United-States Coast-to-Coast "Paix et Soleil" - Autumn 2008

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

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).

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.

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

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

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?

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
