I cannot attend this one either. I will be heading to Sturgis SD this coming Thursday.

As they say is the Navy - Fair Winds and Following Sea to Sean and Holli. Hopefully we will get to see you guys some time in the near future.

[trAVelingman]

Not able to make this Farewell GTG for them.  Take care Sean and Holli and I will look you up during my frequent travels to San Diego over the next 2 years.

When is the relocation happening?

[Heidi Ho]

It was great hearing from Chevy Lightning yesterday....I look forward to seeing you one last time before your new journey begins.  We love you and Miss you both dearly.  Good Luck!!! 

[gn85]

That really sux.  We're going to be heading out of town this coming weekend for Buick event.  The Av is going to do it's first long towing job.

I'll miss you guys.  You two were one of the first people we met in the Av community.  You both are largely responible for me buying an Av.  Not just because of the sweet truck, but also just being genuinely nice people.

Take care and good luck on the wrong (I mean left) coast.

[ChevyThunder]

Hey All...

Originally I was going to be leaving in October, heading for duty on a guided missile cruiser in San Diego (USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN CG-57).

I found out last week that I'll be leaving in August instead. August 6th will be my last day in MD. I was only given about three weeks notice. I'll be heading to Pensacola,FL for 36 days of training before  Holli meets me in Augusta, GA around the 11 of September. We will be heading to San Diego on or about the 18 of SEP.

Sorry..no STI this year.

I know it's short notice for everyone. I completely understand if folks can't make it. I've been stressed to the max trying to get ready to move in less than three weeks. It's doable, but it sucks.

Understand completely, and it's been a pleasure hanging out with the two of you. We'll miss you both dearly. have a great weekend with the GN.

You're welcome at our place anytime!! I'll make sure you have my cell before we leave.

I cannot attend this one either. I will be heading to Sturgis SD this coming Thursday.

Sturgis? Awww man!!! I'm very jealous. Have fun and be safe!!

[EricB]

Wish I could you guys!  Unfortunately I won't be able to make it.  Maybe on your way to Pensacola, if you're driving, we could meet up somewhere.

Godspeed and best wishes to you both!

Good luck in San Diego.  Do not drive across the bridge with the windows down and loose the parking pass, they will not let you park on base without it. (Someone I know did just that within days of getting his car and pass out there).

[Tango Chaser]

Must be transfer time in the Navy.  A friend from H.S. is married to a Navy guy, they just got orders to leave San Diego and head to FL.


Good luck with the move CT!. 

[Moddess]

Oh! No! Can`t beleive I won`t be back to see you both. I`ll try my best to see you in GA and bring you a supply of my special Canadian Baked Bean.

 

You will both be miss on the East Coast. Glad I got to spend some time with you on July 5th.

[Spork_Driver]

I smell another farewell gtg in Augusta    Let me know the date you guys will be here and I'm certain I can throw something together....even if it is only a trip to Brusters.

[Z66 BUTCH]

Since we missed the last several GTG's with you guys, you are invited to stop as you pass through central Indiana and I will cook up some cheeseburgers and serve them to you in our new "diner"!
Just PM me for the address! GOOD LUCK in San Diego!

[Shels Land]

Best of luck CT & Holli! Wish I could make this. Guess I'll have to come see you in SD (oh darn!)  Good luck with the move.

Love ya both

Thanks Eric. I'll be heading to PCOLA from Augusta on Sunday the 8th (very early). If I don't catch you then, maybe on the return trip in September.

Good luck in San Diego.  Do not drive across the bridge with the windows down and loose the parking pass, they will not let you park on base without it. (Someone I know did just that within days of getting his car and pass out there).

Thanks Maverick!!
Getting a pass is such a PITA, I know that guy was fuming!!! Over the bridge is an all open drive for me. I love the breezes up there, especially in my nice aerodynamic lifted Avalanche that handles like a brick wall..lol

Thanks TC. I've been trying to get back to SD for years. I'm looking forward to going home.

Don't go out of your way on my account Marie-Anne. You've done so much for me already. We're glad we could share our house with you. Hope to see you at some point before we leave.

oh BTW..Tail light problem was a fuse. Found that after I replaced every component on that side.  Having all that stuff back there actually makes it harder to troubleshoot, especially without a schematic!!
Miss ya.

Heather.

I'll only be in Augusta for a day the weekend of 7-9 August, but Holli and I will be at least a few days around Sep 14th. I'll let you know but the weekend of 11-13 Sep may be perfect.

Since we missed the last several GTG's with you guys, you are invited to stop as you pass through central Indiana and I will cook up some cheeseburgers and serve them to you in our new "diner"!

Butch.., you all were my first AV family. I'll never forget  Indiana, and the special people up there. Not sure when Holli and I will be back up that way, but we will do our best to see you if we can. Love to you both!!

Best of luck CT & Holli! Wish I could make this. Guess I'll have to come see you in SD (oh darn!)  Good luck with the move.

Love ya both   

Thanks!!

I hear the flights are pretty cheap if you fly into LA!!  Lodging may cost you though

Sean & Holli

What can I say..... Alot has happened  recently and you both have made me feel cared about & loved.  And I feel the same way about both of you!!!   Its just geography..... that will keep you and the people that love and care about you both from seeing each other...  ONLY FOR A WHILE.     

I wish you both   the best of luck  and i am sure after you both get settled in you will be happy in SD.   Please keep in touch even if its through emails.   I am NOT afraid to fly so  i would like to come visit.   

Smile and know  i'll always keep you both in my heart....

Seeing you guys at the wedding John was definitely one of my favorite club moments. If you had asked me 6 years ago when I joined if the club woulod be part of my wedding..I never would have guessed. We'll keep in touch. We'll miss you and the girls a great deal.

If it wasn't such a speed trip, and if I already wasn't aq bit behind I would stop and say hey..or goodbye whichever it may be but I have places to be or else...lol.

The quick timeline has prety much screwed me out of STI too. 

I'll be moving again soo. You never know where. 

[MD2500AV]

I believe we can make it but have to leave by 1

[Vetman]

Sean and Holli, you know if We could make it there Sharon and I would be there in a heart beat. But we've used up our vacation with two weddings (Niece and Nephew) and the Nationals.
If your travels to the West Coast are going to take you through the DFW area please let me know. We'd love to see you two. You're welcome to crash at our house any time.

Vetman

[Willyorca]

You all will be missed.
