Yeah it is. 21 hours in one shot. I love driving on roads I’ve not seen before, so no big deal. Bloody flights tripled in cost overnight. It’s the principle of it… and a stubborn Scottish streak!
LOL, well I’m sure you’ll have an interesting trip! I’ll see you Sunday
What type of vehicle?
Can you time it to pick me up at the airport Monday night 
Ford Edge Nick. Weather looks ok along the I 40 so far tonight and into the weekend. I hope I’m east enough.
NP Troy, when do you get in?
I get in late Monday night. I have inspections earlier in the day. It’s just a quick cab to the hotel. I look forward to meeting you in person on Tuesday.
Good stuff Troy, see you
If you’re staying at the hotel, they have a free shuttle service.
