Well fellas...  didn't think my wife would ever twist my arm hard enough to make me do it but for vacation this summer we are gettin on a 777 Monday afternoon to go to London and Paris.  I can't see how it could be called a "vacation" when I'll be spending at least 20 hours total on airplanes, 10 hours at airports, 6 hours on trains, and who knows how much time in taxi cabs to go see a bunch of stuff that I don't care about and have no one (at least in Paris) understand what I am sayingCryCryCry.
Now wouldn't a better vacation be to spend a couple weeks working on a Corvette and driving it to car showsThumbs%20Up...but then my wife probably wouldn't enjoy thatUnhappy.  Sorry to vent like that but you guys are the only ones who would understand...
 
See you guys again missel of next week.

Hey Roger,
My wife has dragged me along for some things I thought I wouldn't enjoy. And then all of the sudden I realized I was kind of diggin' it.
Hopefully you will enjoy some or all of it.
Have a safe trip!

All this last week Roger's been comparing vacation costs to Corvette parts costs and vacation days to garage days.  I told him he'd be glad he went and so what if the Corvette takes a year or two or three to get up to judging standards.  I kinda wish I was on a plane to Europe right now, or anywhere for that matter.  I feel like I need to get away for a while....

I went to Asia and Europe on business a few years back. If you can get out of the big cities (they are all a like), and head out to smaller towns and the countryside, I think you might just enjoy yourselfWink. They have a lot od history to see. But I am with you on driving the vette, its way more fun.Big%20smile
