Well, seeing as how I live about 400 feet from Hartford (I am just barely over the West Hartford town line), you will definitely be on path to meet up with me. Lunch at a minimum. As I said in my PM to you Kris, you've got a place to crash, and provided your arrival time isn't too crazy for my schedule (actually nothing is too crazy for my schedule :D ), a ride from the airport to wherever you need to go. And I'd like to hang out at a bar or something (that's why I say screw lunch).
Let me know more details about when you're coming in and what you've got planned exactly. Rock on and look forward to meeting you dude-

KB: You'll be a ways North of me, but JUST FOR YOU I'll make the 2 hour trip!!! *lol*
Actually, I drive too fast (made it across PA via the Tpke in 5 hours) so I'm only gonna be in the car for an hour.
I'd love to provide some entertainment if you don't mind making a quick stop somewhere along the way. PA is a beautiful drive, the budding trees will be a nice backdrop. Glad to see you so excited about all this! :D

Wow, it looks like there are a few peeps who I can plan around. :p
But the date has changed. I moved it to the 27th of March. This way I dont have to take three days off work, just one. I also purchased a round trip ticket for two reasons. The first was, it was cheaper that way, and second. Just in case I dont think the car can make it, I have a way home.
But I will sit down with a map in a few days, and plot my definate route. Then I will let you all know. :D
Oh, G$, hell yeah thats a long drive. :) But it will be fun.
