Hey Breezy. I get 1300 miles driving for you which shouldn't be more than 2 days driving. When I've done a cross country drive of 2600 miles, I have had 4 days driving and 3 nights. You aren't letting the travel gnome drive are you?

Too true........................;)

I'll see if I can't do something about that this year. I'm getting tierd of being the comedic end to all of Rips videos, but something tells me some habits are hard to break.

Beamer Bob,....... No Kens not driving, but everytime I've come down for one kiting event or another I've had to factor in a couple hundred bucks extra to pay for speeding tickets, so this time I'm setting the cruise control, cranking the tunes and relaxing. Looking forward to everything. The morning buggy circle bull #@%$#! setions and the nuclear winds. :wee:

I'm thinking leave early and spend the night in Boise, ID. Home run to Primm the next day. Never more than 10 over the speed limit and they should leave you alone. 3 cross country trips and not even a pull over. I got a cop in Nebraska that drove beside me for 3 miles with his spotlight on my buggy in the rack on the back. I started to just pull over to tell him what it was, but my bed and shower were in Lincoln 2 hours away and I wanted to be there. I found that 900 miles in a day was my limit but I liked 700 or less much better.

I agree that the facetime with you guys is more than half the allure of nabx.

So true, so true.

Arie time is up when the wind calls (4am), there is a reason why he sleeps next to the window.

Sleeping is on Ozzy and Ruudje time (2am)

And you thought you were on vacation. You need one after naBx
