Paix et Soleil
San Fran to New York
Friday, 5th September to Monday, 22nd September

We're driving across the States in autumn 2008, coast to coast, starting the trip in San Francisco and joining in the San Fran Magical Mystery Tour before making our way to New York. A rough route has been sketched out on Google maps (see link below) which shows approximate stops and timing. This will be a chilled, take-it-as-it-comes, kind of road trip with two or three days long driving through the not-so-exciting bits. Any MINI enthusiasts would be welcome to join us for as long as they want to be on the road

ROUTE: Google Maps

Me and Gravity strong possibles for this

118 · Aug 8th, 2007, 10:08 AM

oooooh that sounds fun Pappi, i'm sure you'll have a blast!

minicabrio · Aug 8th, 2007, 10:58 AM

How long are you looking at taking hun to traverse the states?

yellowmininy · Aug 8th, 2007, 12:31 PM

Let me know if you're travelling through New York State, and stop over with me. (Rochester NY, near Route 90/New York State Thruway).

AprilWhine · Aug 8th, 2007, 12:33 PM

Sounds like fun, just let me know where to meet you. Better than MTTS!

If I can help with any of the planning, just say so.

murmini · Aug 8th, 2007, 01:13 PM

Assuming this willbe later in the year than the proposed MTTS II? Please put me on your mailing list, I would be very interested.

Two weeks, Jon. Just waiting for a response in the other thread before I confirm dates

Very likely, and visiting you is high on the list

Thank you, and of course we'll pop in and see you somewhere along the way

Will do

ButtonIt · Aug 8th, 2007, 05:11 PM

Indeed, myself and the little lady will be up for this

AprilWhine · Aug 8th, 2007, 05:53 PM

What is your eastern airport? Are you going to try to rent MINIs? We'll drive out from Vegas and make the whole trip, we're OAPs now.

Nothing firm yet, Sherry, but starting point is likely to be New York

Goonery · Aug 8th, 2007, 06:01 PM

Some nice ideas for routes on this site

ROAD TRIP USA

I guess we'd fly in to NY airports , but nothing is fixed yet

AprilWhine · Aug 8th, 2007, 06:06 PM

Stu and Pappi, we would like to do both MTTS and your drive. Can you please try to make sure the dates don't overlap?

Oh yes, the only way MTTS wil be at the same time is if MINI USA invite us over as a special guest for the event, and that aint gonna happen

We'll be rounding off the two-week trip in Cali, so I'm just waiting to hear dates for the San Fran weekend from Zied

AprilWhine · Aug 8th, 2007, 06:54 PM

Thanks! We had planned on driving to Alaska in summer of 2008, but I think that will be delayed until 2009 now.

Alaska could be a side trip

AprilWhine · Aug 8th, 2007, 09:57 PM

We're up for a side trip to Alaska, here's a link to recommended rental vehicles:

RV Rentals, Motorhome Rental, Recreational Vehicle Sales, RV Rental

AprilWhine · Aug 8th, 2007, 09:58 PM
