All aboard the MADAME BUTTERFLY

Who is comin' with me!! I have been waiting for a transport since 3/11. MY (2nd) ship will finally be arriving on Sunday and I am hoping to run up to the front of the line and get aboard. How many of you have been sitting around waiting for a ride? The Madame Butterfly is scheduled for Manzaillo, Panama on 04/03/08, Port Hueneme (my stop) on 04/11/08, Tacoma WA 04/15/08 and finally Japan on 04/27/08.

Actually, once it docks at Port Hueneme I will be elated. Not that all of you waiting are not important, but if you are like me, you want your Clubbie RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Let me know if we are traveling together.

Yea! Good for you! Finally! A long voyage ahead, but it beats waitin' and singin' Otis Ray, right?

My baby should be finished today or tomorrow. I'm staking out all the ships through KLine, WW and verifying docking dates through Charleston.

Good luck at sea, my friend

Same thing happened to me, and it's been a long week waiting for my car to leave port.

Madam Butterfly

Has the Madam Butterfly sailed yet? The only thing I find is that my Mini Clubman is on it. Once it gets to Port Hueneme, how long does it take to leave there, on average?
