No.



So, who's gonna pick me up?

That would depend on how many suitcases, bags, packages and (shoe) boxes you have with you. After all, a convertible has very limited cargo space.

It could take two or more of us to haul you and your paraphernalia from Nashville and I haven't seen too many Corvettes with a bumper hitch on it.

As a wise man once told me "Woman + travel= excess baggage."

Now if this is true, unless I have a flux capacitor with 1.21 gigawatts of power to phase shift her luggage we have a problem, Houston.

Of course, she could hire FedEx or UPS to ship the semi-trailer load of clothes and shoes directly to the Hampton and only have, at most, two carry on bags in which case I would gladly pick her up on Wednesday.

I was planning on it but had something else come up.

[GentleBen]

Okay, I can understand that. However, you should put it on your calendar now to attend next year's event.





That's what used to be called an order, Captain!

For a long weekend, one checked bag and one carry-on is usually how I roll.

So what time do you arrive in Nashville? Please tell me it isn't the 5:20 am flight on American.

Uhhhhhhhh...ok. I won't tell you that, yes, it is.


I'm willing to grab breakfat and hang out, do some work, etc. until it's a rational hour. Anyone that's willing to swing by, I'll work with their schedule.

Ben, remember that is central time, so it is really like 6:20 for an east coaster!

[GentleBen]

Nope, it is CDT which is like 5:20 am for someone who normally works on EST.

Well, it does have one redeeming feature. Assuming that the flight is on time then I could drive to Nashville, pick Sandy up, drive back to Bowling Green, allow her to check into the Hampton and grab a quick shower, and still get to the NCM in plenty of time to be there before it opens in order to hand out registration packages. . . assuming that she takes a quick shower.

Sandy, I'll be there O-Dark-Thirty. Look for a Supersonic Blue convertible C6.

I hope the checked bag can squeeze into the trunk.
Or did you install that luggage rack?

[GentleBen]

No rack, but if it doesn't fit in the trunk I'll lower the convertible top, have Sandy get seated, and stuff it in her lap. It's only an hour or so from the Nashville Airport to the Hampton in Bowling Green.

Sweet!

Dinner will be on me one night.

My checked bag is not a large one.
