Thanks for the invite! I used my mapping program to lay out
a route. It would take me 4-5 days (each way), driving 8-9
hours per day to make that drive. I decided I cannot do
that alone. Plus for the additional cost of hotels, meals,
and gas for those extras 8-10 days, I can fly first class
and maybe avoid getting sick. ;-} And Amtrak has a 50 hour
route which would take me via Chicago to Memphis, but no
sleeper rooms available.
So maybe another time, I would dearly love to meet you in
"real space".

ok...... <<sniffle>> I'll try not to be too disappointed.......
<sniffle>

Really, trust me here, I completely understand. My butt lost all
feeling just thinking about that many days in the car non-stop. I'm
not thrilled with flying, but it is a useful thing when you have to go
that far. And if you can swing a first class trip, go for it!
Between all the online booking options, and any points programs you
might have through credit cards, etc, you should be able to find a
good deal on that. If you have an Amex card, look at their website
and see what they can do for you on that. They have some pretty good
travel and point things.
I mean it too, if you decide to cruise out this way, whenever, you are
always welcome. :) (and your little dog too!!! No flying monkeys I
promise.)

My car fits me very well, I would not mind that long a trip
if I were stopping along the way to see interesting places.
However this would be a flat-out run from PDX to Nashville,
no sightseeing on the way either direction.

If I calculate the cost of hotels, gas and meals for 10 days
driving, it would easily cover the cost of a round-trip
first class flight. I'll be taking a close look at that
possibility.

Good idea! I just recently got an AMEX card (through
Costco) and it does pay a pretty generous rebate for travel
expenses.

I am going to go with the rest of the family on the 15th.
There are events planned for the dancers and family members,
but I may not be included in those, so I'm scoping out other
things to do for the first couple of days. Let's see, it's
what about 540 miles from Nashville to your location? Maybe
I'll rent a car and whip on over there.We could have a nice
little slumber party before I head back. And my long-lost
boyfriend from high school lives south of Little Rock....
;-}
Little dog will be staying with my younger DD, they are
testing the suitability of their home and yard in
anticipation of getting a dog. Free dog-sitting, yay!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Both DGD and you deserve many accolades for the
accomplishments.
Glenn Miller and George Gershwin were/are two of my favorite musicians,
other than the old-time Country Music artists. It takes a good trombone to
really get at the heart of their music.
Although I still love visiting Nashville, I used to like going to the Grand
Ole Opry, but not now as much as in the past.
