Bert & Sonia: Peg and I were "stuck" in San Diego because we could not get a flight to NJ until today. Arrived home about 10 pm EDT. We are A-OK. No damage to the house, basement totally dry, we did not lose power, but based upon what I see around we were very lucky. Will do a full assessment tomorrow. Thanks for asking, and we look forward to see you all in two weeks.

Hi all, The millers and the Babicks have made the trip to Canada about a dozen times (in our minds only). It looks like we will have between 50 to 55 members and about 15 cars. ARE WE GETTING EXCITED!!!!! YOU BET WE ARE. We will be leaving American Canyon on Sunday and arrive in Canada on Tuesday. It will be a nice slow trip.

Hey Charlies, Don't forget your camera!!!!!
See you all in about a week.

an FYI.....I checked with my cell phone carrier yesterday (Verizon) to see the costs of service in Canada. The roaming charge is 69 cents per minute for cell phone service, and the data roaming charge is very high. I was told to use wi fi for data, email etc, and to shut of the "data roaming" feature on the phone while in Canada. So if you do not want a shock when you get your next bill you may want to check with your carrier.

thanks for the update. Peg and I are on a plane first thing in the morning and should be at the hotel by late afternoon. How easy/hard was the border crossing?

Where Are You From? NJ CA

Do You own a car built by Durant? yes three of them

Charlie,

The border crossing at WA-543 truck route was easy, only 20 min or less. I received extra questions because the rental company assigned me a car with BC plates. I didn't think anything about it until I got to the border, those plates trigged extra questions from the border guard, but only for a few minutes. It was easy really. The only thing to be aware of is that the speed limits are lower on the Canadian side, 50 to 70KM most of the way.

Rick

Rick

thanks, that is where we plan on crossing the border as well. We land and noon PDT, by the time we get the car, etc, and 3 plus hour drive, I figure we should be at the hotel by 430-5 pm. See you for dinner tomorrow evening.

Once you cross the border it's an easy drive. Go up BC-15 and turn right on 88th Ave, then left on 200 Street and take first right on 88 Ave east. You'll the hotel green roof in the back of the shopping center on the left.

Won't be able to make it this year, but I hope all of you have a safe trip, and a great time. Hope for great weather too. Be there in spirit anyway.

The 2011 DMAC Annual Meeting is now in the history books. While we experienced a lot of rain, and getting lost several times, as well as one significant breakdown, a good time was had by all. Rick has started to post photos, and once we return to NJ and get the photos we took down loaded, there will be more to add to the forum. We had four members from Australia, several from Canada, many from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, and then those of us from PA, NJ, MN, AZ and points in between. Mark your calendars, next year we will be in Michigan in early September....be there, we had a great time in Vancouver, and thanks to Franz we had another fantastic time.

Sirs and Maams

I have returned to the north country after having enjoyed myself at the meet.

It was truly enjoyable meeting all the folk and discovering backgrounds, ethnicities and stuff.

I also pleased myself by examining my car's weaknesses agaisnt other cars at the meet. I crawled under all the cars while you city folk were in bed.

I had left home saying that I had better come back wiser and I think I did.

Sure enjoyed scaring the heck out my Ausie navigator on one missed shift on a downhill stop sign infested corner. Hey mate "arreeba, arreeba, undaley, eeeeha"; consider it "From Canada with love".

Magnum sucked $ 742 worth of gas to get there and back; but made it back over the mountains with no problems.

This is where I beg for forgiveness and ask for some help.

I was so busy talking, driving, shifting, double clutching and looking for the rest of the parade that I took no pictures.
I would sure appreciate any and all pictures anyone may have of the meet to be send to me (people, cars etc, and maybe some of me and my grandpa's "Bazoo").

I have a huge mailbox at :

Thanks to all and appreciating all the work of the executive and helpers, and especially to Franz (pretty efficient for one so young and cute as he is)

Regards
Guy

And to the ladies I met at the hat show:

I had spoken to you of my ***** sisters (who I love). Well the best comment one ever made to me was "Guy, you're just showing your ignorance". Ha, she was right and I love her.
