Well after weeks of debating should we shouldn't we...last night we finally decided that we are off to Biketoberfest in Daytona, Florida this Oct and I am soooooo excited
We were due to go back the the UK for a family wedding in Sept and to Spain for a friends wedding in Nov so fitting in a road trip to Daytona was looking unlikely....but last night we decided that as hubby now can't get leave in Sept or Nov and both trips would have to be fly in, wedding, fly out it really wasnt worth it....not for cost as we can claim back our airfares but time wise...its a 10 hr flight from Houston to London, then a 2hr drive to family in Ramsgate, for Spain it would be a 12 hr flight... having to change planes twice then a 5 hrs drive to the wedding location. I mailed our family and friend this morning to let them know, both parties totally understand why so there is no hassle...
Anyway we now plan to take a 10 day trip to Florida, 3 days ( 2 overnighters) to get there have 5 days with friends who live 20 miles from Biketoberfest and who are Harley lovers too, then 3 days to get back...... We have the route planned so all we have to do it book our rooms this weekend and we are sorted....
My only problem is the limited amount of clothes I am going to be able to take with me...ah well, will just have to use our friends washing machine......LOL
