I am writing this on Behalf of our Florida Capt. Carrie Sue DeLeon reminding everyone it’s getting close to start making plans for a great vacation traveling the highways and by ways to Bowling Green Ky, home of the Corvette. I have planned an outstanding event as we travel to Ky. To get an idea of what this is all about please watch the video of past Caravans, and the excitement it brings, not just owning Corvette's, but meeting people from all over the country.
Sit back, ask the wife to watch the video, and after you get excited, just say the magic words to the wife, "ELVIS Graceland isn’t that far away, so maybe we'll drop by there to checkout the Kings home." It worked for me.



Here is our Florida website, giving vital information, and what I have in store for everybody.

If you where thinking about going I hope you made your hotel reservation by now, but don't give up if you hear there full. It's early and people will cancel, also clubs have blocked out room for there club members, which will open has the date gets closer.
Don't give up hope. Has for me, I plan on being there, and right now have no room, but month prior I always get a room.

Hope to see you all your smiling faces at the Museum.

Please remember to register for the Caravan by calling the Museum or at there website.

Any tips for a first-timer? I am very excited about this even though we only live about two and a half hours away. (Western Ky-near Paducah-Long enough drive for an old C3)

Since you live there, you can tell me of all the great places to visit. Only thing I can tell you bring camera, and some good walking shoes, have fun.

Hum...lots of nature. Mammoth cave is high on my list. They have different types of tours based of level of difficulty the best I remember. (I would wear jeans and bring a light jacket, it's quite chilly in those caves!) There are several caves in the area, one in Bowling Green (lost river?) you take a boat ride through. Haven't been on that one personally. There is a railroad/train museum in BG also that I've been meaning to go to. Beech Bend is an amusement park in BG. This may be out of the way for you but Cumberland Falls near Somerset, Ky is beautiful. (Somerset also has fairly large cruise-ins also.) Kentucky lake is practically in my back yard. I like going to the elk and bison prairie at LBL and to the dam to watch barges pass through the lock if you are that patient!
Sorry, not a whole lot of attractions around here. Do a search of Kentucky tourism and I'm sure you'll find something to do after you get tired of Corvettes.
Correction: I am about 2 1/2 hours away. Must have been half asleep that day!

And of course a Corvette plant tour!
