Hi Bob, It's the weekend of May 30/June 1. I appreciate that you do not have the luxury of paid holiday - *if* I'm going, I may be travelling on the Tuesday preceding, returning either on the Sunday (late) or the Monday.
My only deciding factor is money. I have yet to cost it up, but will be doing so in the next week or two. I wish it was Ryanair non-stop, but that it ain't! Being a - you know - man of the world (nudge nudge wink wink), what are the travelling protocols to Charlotte? I presume a change in New York? Any idea of ticket price? I could be persuaded to travel out the Friday, back the Monday with you - perhaps we could share the cost of hire car? Of course, I'd have my Bird Of Prey in orbit beam us up and straight there, but I cannot allow pataks on my ship... Cot >that would be fun. When is it? If I flew out on a Friday and back on >the Monday I would only miss 2 days work (= 2 days pay, >unfortunately). It's possible, but less than 50% likely because I >pretty much have things mapped out for next year as far as time off is >concerned.

People drive very slowly there. ____________________________________ Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
