I'm also leaving at 6:30 a.m., so I'm getting to the airport at ±4:00 a.m. so I can have ample time to get through security. I have an hour layover in Philly, so cross your fingers THEY don't hold me up. Hopefully since I'll have my boarding pass (where I actually got on the plane from IAH) it won't be a big deal.
And, really, who knows ... it may or may not set off anything, anywhere. I'm just preparing for the worst, hoping for the best (as usual).
I have no problems squatting, and I never fly in anything but flip-flops, so that part will be fine. The last thing you need when you're having to go through proving your laptop is *really* a laptop is trying to hop around and tie shoes ;-).
I may get one of our group going to the rally in an RV to pick up an egg crate. We're pulling a trailer on the bike, but it'll be packed full of my luggage/camping gear. I actually am going to probably blow mine up and sleep on it this weekend for a test drive so I know *exactly* what I'm in for - LOL.
The bike ride from Boston is about 3 hours, but I'm not all that worried about it. It's a full dresser Harley, so the back seat is pretty much like a road couch - heh. Arm rests and everything. I refer to it as the "Princess Seat", and have a strange urge to do parade queen waves every time I ride on the bike ...
And, yes, Sally ... it's really pretty up there! Coming from Boston, we go through a short portion of the Berkshires, and then the closest big town to the rally is Schenectady (the rally is actually in Pattersonville - around Mariaville Lake ... i.e., in the boonies!).
Anyway, I'm excited ... headed out next Wednesday, and looking forward to meeting a few Bostonians from here early the next week after we get back from NY!
And, MaryLou, I have NO doubt you guys will ~somehow~ manage to stay entertained in my absence, but thanks - LOL ...
Regards,
Pam
