 Topic: AMVIV - it's getting closer!
Posted: March/12/08 at 12:00am |
AMVIV is getting so close, I can hardlly stand it. We are leaving mid-day on the 24th, so that means only 12 days til we go. Yahoo!!!!!!
 Is anyone else going as nuts as me?
(Did I fail to mention that I've had a countdown going since 140 days ago?  ) |

I'm not sure there is anyone as nuts as you  !!
However, since I've been on the same countdown... I come in a close second!!! 
You do realize it's only 8 more working days.....  |

You both realize you are nut jobs right?!?!?  This could be an interesting 20 hour drive! I already told Anne that since we are taking her car I'm sitting back and relaxing on the strip cruise. Tequila shots will precede that drive..for me!

So how does that saying go ... get in, sit down, strap in, shut up, and hold on?

I'm the only one flying down and I don't see why I shouldn't be there...
Like the comment on whether my arms will be sore or if my new mods are making this flying trip possible ;-) Lol....
