Some are up at 5am and some are up later.
Some want to get the day underway and others would like to sleep in.
It's your weekend so enjoy it as you wish.

That sounds like old people talk. The days are wasting, get outta bed with the youngsters.
Besides, we need to get the damm photo stuff out of the way so we can drive.

Gary, Sandman50 and I are going to be joining up with the group at the Hotel Friday morning too.
We'll try our best to be there before 8:00 AM.
That is if Cincy traffic doesn't throw us a curve.

We ended up getting out of town later than we thought. We were stuck at BestBuy but the good news is the car now has 4G WiFi so we're able to keep up to date on the forum as we're cruisin down the highway. We are getting close to Texarkana. The radar detector is working great. Safe travels everyone.

This sound like so much fun. If I was in the states I would definitely try to attend. Have fun, drive safe and post a lot of photos for us not attending

I'll bring it with me tomorrow.

Well, two days of travel done and no issues whatsoever. We made it to Topeka on Tuesday evening. My uncle likes to cruise on the this one street on the west side of Topeka. Had fun with the traction control turned off. We made it to Mt Vernon, IL yesterday. Franc & Cathy will be joining us today here in a few hours. We'll pick up Jane and be on our way.
