I have a spare bed and a couch if you want to all fight over that. lol

There's a brand new Holiay Inn Express up on Arrowood (Exit 3) about 3 miles from Carowinds.

Do you want to try 8:45 for breakfast? They were slow at C3, so we might want to do 8:30. :lol:

I'm good with any time. I just figured we should get there early in case they are running slow again. lol

Just let me know when you guys want to meet.

OKAY!!! Our reservations are set.

I got us booked at the Econolodge in Kannappolis for Friday night. (we were thinking of driving down on Saturday morning but the more I thought about it, the more I despised that idea so)... I found a great rate for Friday: :P

Now, let's iron down the time and location for breakfast. Wes, Bearded Dude, you guys still want to do 8:30am at the CB?

Since everyone goes by a nickname on this site, I should use my old one...Tatter Tot. lol :lol: It's a long story.


Anyway...8:30 is good for me, I'd say 9:00 but last year CB was very slow and I had to beat them down to get my breakfast.

Now watch them be fast. :roll:

78 degrees and Sunny! 8)

8:30 at the CB sounds good to me. My wife might even show up for breakfast and a little bit of time in the park.

See you guys on Saturday.

BTW - The plan is for you and John to ride together because Barbara and I have to carry the dogs with us and we will be leaving around 5 - 5:15. We will stop at M&Sues place and wait for you to arrive there then onto the hotel.

I'll be sure to have Johnny give you a call if he contacts us tonight.
