I am planning on making this trip also, hopefully with AJ, Alex and their other friend, making it a foursome to share costs. Have not been to the East Coast since living in Ohio. Nor have I made any FJR rides outside of the SW or Califonia, so this seems like real fun. My daughter is due with our 2nd grand child on September 27th, but lucky for me the wife wants to allow them at least a week to bond before piling in on them, which works out great for me. Will be able to confirm after taking with the Real boss later today.
