Oh boy......this is probably the one place in the country I'm going to have a hard time turning down    I've got my 20 yr high school reunion in TX(probably in the fall) and I need to get down to Galveston at some point to see the folks post-Ike. Not sure if the budget is going to be big enought o do it all. I'll have to see and may be a late addition to this. San Antonio is one of my all-time favorite cities

But of course!  You have mail 

[trannyman]

Put me down as a YES. I missed last year and wasn't happy about that at all. I'm sure Butch will be coming with me as well (unless his truck is done ). If it is then we will have to figure a way to tow it there. I know he won't drive it that far, but it would be cool to have an 800HP AV to drool over

[Texascwgrl]

Updated to here!!!   

[Iceman6075]

Count me in plus 1, where's the rest of Alabama and Florida.

What a nice guesture! 

Hmmm... hopefully we will be ready to open up for registration after the first of the year. 
Still awaiting information on the charity, then we will be able to move forward with more stuff and open up for discussion a few more of our National threads!

[Mud Diver]

Heard a news story yesterday that should help with travel. The CEO of Exxon/Mobil said he expects $1 or less a gallon gas this summer.

[Troublemaker]

Heard a news story yesterday that should help with travel. The CEO of Exxon/Mobil said he expects $1 or less a gallon gas this summer.

Is that just for him, or for everyone??   

[farmguy]

That's the national average. For those of us where prices are usually below the average, we could see high 80's and low 90 cent pump prices. 

[mhough]

Heard a news story yesterday that should help with travel. The CEO of Exxon/Mobil said he expects $1 or less a gallon gas this summer.

Actually I've heard something similar.  Our news stations are saying that the AAA experts are saying we could be paying less than $1.00 by the beginning of the year.  I hope their right and it continues into the summer.  Then my biggest worry will have to be paying for my room...

[Spork_Driver]

$1.25 here.

[Rocky07]

Well.....there is good news, bad and badder news with the price of oil today.

Good news:  Gas is cheaper

Bad news:  No longer economically viable to explore and drill at $40/barrel

Badder news: When the Middle East cuts us off again (and they will), we'll scramble again with $4+/gal gas and everyone will be playing the grab-a$$ game and rethoric to "diversify" our energy policy.

Around here in the North Texas area, several oil companies have been drilling everywhere.  I even have a contract to drill under my house in my neighborhood.  But, with oil at $40/barrel right now, they have almost stopped all activity.

Meanwhile....store up your $1/gal gas so everyone can come to the Nationals this year.  Pick a piece of that fine Texas real estate, stay awhile, Texas will eventually secede from the US and you can join in that control 75% of the oil refining capacity. 

btw....we use Prius' for door stops in Texas

[Texascwgrl]

Wow... good thing gas has come down, between my 16 miles per gallon AV and my 13 miles per gallon JEEP... I am sunk if they go back up again.

I am SO looking forward to seeing everyone next year!!!! When we traveled last year to Pigeon Forge, gas stayed in the area of $4 per gallon, which ran about 700.00 for gas last year!

[farmguy]

$1.29 in South Ft. Worth this morning.

[avz66]

When we traveled last year to Pigeon Forge, gas stayed in the area of $4 per gallon, which ran about 700.00 for gas last year!

Thats what keep me from going 

[Texascwgrl]

Thats what keep me from going 

I would really like to see the price of gas to NOT be a deal-breaker for anyone this year.  It was a bummer that we lost so many folks due to rising prices.  Maybe we can gain a few due to lowering prices 

I filled up yesterday for $1.48 at a local Walmart

[Lord Aries]

I don't see any reason at the moment why I wouldn't be able to make it for this... Add me plus my Jeep. 

[Texascwgrl]

I don't see any reason at the moment why I wouldn't be able to make it for this... Add me plus my Jeep.

Hey! Cut her some slack...Some of us have a life outside of this board.

Hey! Cut her some slack...Some of us have a life outside of this board. 

You mean there IS a life outside this board?  I need to get out more...

[Texascwgrl]

You all are funny!  I still love my AV and my AV family.  This is still (outside my immediate family) the best family anyone could ask for!
The Jeep is just a garagemate for the AV, NOT a replacement by any means!!!!!

[Steelheadchaser]

As always, if I can finagle the time off from work i will be there. I've just had a hard time getting off during the Summer months.

Just noticed I am the only one that will be coming from Utah. I am Nevada right now but that is changing so when I get to Utah I am going to have to turn up the pressure cooker a bit and get some to roll too

That shouldn't be a problem, should it? We are talking about a caravan with THE PEARL.

I am pumped to meet some members for sure I am the only CAFCNA member from this area  . Anyone know some fun stuff we can do down that way we might stay for a week and make it a vacation. And also any reccomendations on where we should stay at?

