Travelling long distance?
-
Not as long as Dale's drive but I have to go across Nebraska. The long way!
Leaving this evening about 5:00 pm after a full day of work. Hoping to make Omaha before quitting for the night. My wife and son are coming, too and we're going to spend a few days with some of her distant relatives. She'll dump me at the hotel around 2:00pm on Tuesday.

To all that are travelling this weekend, be safe, and see ya in da pub on Tuesday.

Wow. I gotta hand it to you guys. That's a heckuva long way to come. I can just imagine the cost in time and money. I hope for your sakes that the conference will be worth it. I mean. .. what if you get all the way over here and it stinks? I don't think it will but . . .Man oh man!
Its like that last scene in Butch and Sundance. . . allow me to re-create it for you here. . .I got nothin' else going on. . .BUTCH: Australia. . .I figured you secretly wanted to know so I told ya.
SUNDANCE: that's your big idea?
BUTCH: The Latest in a long line. . . .
SUNDANCE: Australia's no better than here!
BUTCH: oh. . that's all you know.More discussion
SUNDANCE: Its long ways off tho' isn't it?
BUTCH: Oh everything's gotta be perfect with you!
SUNDANCE: I just don't want to get all the way down there and find out it stinks. .. .that's all.
Yup. .. it's a good thing I am only comin' over from Salt Lake. . . .
-
David, trust me there is no way it can stink, as the whole point of BC is meeting everyone and networking, everything else can be a distraction some times. That's probably why it is UN-conference as a rigid schedule like last time can get boring really quick.
Then there is the evenings (say no more) -
very true Pete. ..
But admit it. . .you liked the movie reference right?
-
Pete, I will have to try and meet Tom and his Desk.
Tom, if you're reading this welcome to Manhappiness!

I've the same trip as Rich, actually we will be traveling together so it should shorten the trip.
-
Well my 10,200 mile trip starts in 11 hours see you on the other side people!

And mine in 4 hours.
I guess it's time to find my passport and some clean socks. Maybe underwear, too.
Also it's raining here but at least the shuttle minibus comes to my place! -
12hrs to check-in then nearly fifteen hours of travel before arriving in Denver. But I had best going away present, my 14 month old son took his first steps today! I was dreading it happening while away so now I'm chuffed to bits!
Safe journey to all and see you there.

Pete, No my wife is coming along, and since we have four days to get there, we only have to make about 400 miles a day. Were going to poke along. If anybody has any suggestions of things to take in along our route please let me know.
If you go South out of Yellowstone should get a great view of Grand Teton NP. Of course its great to go to if you have time, but you looks like you have a lot of driving to do.
By the way, for anyone with extra time in Boulder, and a car you are are only an hour from Rocky Mountain National Park. but if you go on Labor day weekend, I would go early, could be big crowds at entry and parking if you don't arrive early. If you don't go there, plenty of good hiking and scenery elsewhere in the area.
By they way, I may be have shortest travel time. About 4 miles (15 minutes by bike).
