Thanks!

It's looking more and more likely that my migration to the US will take place eventually. However, this is just a short three week trip, the longest I will have spent in the USA. Sad really, especially as I like the place and people so much.

Andrew

Thanks to Debbie (dyned) and her family for an awesome welcome in Portland, OR. She invited around Whitacre and his lovely Gecko TDI, and I got to check out the entire family of NB's, including Bill's lovingly cared for red NBC. Debbie came around this morning and we had a very yummy breakfast at what she called a truckstop, and I would call a restaurant.

Here's some photos for you folks!

My next stop is San Francisco. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon (as in Saturday), and will be in town until Tuesday. Then it's off to Vegas.

I am still trying to believe it! Andrew/Hoonbug at my house! Such a delightful accent, I love it!

It was so great to finally meet you, after "knowing" you for over four years over the 'net. I hope next time we can visit longer.

Sleep well, and see you, one last time, in the morning.



People in the other cities: Get in touch! Meet Andrew!



ps: you really can't see all the ketchup all over my shirt and pants! Thank you!

Angel0910, Andrew is a sweetheart. I hope you can meet him and at least say Hello. You will then have a new international friend. PM him, and make plans!

Here's good as well. I believe I owe the Capn a PM as well. It'd be totally awesome if I could meet a few folks in each place. I'm in deepest darkest SF now, and I've heard that there's heaps of people buying buys in CA, but so far, no sightings. Need to go out and look harder.

Debbie: you were an awesome host. Thanks for looking after me and taking me back to the airport - I really appreciate it!

Andrew

YO YO YO...ATL in da HHHIIIIZZZZZZOOOUUUSSS!!

Monday isn't a traditional night for a GTG, but Aug 7 seems to be the best day among Aug 7-9.

Angel, there are quite a few ATL area Bug owners, and it would be great to get a bunch of us together in one place.

Captain,

Please the ATL GTG thread here

Atlanta Area GTG - Tuesday Aug 8th

I think it's safest to assume that the 7th is a write off in case I arrive late.

thanks,
Andrew

Thanks, JuggBug! I've got a car tomorrow to go to Palo Alto (can't pronounce it properly), but I'm pretty certain that I can't get to Palm Springs before I have to return it!

I'm leaving for there now - I only have one person's mobile number, so I will be there as soon as I can (it's ~ 500 m from my hotel... so hope to be there by 6.45 pm).
