The plan is to spend Thursday night around Yankee Candle because leaving Friday Morning at 0400 last year made it a long day. JOS and I tired out around 3:00 PM the same day from alot of driving. This year I want to drive the scenic route.

or then there is the

Ice Cream Run; I need to get more details. I may want to do part of this run.

I did my first MOT last year, and had an absolute blast, (even though there were clouds at the top of Mt. Washington. No view ).

Here's a write-up of my experiences, should you be interested: http://web.mac.com/jonnieoh/My_MINI_..._Top_2008.html

This year I can't do it, but I will return again sometime soon!

All I can tell you guys is that if you're interested, BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM AND MOT REGISTRATION ASAP!

There are only so many spots and rooms available.

I would LOVE to do this, but I don't think hubby can make the trip with me... and I'm not about to go there on my own. I need a travel buddy

Clearly why you should just travel with all of us as a group!

Totally unrelated... but I designed a shirt that is basically your license plate:


I just wore it to work last week!

Love it! A bit too pink for my own attire, but fully support your mindset!

Me and my father are going. We can't decided if we will take both MINIs or not. I am going to bring mine for sure. There is a group of us heading out from western NY. Haven't booked anything yet, I am planning on staying at a nearby campsite.

Hey... real men wear pink! Although, that shirt in pink might send out the wrong signal. lol

I just signed up this morning... staying at the Attitash Hotel as recommended by the MOT site. The lady said, "Wow a lot of people are staying here for that event!"

MissMoxie, I too made reservations still not sure if my wife can make it either... Nonetheless, I've booked everything for two... :-) Driving up Friday morning.

I am from Fredonia and my dad is from Canandaigua area. So that is two more, plus several from the WNY board are going. So there should be a good showing from WNY

We're leaving on Sunday, but instead of NY we'll be headed to Cleveland to visit family.
