Hey Craig, who's going with you this year?

with me in my car? My 14 year old has said he is going this year... my wife of course and Bruno is coming from Belgium. Well maybe not Bruno but he is welcome and he could probably ride in a different Mustang each day!
And your coming too with your car right?

No, I will be driving a uhaul. lol

I sure I hope I will be there. Not sure If my wife is coming or not. Might be on my own.
She was ok with going last year because we were only doing about 3 or 4 days of it. If I want to do the long haul I would have to keep the top up for her.

Well John and Lori are doing the tail end, Rick said he might show up at the end as well and maybe Kat too. LarryG is thinking really hard about the long haul but I'm sure he will do at least some of it.

Hi Craig, Have you made any more hotel reservations? I've been reading that a couple of the cities are all booked up. I'm being one of those procrastinators, I haven't made any.

Thanks for reposting Craig, not sure where I've been but I missed the first post on your hotel list. I'll also have a front seat open.

tarafied1 · « **Reply #82 on:** January, 23, 2012, 06:08:48 AM »

that's okay, I edited it and added the dates.
I can hardly wait!!!

Hotels are now booked. The hotels in the area are getting full, if you have not booked, you better do so soon.

We are leaving Allen, Texas 6/5 and driving up to Miami, OK

Staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Vinta for 2 nights 6/5 and 6/6. Vinta, OK is about 20 miles from Miami.

Staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Perry, OK on 6/7

Looking forward to seeing y'all.

I need to get going on hotels if I'm going to make it.

I just don't know what to do.

Just finished making the final reservation for the PT. This being my first, I wasn't sure on the hotel/area but I think everything will be good. Miami,OK. was the problem as all the hotels are booked. The choices where Joplin,MO. 20 miles east (back track) or some miles closer to the next stop, I choose, closer to the next stop. As of today I'm still doing this solo, so I'm looking forward to meeting and cruising with you. Now getting the winter projects on the car finished.

What city did you book near Miami? I had to book in Vinta, OK. I also chose to be closer to the next stop.

I booked the Stonebrook Inn in Grove, they listed it at 17 miles from Miami, it may be a few miles closer than Vinta. It's also off the Interstate so maybe I can pickup the tour as it passes by.

I wish it was that simple. All the stars are going to need to be aligned for me this year.
Of course the biggest is actually getting the car done. Otherwise none of the other crap matters.

I have a blue Mustang convertible you can borrow (it's a 93 with a 4 banger but...)

It may come down to that.
At this point I am about to pay someone to finish my car since I just don't have the time.

Larry G · « **Reply #94 on:** January, 25, 2012, 08:06:29 PM »

I think your good for all the stops except Miami, OK. You'll have to decide if you want to stay in Joplin, they have more hotels than Miami, or find something past Miami. There aren't many hotels past Miami that are within 20 miles. Good Luck.
