers was fanned to nova heat by the trip down between Memphis and Birmingham. Though driving in Georgia and Florida wasn't bad except for the distances involved ( I totalled out only about 500 miles less than Frank; I'd expected his drive to be MUCH longer).

Fred Pete and other DC-istas. My evenings should be fairly free and easy...just hit my cell phone or e-mail me and we can make plans.
I'm starting to get bouncy - almost done with work for the day...just leaving notes EVERYWHERE for folks to do things while I'm gone.

Emails say that Friday is good, although some people have issues? or is tuesday better? a lot of people didn't weigh in on Tuesday.
