You asked for it...so here's my 2 cents!

You could join myself and the 10-12 other women from I will be meeting up with in CA in March. Last year two of us flew out from PA, the rest of the group is from Salt Lake City (long story of how that happened...) We toured Sacramento the first day, rode down to Lodi the second day and hit some of the area winerys and then rode in the Cinderella Classic on the 3rd day. It's a blast...three days of non-stop laughter on the bike! I should be getting more details within the next week so I can make my plans...I'll keep you posted!

I believe there are quite a few TE members that do the Cindy...

Thanks, AG. Sounds like a blast. I've already got my name on the list to receive an entry application just in case that's where I end up.
Oh, and BTW, careful how you word that last part, will ya? hehehe

Yup, I believe your right. I think sometime before April (?)might be best. Whadya think? Although, Anchorage is a possibility too. Could be quite a bike adventure. I hear they have nice big mountains both places. I love hills! (Well, not really.) Maybe get some fishing in too. Hang out and play with some 'peanuts'...

Hey CC, as usual, you're a little ahead of me. I have made a decision. Many factors went into it and there was a lot of scheduling to be thought out on this one. Just about have my post typed up in Word. I will transfer it here ASAP. Hang in there.

I got a few vacation destinations out of this. It was hard to choose which one comes first. But, I finally did. All wonderful ideas as I knew they would be. So many I wouldn't have thought of myself because I didn't know they existed. I already know that I will be doing at least two of those "new to me" ones in later 2007/2008 vacations.

Thank you everyone. You really helped me out a lot. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can on this trip. I'll be back soon to post my decision.

Ok, CrazyCanuck - here ya go.

My decision came very hard, I must tell you. There were so many great ideas and I was very torn. So I decided to do a couple of them that are near enough to each other to make it feasible to combine them. So................

I'll be flying into Oakland mid-week Mar. 28th or so. Not sure of specific date yet. Will ride around the Bay area and Napa a few days and then do the Cinderella Ride on the 31st. I'll fly out within the next day or two into the Portland area. From there, I will be taking day trips up to Seattle and other places. I hope to meet tons of TE ladies while I'm on the west coast. Anyone with any specific ideas for any of these places, speak up please.

As for the Blue Ridge Parkway, I think I'd like to go there in the fall, 2007. Maybe OBX too. Do that trip as a split week kind of deal. It sounds great there.

As for Ohio, well, I went to visit BMo3 and her lovely family last weekend. Drove out 7 1/2 hours one way. Phew!! We also had Kitsune fly in from OR. What an eclectic grouping that was. Lots of fun. We will definitely do that again but next time I will fly as well. My azz is still stiff.

EBD - those day Napa trips that you posted will come in handy. Thanks.

Dar - I will only be flying alone on this trip. I have a feeling I won't be alone while out there. There are plenty of TE'ers and other bikers to keep me company. But feel free to join us. The more, the merrier!!

That's it for now. As I get some details, and more ideas from you all, I will update this thread.

Thank you to all who posted and all who PM'd me. It really meant a lot. I just love this forum. You ladies are the best!

Talk to ya soon...

Cindy
