---I'm sure you all received the email about the NVE driving itinerary with all the information about the drive and hotels and times and the meet up at the Rauh's. If you haven't, email Debbie to make sure she has the correct email address for you so that you can get it. It is filled with very important information, basically everything you need to get ready for the drive out, and you should read it and make your arrangements ASAP---
But I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you to Debbie for setting all that up. It really is a lot of work talking to the different hotels and getting rates arranged, and also planning the route and putting everything together all in one place. Having set up a number of events I know that it is always more tricky and takes longer than you think.
So thank you Debbie for setting it up and having all the information all in one succinct place like that. Emily and I will be calling and booking our rooms tomorrow. It is nice to have all the information so nicely laid out and really makes it much easier to lock everything down. So thanks for all the effort, Debbie, it really is appreciated and helps to have all that done so early. Thank you.
***As a side note, for the drive I highly recommend those coming along get the app (available on droid and iPhone) called "Waze". It tells you where cops are located as well as cars pulled to the side of the road, slow downs or stoppages and accidents or emergency vehicles. Very helpful. Also, if you connect it via Bluetooth it should cut in and give you updates over the stereo. Otherwise, it just gives you audible warnings from the phone. Many of us will have it on the drive but I recommend getting it. The only drawback is it can really drain battery so make sure to have a car charger with you. It's a great little app though. It also tells you how many other users are ahead of you so you can get a feel for how accurate it will be. I am pretty sure it was free. It's worked well for me. Recently I was headed up to Airpark and while I was on the 10 nearing the 60, it alerted me that the 101 was at a complete standstill so I switched routes and took the 51 north instead. Very helpful little tool to have.***
Can't wait for this trip and to get on the road with my Viper crew. Let's Roll!!!