[Logan925]

I just punched it in 23 Hours and 22 Mins to get to San Antonio! We will most likely stop in tennessee and finish the trek the next day. We will be going through West Virginia,Kentucky,Tennessee,Arkansas, and of course Texas! I am pumped and I know my girlfriend is. Any thing cool we should see in those states on the way back? wow we have so much planning to do haha. what a great summer this should be.

[Loggie]

Sounds like you’re going to have a fun trip

[Logan925]

[todrick]

Put me plus 3 down as maybe.  Gonna try and squeeze some more leave out of my company for then.  Hope I can get it too because we plan on trying to go to Disney World in April since I can get in free for 5 days.

TCG and I used to live in Frederick, MD... we moved to San Antonio from there.  What a great drive!  I would recommend trying to hook up with others on the way if the timing works out.  It is always better to drive with other AVs!! 

We will have a full week of events planned and other sightseeing options and attractions lined up here in San Antonio... stay tuned!  We are also in the process of negotiating discounted room rates at a great hotel.

We look forward to meeting you and your GF.

I think it needs to be updated again.. 

[HerAvy]

I put in for my vacation that week-hasn't been approved but I'm 99% sure it won't be a problem. Put me down as a maybe. My friends lives in Santa Fe and it'd be great to see them again. Depends on gas prices too Hopefully they will be down by then.

Going to talk my brother-n-law to make the trip too (no AV) but the Tahoe wares the badge

EXCELLENT!  Used to live in Maryland myself.  We have made that trip many times.  Not sure about good stopping places...

JJ, suggestions?

Really wanted to go to this, but have to have back surgery Friday 1-16-09, be off work for 3 - 6 months, not sure if I'll have any vacation time left or be able to travel that far, but I'll still try.
Really wanted to see some old friends.

Ummm, Rahn... Yeah, your not allowed to NOT come 

[WarWagon]

Unfortunately, we won't be able to make the drive down.  It's just too far.  According to Google, it's over 2000 miles each way 

I hope everyone has fun down there though!  Would have loved to go.

[ken-drives]

Texascwgrl,  Add davebrown +1 for all week...

Glad to hear it. It was great meeting you when we were in  Fort Worth.

[TexasAVY]

Thank you.  I was great meeting all of you at lunch.  My wife really enjoyed it and is even talking about joining up here on CAFNA.  Now, after seeing what has been done to the different AV's, she understands what I want to do to ours.  I'm really looking forward to San Antonio, I really must be, because I'm using vacation tome that I normally use for hunting.

[Texascwgrl]

I am sure hunting is fun, but tailgating with other AV owners totally ROCKS 

[Moddess]

I'm thinking I can't miss national. Texascwgrl will Rock it and I'll be mad I didn't show up. I'll be in Canada for the summer so I'm thinking I'll fly to San Antonio. I'll be AVless but better then not being there at all.

So maybe list for me for now.

 

[Texascwgrl]

Love you too Moddess 

You know you better be there!

[Moddess]

Love you too Moddess

I know, I will hate my self if I miss it. Will take me a couple of months to commit 100% but I'll let you know ASAP.

List updated 

[james21]

Melissa, Please move me from the maybe to the Attending list; just myself for the whole time.

-James.

[Moddess]

No more maybe list for me. There is no way I can make this National.

Sorry Melissa. I tried, but just to much going on and an a lot of travelling plan (up in Canada) with the kids this summer.

[Aussie Red]

Aussie is backing out too. Sorry gang but no one is going to be able to ride with me and seems that I will be coming from Utah alone and just not comfortable rolling that far alone anymore. At my age a health issue could happen and being out there for 1400 miles alone is not something I want to be doing any longer. I would love to be there and when I was coming my daughter was able to ride with me and attend too. Sadly economy has said otherwise for her.
Enjoy it all who are able to get there.

[Texascwgrl]

Well, bummer Aussie and Moddess, but we understand.

James, I will add you to the list.  Registration is about ready... keep your eye out for the thread to open 

[Denman]

I also have to back out due to circumstances with the economy and other pressing issues, have fun it will be a great event...I really wanted to attend

[Texascwgrl]

Again, sorry to hear this, but understand. 

OK... we have lost a few, who will sign up to fill in these gaps!

I'm not going to be able to make it. We will be in TX that weekend visiting family in Galveston. We rarely get to see them, so don't want to rush off from Galveston in order to make this.  I'm sure it will be a blast, but I'm going to have to stick near the coast that weekend. I went to college near San Antonio and it is one of my very favorite cities to visit. It really hurts that I won't be making this GTG.

[Texascwgrl]

You will be missed.  How about Filling in the GAPS 

[amd1900mp]

OK.. Who is next to go from the preregistration list over to the Officially Registered" list?

Remember:
Even if you can't make it, a registration guarantees the welcome bag, t-shirts, name badges, etc.. and you know the excess funds go to the charity beneficiary.
