There is a problem with the road trip that we spoke of at the meeting: I looked in the 'discount' at Discount and (a) they have no 7 passenger vehicles at that time, and (b) they are closed on Friday and only open 'till 11:30 AM the Saturday which adds at least a full day and possibly two full days for a trip at that time (we spoke of Easter weekend, April 6 and 7). I checked Budget and Enterprise and they are either also closed or showing no vehicles (of any size) available for the 5, 6, 7 of April.

I looked at Discount the following weekend and there are still no 7 passenger vehicles available. Budget and Enterprise (on the following weekend) have vehicles but the cost becomes too steep for my Scottish blood. We are looking at about $55 each (rental, mileage costs over 400 km, and taxes in, no insurance included). It wouldn't cost me twice that in gas only in my own vehicle. So, if we have a minimum of 3 going, the costs would be approximately half ($90 for gas divided three ways).

Any comments? Perhaps we should have a show of virtual hands as to who is committed to go: (a) on Easter weekend, (Apr 6, 7) or (b) on the weekend following (Apr 13, 14); and thirdly, who would still be interested if we caravaned with 2 vehicles. G

Works for me.

I'm going to have to back out of the Easter week-end and following week-ends. I've got family commitments up the wazoo and March/April will be tough for me.

What's the destination for this road trip?

Toronto region.
How about the weekend of the 15 Th, if persons are interested in checking out the DRAS event - caravaning is a good option.

The DRAS aquariama is on a Sunday. I'm interested but this would mean a very frenetic down and back if we go on Saturday and Sunday. Or, is a two day trip worth it? Down Friday and back Sunday, late?

I wonder what happened to that trip? If anyone is interested, we can just take a day trip down anywhoo . Doesn't even have to be this weekend. Or even a day trip to MTL could be good for now I'd pitch in for gas and provide geeky company at the very least

It looks like an overnight trip is going to be tough for me to pull off. A 1 day return trip would be better for me.

What about the SAM auction?
