It's time to start thinking about this, I'm thinking of stopping in NC for a day or 2. My brother lives exactly at the midway point from my house to the Seralogo Hotel.

So me and the kids wont be in any convoy, but it's time for you boys to start planning. Juss sayin... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I been thinkin' 'bout this since March when I booked the rooms. I am gonna pass on the convoy down and take the Auto Train. Have always wanted to do the train thing and this is a perfect opportunity. Will depart 4 PM on the 7th and arrive at Sanford, FL about 8:30 AM on 8 November. Just a short trip to the Seralago from there. :D Will be driving home on the 16th via Fort Benning, GA and a stopover to visit the "kids".

Gordon and I will be driving down to FL. We will be stopping for the night in Richmond Hill, GA, just south of Savanah. We plan to stay at the Hampton Inn.

That's the one we try to make it to first day on the way down to the home.

Why there? Any particular reason ? Just curious in case my North Carolina family thingie is a no-go.

We can make Richmond Hill comfortably in one day and the Holiday Inn is nice. And then make it down into Florida the next day with no problem. I was also stationed at Ft. Stewart so it brings back memories.

ohhh i see, i see.. wasnt sure if there was some outlets or something cool nearby. For me that would be 11 hours to that point. I dont think i'll trek that far in 1 day. One of the Carolinas will do.

It is just south of Savanah, which is just over the GA./SC. border.

on coming back to this thread, I cant help but notice that Chris said "Hampton Inn" and you, Gordo, have said "Holiday Inn." Juss sayin :rolleyes: :D Either way.... what day are you 2 hitting the road?

My kidlings are off from school on the 6th and 7th, so I'll probably get an early start on the trip. Make the most of it.

That is because she makes me stay in a different hotel. I believe we are leaving MD on Wednesday and arrive at the hotel in Florida on Thursday.

There will be several Carolina Marauder Members leaving central NC meeting up with some upstate SC members at the I-26/I-95 intersection and then on down I-95. We could meet up with you folks down in GA. ---let us know the exit # as we get closer in time---Believe most will be leaving on Wed taking the whole day to drive down ---we can take our time this way.....Tom

Tom, I thought this was the plan when this same topic was brought up a months ago. Those of us leaving from the Capital Area would be glad to hook up with the Carolina Marauders on Thursday morning.

Registration is Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. On Thursday, Old Town cruise during the day and dinner that night.

I'm going to suggest Reinhart Automotive in Orange Park, just south of JAX as a way-station for North meeting West and then a convoy from there down to Orlando, depending on what day folks arrive in FL. As people make their plans, this stop can be refined for date and time.

There's nothing more awesome than dozens of Marauders moving down the highway in step!! My first brief convoy of that magnitude happened for MV1.

As you have said --you may want to be leave earlier---I believe originally we were thinking of all meeting along the way on Thursday as you said----but alot of folks are going down earlier--so it appears that Wednesday seems to be the most likely day when more will be meeting up---I better re-check my resv. as well to make sure I'm covered as well....but Wed seems to be the biggest day I think for hooking up --

As for meeting at Dennis's as Mary has suggested--That's ok with me and am sure the others don't mind either---Need to get Dennis' input on this though---his place can only take so many cars with those that will likely be there for work too--his turn-around spots could be tight... .we may have to line up on the side road........but its still a good meeting place for those not in a group to catch up.........I'll just wait and see what gets posted on ...........whats ya'lls thinking???

I wish I knew if for sure I can make it or not :depress:. Since my accident this past Oct I've still been playing catch up while working on current bills. So hopefully I'll be going to court soon and if the drunk driver that hit me insurance company wants to settle out of court then I should be able to make, if not then who knows when I'll collect the settlement. Is their a cut off date for registering for MV IV? I would love to go plus it will be the 1st time the better half has been to FL and our 1st real vacation besides going away to the beach for the weekend.

Make the reservations for the hotel room now. You can always cancel, but if they get booked up you'll be sleeping in the car.
