Default Leaving on a jet plane....

7:30 pm flight to Nashville then a drive to Bowling Green tonight. This time tomorrow (7:45 in the morning) my museum delivery experience (taking my 83 year old Dad with me) will begin. I may be leaving on a jet plane but I know when I will be back and I will be behind the wheel of my Stingray when I arrive!

Super neat that you and your dad are sharing this trip. I'm sure you'll sleep like a log tonight I know I did. Had the alarm set for 5 AM and was wide eyed and bushy tailed at 3:50! We will expect pics and a story of your return trip. Enjoy

I'm not expecting to sleep well tonight! Doing this with my Dad is a real blessing, at 83 (well, 83 May 5th) and in great health I know I am lucky as many others I know and I am sure here on the forum are not as lucky. My Grandfather worked for Fisher Body ultimatley retiring from GM so it will be a special trip for many reasons. I will be posting thoughts and pictures.
