FrankieG,

Depending on what day and time you'll be passing through Washington DC, I may have a couch for you.  I live north of the Washington DC beltway in Germantown MD.

If you make it as far west as western Arkansas let me know.

I'll take you to the Pig Trail.

if you go over it in a truck pulling a trailer, there are some curves where you can see your own tail lights.

Toogoofy317 - How far is NPR from Orlando?  If it is not too far AND if FrankieG has a new bike, he could join the meet and greet I'm trying to organize for the first Sunday of the year in Orlando.

Hey NPR is 913 from O-Town might be too far to go. but may be a nice pit stop before home though!

I'd love to meet up and ride with you guys tough!

Did you mean 113 miles?  Thats not so bad.  FrankieG hasn't put out an itinerary, but a couple of days in "O-town" to see Mickey would be on my schedule.  Especially since you were nice enough to offer a couch.

I won't need you couch but will get in touch with you before me and the family drive down to FL.

boy not good at doing the typing with my PSP. Sorry bout that 213 or about two hours! Was sitting at the hospital to get more testing done Oy Vey! I"m about ten miles from Disney and I work at Universal sooo I can probably get you some discounted tickets to there. I'm not sure when we are supposed to be getting tickets again. We get three every quarter and the last one was in October.

Wow Frankie sorry bout the fire when it rains it pours or in your case guess a lot of rain may have helped!

I hope no major damage or injuries.

Quotealso ma has decided she wants to drive with me too

Does this mean you will need two couches?  I can still accommodate if you're in the DC area.  You get the futon.  I love YOU gets the guest room.

Dibbs on the discount tickets you can get in January!

with ma i will be doing the hotel thing...she is high maintenance lol.  the house is ruined but really it is no loss. it was terribly in need of repair and upgrades that just were not economically sensible.
