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?

I'd still rather use Kama as the major draw for HatrackCon next summer, but I like this idea, too. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Why doesn't she just send herself over onto a server or something. Isn't she a computer program? Posts: 1466 | Registered: Jan 2003

Mr. Funny is so obsessed with Kama's software, he thinks that there's no reason to take a good glimpse at her hardware.

This sounds great...except the part that involves driving Kama to another Hatracker.
*curses the fates for not having a car*
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?

Yeah, I'm game too! In fact, Boon and FarmGirl aren't too terribly far from Caleb and tabithecat. Who in turn aren't horribly far from where I am...Or they're actually even closer to where dkw is.
As the nazgul flies anyway.
And let's see...TomD and katharina are here in TX...and some others even, right? I've forgotten.
But there's also John Keats who has a friend in Dallas and could maybe come down again to TX.
I'm still trying to get Icarus & Cor to come to TX. Maybe they could take you back to FL...big clump in FL.
Kama...you'd better plan on spending at least 3 months.

I'm probably within an easy drive of Farmgirl. So if you make it to the midwest, that's a link.
If you could find a way that you fly in to the east coast and out from the west coast (or the reverse) it would be kind of fun to see if we could pass you all the way across the country. Posts: 9866 | Registered: Apr 2002

But Bob...do you really want the majority of Kama's visit to the entire US to be in...*gulps* Texas? *snicker*

Don't I wish... Maybe one day, when I'm terribly rich.

I'm pretty sure it's possible; and what fun this would be!
I could make a stop for the Con in the middle of my trip or something Posts: 5700 | Registered: Feb 2002

Tom...I'm sorry. I thought you lived in TX. Where are you?
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.

It looks to me like she needs to land in NYC, swing down the eastern seaboard, across the southern U.S. to California, then back across the northern U.S. hitting the midwest and Chicago for the con, then back through Philly to NYC. Looks like a perfect itenarary to me. Posts: 2843 | Registered: A Long Time Ago!

this summer my wife and I will be in the midst of finalizing our adoption, or adjusting the kids to normal life.
That means I've run out of room to put a Kama.
However, if you get near MO, I'll visit with anyone else who can put you up, if I'm home. (Fugu?)
With my luck though, during the two weeks you are bumbing around the US, I'll be in Russia getting the my kids.

Kama, when will this be? Let me know and I'll try to coordinate some rendezvous, if I happen to be on my bike trip at the time. Then we can do all sorts of unmentionable things to make John jealous.

Hanging out with anyone from Hatrack is never a safe idea. That's why get-togethers are prefered....safety in numbers. Posts: 3852 | Registered: Feb 2002

All right, I know this is a very early planning stage, but how much of a trip would be possible in 3 weeks? I mean, Ak's idea is great, but I doubt I'd have enough time for that... So I might be limited to the east and mid-east? Or not?
<-- knows nothing about travelling and distances and such

I imagine it would depend most on how long you spent at each stop. The trip in itself, I'm pretty sure, could be done in a few weeks.

Why don't we (all of us interested in taking a leg) post our city and state. Or at least the nearest (within, say, 30 miles) city/town. Then, I'll plot them all on a map, and see what we've got. What think you?

Hey - we're forgetting that we're talking about the middle of summer. A poor unsuspecting European girl does not need to be thrust into the heat of a summer in the south. (blech!) I suggest we keep her entirely within the rocky mountain states and the pacific northwest. It's the least we can do. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

Quit tryin' to be stingy with the Kama, Annie. There IS such thing as air conditioning, ya know?

You could make it coast to coast and back in three weeks if you wanted to spend the whole time driving.
Assuming that you only want to drive, say, 4-8 hours per day and only drive every other day, you could still zig-zag across the country, just not back again.

NYC to Jexx in SW New York to Indiana (Celia, Hobbes) to Chicago(Banna OJ) to Madison (Tom, Christy & CT) to Iowa (me) to Kansas(Farmgirl) to Tulsa (Boon) to Texas (Bob) and then across the south and up the coast to wind up back in New York.

And there're a lot more people in Indiana than just celia and hobbes. I could make it up to Bloomington, at least, if you stopped by there.

Go a little bit more South than NYC. There are plenty of Jatros in Jersey, Penn, Maryland, and around DC I'm sure.
