MTNC (MINI Takes NC)

What would you guys think about holding our own MTTS but instead of going to Miami, just running across the state to like the Outer Banks or even Myrtle? Maybe just take a day to get there, 2-3 days there, and then a day back. Could even be done over an extended weekend. We wouldn't have to drive to a different city everyday, we could just relax, do a scavenger hunt, etc...

Is this something that anyone would even be the slightest interested in doing? Wouldn't be till the summer...

We had talked about this, I think @ MTTS.. if you want to include SC.. let me know... and we can brain storm together.. think it would be a blast!!
Isn't this year Mini's birthday? I am curious to see if they will do something again!!! I really did enjoy Miami..

All depends on the financial situation and when it is. But it would be a whole lotta fun.

Depending on the date(s) I would probably be interested. depending on how much time is available we could start in Columbia, go to Charleston then to Myrtle, Raleigh, Asheville, Greenville and end in Charlotte. Definitely interested.

Trace...what part of Maryland will you guys be in? Jimmy and I will be there from Feb 18th-24th. If you're not too far away, maybe we could all go out to dinner or something!

The job site is in Aquasco MD. We havent found a house yet.

Here is where Aquasco is.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

We are trying to get an extension on his report date because its next to impossible to get everything done by then. We have been looking at some houses near Prince Fredrick. you can see that on the map too.

If we are near we would love to go out!!! No family or friends. I really don't know how military families constantly move! I need to find a MINI club up there now.

Its official...Bob got his final contract today.
He has to report on Feb 16. His last day at this job site is tomorrow. We will probably leave Thursday or Friday to look for a house and I will come back by myself to pack. This really sucks. No family ... no friends.

Anna let me know where you will be.
