Because I still don't know if I'll get a visa and stuff, but I'd love to come over for a few weeks in the summer, Hatrackon or not.
But anyways:
Boon gave me the idea - a road trip. I could stay a couple days with a Hatracker, who would then drive me to another Hatracker; we'd hang out, then Hatracker 1 would go back home, while Hatracker 2 would take me to Hatracker 3 etc.
Basically, I'd spend a day (or 2 or 3) with several Hatrackers, visiting several places...
What do you think?

But wait, I have an idea. Kama, if you're in a city visiting a Hatracker, and there just happens to be other Hatrackers in the same city, what's to stop more visiting than one at a time?

Oh well.
SOMEONE else lives in TX and I've forgotten who that is...(besides Kat, of course).
I like the idea of passing Kama across the country from East to West or vice versa.
I think part of your trip should be along the I-10 corridor. We could even take you to New Orleans which is either the best or the worst place in the country (if not the world) depending on ones point of view.
Also, I wouldn't mind driving you up from TX to the Kansas/Missouri folks or down from there to TX or from TX to someplace East (or West) Whatever works. I'll take a least one "leg" of Kama.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that Kayla is up there in the Midwest as well.

You could make it coast to coast and back in three weeks if you wanted to spend the whole time driving.

I think limiting this to the eastern part of the country would be rational... and I'd still have the reason to go back next time
So, what? A circle including NYC, Texas, Oklahoma and Chicago? What else? Florida? Is that good for 3 weeks of not-only-driving-but also-having-fun?

And, uh, my home has no air conditioning.
However, I would be happy to pay for your stay at a local motel, or maybe with my sister nearby who does have air conditioning. I just know our German foreign exchange student HATED the heat of August here.

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :
Hmm...
Would it make a difference if it was the end of August, rather than beginning?
I said August with the thought of HatrackCon in mind, as it seemed to be the date most suited for most. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to make it much earlier (say, June); I don't know if it could be later (September?). I still need to talk about it with my boss, but I won't be able to before my contract is prolonged, which will be at the end of February - I will be able to make more specific plans then.
I suppose, in the worst case scenario, I will just try and endure the weather

Toretha lives in Batorn Rogue (I think someone else as well). We have two big couches you can crash on (unless you're alergic to dogs: Grace gets up on them all the time, so the house fair reeks of dog), although it would have to be for only one night. I don't think Mom would be too keen on the idea, but I have another place you could stay... If Correlle doesn't sell her house.
Methinks we should get a map and start putting pushpins in certain locations, so we can plot stops.

August, however, is NOT a good idea. August is so, so hot here. I promise that there is no area of Poland as miserable as the South in August. In fact, July - September is almost universally unbearable. It's sub-tropical here, and it's just terrible for schlepping about.
On the other hand, we do live here. So, it must be bearable some way. I just think you'd have more fun if stepping outside wasn't like swimming in boiling fog. That doesn't mean you can't have fun, it just means fun usually happens inside. And make sure every Hatracker driving has air conditioning!!!

quote:Bulgarian Climate
Temperate continental with clearly marked four seasons. A Mediterranean influence is felt in the country's southern regions. The average annual temperature is 10.5°C. The average January temperature is around O°C. Average summer temperatures rarely exceed 30°C.
quote:New Orleans
The best hotel bargains can be found in June, July and August, but be prepared for temperatures at or above 90 F/32 C and humidity of 66% or higher. Pace your sightseeing if you go at that time, and dress appropriately -- the humidity can be exhausting. Frequent afternoon thunderstorms help cool things down.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
July is technically the hottest month, but August seems hotter. I don't know if it is the lack of holidays, or that summer has been going on so long, or the anticipation of it being over. I also have this mental image of the earth being warmed a little every day and cooling at night. So even though there is less sun coming down, the cumulative baking of the earth has progressed more.
The east coast, especially the DC area, is very "muggy" meaning humid, in the summer.
Texas can get hot, but it's a dry heat. I liked Texas when I was there in the summer. But it depends on what part.
Chicago you never know what you are going to get. It is on a giant lake so it can be humid, but I hear it hasn't been to bad the last couple of years. It's also fairly far north.
In a hypothetical road trip, it would be 20 hours driving between Utah and Chicago. 14 between Chicago and New York. 6 between New York and DC. I'm a little foggy on moving south on the east coast, but maybe 6 to Greensboro? And another 12 on down to Florida. I've never actually been to Florida, but my sister moved there last year. I'm not as sure about Louisiana (LA) and Texas. Though my quickest drive from DC to Utah was on I-40, though the top parts of the South. I know that between Utah and Central California is like 12 hours, and another 5 hours to get to Southern California.
If I had no other commitments, I would prefer to drive in April or October. Fall and Spring are really lovely everywhere I've been. But now that I've got a kid in school it would mean compressing the trip much more than I would be otherwise inclined to do.

Not really, August is pretty much hot from start to finish. It doesn't really start to cool down in the midwest, typically, until the middle of September. What is Poland's August weather like?
By the way, certain parts of Texas may be dry, but other parts, like Houston, have been incredibly humid in my experience. I assume it's from the Gulf of Mexico. Not that the humidity is a problem, but just so you know.

Really? And I've only been to one , I need to learn to drive so I can go to more gatherings .
(And if I learn to drive before this trip takes place I might be able to provide [or rather convince my parents to provide] one of stops along the way, we usually have at least one empty bed room, and I am only about 2 hours away from blacwolve and company)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Don't do this to me again!!!!
I probably won't be here august, I'm going to Israel next year, and I think the year starts in august (I have to go to a "summer session") this is the second time there'll be a gathering that at least stops by my area (Southern Indiana) and I won't be able to come!!!!
