The miles covered while on a ferry don't count Dave! I may take a detour on the way down just to register more miles than you! Lol

If you rented the cayman at black and white, last year a couple of days before we were leaving they took it away and put it on a long term lease. This is why I had the boxster last year. This year they indicated because they only had one they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again. Did you speak to the office manager?

Do you think if I make it a Valentine's Day present it will be something like Homer Simpson giving Marge a bowling ball with his name engraved in it?


Is that something similar to Lisa giving Bart " something " , as depicted here ( or, at least as interpreted by many..) in the London Olympics promos ?

@Rap, DOH! I don't know if she was the office manager or not, but she certainly made no representations about lack of availability,... but I haven't paid anything yet either... I'll be torqued if that happens.

The good news is they say they have about 20 boxsters. Although some of our west coast brethren would have preferred a 968 only event, they were kind enough to let a east coast usurper in with a white boxster. For which we were and are eternally grateful! Let me know your plans and we can see if hooking up out there is possible. DS wants to know how you swung the deal?

And now in tunnel vision ! Great spot for dinner ( well, except if you're claustrophobic ) Looking forward to this. Still can't believe you managed to pull off all of the activities, food, wine tasting, etc , etc for " a buck " a person.. Remarkable.

funny - as much as i love spurs bbq, the dinner on saturday is bbq, and i think i need to do something else on friday.

as for breakfast, nope - not in the plan. i may do it sunday, but i'm not sure. it depends on what i think of the breakfast on saturday. i do love the bacon at hoovers.

RAP started this, but given the attributes of the wait staff there and while speaking of bacon, " Hoofers " might be a more appropriate name than Hoovers .. Awww, no I just did not say that, now I can never set foot in that place again ..:-) :-)

Well these fabulous examples of womanhood also could be called hooters. Their belt buckles were almost as large. No bacon for you
