Details
Timing –
Monday Morning
Karl will spend Sunday night at Bert’s.
Connie will arrive at Bert’s by 5:30 am
Quick stop for coffee and then pick up Jane by 6:00 am.
Friday Afternoon
We should be back in the Philadelphia area by late afternoon
Food
We will be taking the PA turnpike northbound. The first place for bathrooms/coffee is Allentown. The next place is Hickory Run. If you want to have a full "breakfast", plan on having it before you get in the van. We will be stopping for coffee and bathroom breaks.
This will be a trip of fast food lunches. We will be stopping as necessary. Feel free to bring lunch for the first day, but we will be stopping.
Dinners will be at appropriate restaurants.
Rooms
We have four rooms each night. Bert and Karl in a double. Bill, Jane and Connie each in singles.
Locations are on the website.
Documentation - IMPORTANT
Bring your passport. You need this to enter Canada and then to reenter the US.
Gas, Tolls, etc.
Since this is a “shared expenses trip” we will keep track of tolls, gas, parking, etc. After the trip we will figure out each person’s share.
Weather Contingency Plan
We are going.
Clothing
Dress warm, we all know the drill.
Scopes
This is not a scope intensive trip. Bert will have his. Connie and Karl will undoubtedly bring theirs. For Jane and Bill, it is your call.
Checklists
A checklist has been made up and we will do the traditional evening compilation each night. Lead person for each night: Monday – Connie, Tuesday – Jane, Wednesday – Bill, Thursday - Karl
Tunes
Feel free to bring cassettes or CD for the ride. Bert will have his iPod.
