Are you packed? Is Uncle Bill ready to go?
Are you sure you can sit still for 7 hours?
Good luck ol' buddy, have a safe trip.
Take lot's of pictures, but leave Dave's cat there....

Fred I would be more concerned about Dave's driving once you get there, rather than worry about the flight. lmao

Have a good trip Fred. I know it will be tough, but try to keep Uncle Bill out of trouble. LOL Just don't take him anywhere near Normandy while over there and he should remain calm. I too, would be concerned about Dave's driving. I have it from a reputable source he drives on the wrong side of the road. Ha Ha. Have a great trip. God Bless.

He's too nervous to eat, called twice last nite to take him for supper & he finally called back this morning with some excuse about being busy with last minute details, which included something about me & his will. Linda will be opening up the Shop for me when I check in daily & I think Glenn & John C. will be helping me since they are more mechanically inclined, more later, Yard Sale next week...Harvey

Dont worry guys my drivings all good....lets face it.............I have a left hand drive to drive on the right hand side......and i quite ritely drive on the right when i right over there with you guys but left alone I have been known to drive my right hand drive on the left because im still thinking that its right to drive on the right when im left alone to drive over there. Am I right? or should this. subject be left alone...........rite??
Anyway Fred will be sitting in the middle of the road with no wheel or pedals and waving at oncoming semis.........
Glenn knows about the special English way of driving 7 foot wide trucks down 6 foot wide English lanes.......MAN I SURE HOPE FREDS PACKING SPARE UNDERWEAR !!!!!
Thats why a guy like me has TWO driving licences.....USA and UK so i am ALLOWED to drive on both sides of the road.......I think when Freds here ill go easy on him, Ill drive on the right on Monday and wednesday and on the left sunday tuesday and friday that way he will feel rite at home.........

I hope you got packed now Fred. Do not miss the van.
Dave is not kidding about the lane.
BUT, he is not telling you the whole truth either. Before you get in the truck, make him tell you about the little cars coming the other way. The road didn't get any wider, let me tell you that!

Have a good time Fred, I certainly enjoyed it merry ole England. The drivein for me wast too bad, usually the worst is crossing the street cause Americans always look the wrong way and step off the curb into oncoming traffic!!!! The plane ride is miserable for me cause I dont sleep sitting up!!

When I flew to Germany 40 some years ago the seats were facing backward. Supposed to be safer but sure was weird!

He called on his way out & phone service gets worse the closer you get to Uncle Bill's. I lost him at 2:16pm, I think he's really gone now. Linda stayed home to get ready for Sale...Harvey

I guess I'll have to change my Sunday plans in order to make the yard sale. Didn't somebody say they had a lot of $1.00 stickers to use up?
Have a good trip Fred, I'm sure Dave will take good care of you after supplying him with cake while he was over here. Charlie

As best as I can figure he's probably taking off from Philly right now, and I bet the blood pressure is high. lol

He is leaving from Baltimore, and the plane leaves at 10 pm.
We got to wait until then to start stickering, 'cause once he takes off, he won't be able to get off until he get's to Dave's!
