Another December road trip

hobbit · 11-08-2006, 12:40 PM

At some point around mid-December I'm going to be doing the big ol'
Boston --> FLA haul for holiday visitation, and then back again
sometime around the timeframe of new years. Are there any proposed
or already-scheduled gatherings I might be able to pop in on if I
do my planning right? Or is anyone up for small car-geeking dinner
get-togethers or the like? I'm willing to deviate a reasonable
distance from the otherwise straight-shot route if good opportunties
present themselves. [*Note: the "straight shot" probably does NOT
include I-95 between Boston and the DC area; it's much nicer and
cheaper to loop slightly farther around thru the hills of PA!]
.
This also implies that I'll be in the gulf-coast area for a couple
of weeks...

Start a bit sooner and you can arrive in time for the (scheduled) space shuttle night launch 7 December. My sister and I are planning to attend that, and perhaps after to swing by Huntsville to see what Bob Wilson is up to with his classic Prius. As you might imagine, that latter part was not her idea...

You will be passing within 50 miles of me if you are planning on taking I-95. Emporia, VA is an hour's drive away for me. Look for it by the VA/NC border. I'll treat you to a blizzard at the dairy queen.

There are a few of us down in Richmond. I know I wouldn't mind a Prius Pride Photo Op.

Let me know if you have it near a major airport and on a weekend. I would love to see what all Hobbit has done with his car.
