Mlee,

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Sounds like a good way to get the fun started. You know I am IN !!!

:drinking::drinking: We gonna have a ball !!!

ha ha..U know it Chris!!!!!!!:happy0180:

Still working out the details of this trip for us - probably turning C5FII into a SW tour for the kids (Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Route 66, Santa Fe...).

Our mid-way stopping point for trips from Houston to Phoenix in the past was Van Horn, TX. About 120 miles short of El Paso but 10 hours from Houston and about 8 or so from Phoenix.

That's kewl, I'm just working on hotel stays for myself, but here's the deal. I can set up group rates very cheap since I'm a fire fighter... SO if each of the caravans start thinking of a stopping point for that night then I'd be happy to help get a group discount! But, the downside is I have to give the hotel at least a two month's notice. It's a pain in the ass, but a great perk for saving us a few dollars!

That's what I had thought too was a good stopping point, but others have mentioned el Paso, or even driving the 40 miles furhter to Las cruces... I'm open to any, I've just putting feelers out to what others think!

well ya'll know I am in.....if work cooperates this year!! lol

I am in this year. Just looking into how much it would be to rent in Houston and drive with ya'll. Or fly to Phoenix and rent and meet yall ~20 miles out of town and ride in with ya. And I will be renting a Camaro if at all possible (or a Vette if a Camaro isn't available)

I looked into a flight for my wife.....a NON STOP round trip from Houston to Phenix was $309 on Continental.

Yeah I saw the same thing.........now I am just hoping its close to that to rent and drive as that would be a whole lot more fun. But somehow I doubt it will even be close

I think we will be joining you guys again this year.. BUT we are going to get a car trailer and pull the car some of the way..I just don't want to put 3500 miles on my car...

But I will be driving her part of the trip!! :D

Cool... Louisana peeps...:thumbsup:...we need to get the whole crew back together again... Bring those Oracle AAC guys too.

Maybe someone in the Houston area needs a Co-pilot to ride with and share gas costs...:thumbsup:

I have talked to a lady at the El Paso Convention and Visitors Bureau re: lodging for approx. 200 rooms and Camaros and food the night(s) we are there. I have a short list of hotels that can accomodate us. We need numbers though for her to be able to present this to those hotels and see who wants to cut us the best deal.

I need a list of persons going, so I can project some sort of number.

I will copy/paste this into the SA and Houston threads too since we all basically end up on the same road before El Paso. I am also waiting on a response from a MOD to make sure I am not stepping on any toes.

Thanks

I am open to that too. Anybody need/want a copilot I will split gas and will throw in a free oil change if we stop by my shop on the return trip
