I would love to go, but my vacations are funny, I can only take them in the same week (m-f and I have weekends off) but for me to go I would either have to leave a day early or miss a day of work the next week as my vacation days dont go into the next week. Thats the problem I have with such far and exotic locations for MV's. If it was a M-F event I would have no problem....but since its a W-Su event that makes it a bit tough.
I did 19 straight hours from St. Louis back to S.A. for MV6 and that was rough. This would be a 1,300 mile trip and 23 1/2 hours one way. So its a tough call. I hate missing MV's

Judging a person does not define who they are... It defines who YOU are.

I've come to the conclusion that most people are a-holes and have no respect.
Amy drove mine for the 3rd time ever, to the casino. I cannot tell you how paranoid I was to put her behind the wheel of my car in a convoy of Marauders!! I don't mind if she bangs it up, that's life, but fear of her smashing into someone elses Marauder, I would feel sooooooooooooooooo bad for the other person. Anyway, it went well, some day this week I will go pluck my nails out of the "OH ****" handle.

2004 DTR Marauder, Built 26 February 2004, Inservice: 02 July 2004 Retired from DD 17 July 2008. Survived the cut, 28 April 2012. Back as a DD as of 18 November 2012.
Dang right, my 'vette is parked becaused she smacked it up and I was so mad I parked it and threw a car cover over it last year. I didn't yell, I was NOT happy, but I didn't yell. When I get the urge, I'll charge the battery, put it in the garage, get it on jackstands, and see what all I have to replace. Stuff happens, life goes on.
