Pat;
 
Looking forward to meeting you.  There will be several C3VR wives on this one I suspect. 
 
It may be a blessing to be staying 25 miles out, if you are trying to get around away from the museum.
 
Any recommendations for hotels in the Little Rock area that are reasonable?  (Choice hotels or Motel 6's?)

My g/f and I have been registered for this event since mid '07. Just found a hotel room last month about 8 miles from the NCM for 4 nights. We'll be caravaning from Florida, starting out in Titusville, matching up with any other caravan, and eventually ending up in Tampa (Ferman Cheverolet), where the caravan for the national run to the NCM begins. Its my understanding Andy Pilgrim will again be the 'Grand Marshall' again for the Florida caravan. I'll be taking the '06 to this party...don't want to 'wear' myself out with the g/f and all that we have to pack in the '82! After all these years, I don't think that car is made for trips like this any longer! LOL
 
I expect no less than a good time, but I do expect traffic delays caused by a bucket load of Corvettes. Now, given the traffic situation, would you rather be stuck in traffic for one or two hours staring at nothing but Corvettes or other typical road hazard foreign crap? Tongue

Myself, ButchsVette, & white78, will be traveling in the caravan out of Indy. Butch is a veteren caravan driver so I will be following his leed.

Heck more than anything I hope for good traveling weather. If that works out everything else will fall into place.

Now wouldn't that be a nice break-in cruise for a new car.....
