RIV Agenda

- yeah, balloons ... lot's of em' too .... I took a picture of them and everytime I look at it I just laugh ..... I just keep wondering if the people from the hs reunion ever saw them on my doorstep ... like I said .... I'm sure glad they didn't rent a piano

Bob ... it doesn't matter to us when when we leave Las Cruces .... there should be about what 7 or 8 cars there? Maybe more ... that might be a consideration ... that, and it is always a longer lunch/gas stop than we plan .... 'up to you guys ... we're good with whatever. Probably the earlier the better .... I guess we'll probably eat breakfast before we leave too ....

Wow your going to go to bed early. Cubby keeps telling me I can sleep when I get home. Little tip MT if you plan on going to bed early don't let the rest no your hotel room number. You might find ballons in the door way when you wake up or maybe a piano. I believe Madam can verify.

YEA... Early... in the morning!

Cracker Barrel

Yes, I agree RA. Cracker Barrel between 6 and 7, gas up the night before and lay down some rubber at 7, we have a one hour change to SA and I think I know what you mean about lunch taking longer,especially looking for trinkets. If we all gas up the night before, I figure everyone will need to stretch their legs and find a sand box about 2 hours after we leave. another two hours and we all need gas and food, same in the afternoon and probably get in about 3, unload at everyones hotel, gas up, and come to the Hampton and get in line for a car wash, detailing and jump into a Margaretta or two or three at

AND with a lot of you having not seen each other for quite a while and my not having met any of you, yet... could prove to be a LATE night???? But I agree, the earlier the start, the better...

7AM works for me. That would put us on schedule to stop in Kerrville for Bubba's BBQ.

 

[standby-V]

We do love our BBQ especially in Beale St, Memphis, and lets not forget the St. Louis Ribs.

I was just checking out the agenda .... looks fun and full! I was wondering what time everyone was planning on leaving and IF we have time to get together somewhere for breakfast together ..??? We will all need one last ....

I'm sure we'll have something figured out after we've been there a few days. We always seem to get it worked out--Saying goodbyes is always the sad part of the trip.
