Well It's about time for my annual spring trip back east. This year also begins a new chapter of flying across country vs driving (yaa! no more dodging tornados). I am also picking up my new 2006 X5 4.4i Sport in Spartanburg THIS FRIDAY! The next 6 weeks will find me in Spartanburg, Charleston, Atlanta, central NJ, Ocean City MD(golf), back to NJ, Ridgefield CT, back to Charleston, ending in Jacksonville for Memorial Day weekend. After that, maybe another week in Charleston, before trying to figure how to get back to Idaho. Seems my townhouse won't close until August (or later ), so nowhere to park the new X5, except maybe back in NJ. I'll figure out something as the trip progresses.

As you can tell from my itinerary, I pass by alot of y'all on the east coast. If you see a highland green 4.4 Sport with 132 rims with Idaho plates(red,white,blue,'CITADEL') pass by, give me a honk or a wave. Please forgive me if I may not notice as I will probably be devoting more of my attention to the many drivers who inexplicably managed to obtain a driver's license or are driving without one.

Like that Disney commercial, I'm too excited to sleep , but I really ought to try. I have a busy 6 weeks ahead of me. I've got a laptop, so I'll check in from time to time. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to meet some of you. Please forgive me if my schedule can't match yours. I'll be back for the closing and will probably stay thru November. Maybe we'll catch each other then.

If someone can explain how to reduce 2MB pics down to 100KB, I'll try to post pics of the new X. Thanks! Be Seein' You
