33 More Days.....
Only 33 more days before I can finally go on vacation and we head out for Chilliwack to pick up. I'm in CA this week, was in DC the previous two, CA the week before. Have trips to NC and two others to deal with before the trip, and still have to find time to get my tow vehicle. I just wanted y'all to know it really helps me tolerate the wait and my heavy workload to be on the forum regularly, to read, post and interact with a great group of folks with a similar interest. Thanks all.

Robert, I found the forum a "leveling" group when I needed it. I thought my hair was going to start on fire before I drove up to pick up Ten Forward. I was so flippin' excited, this group helped me to calm down and realize... it's all good. Breathe, breathe!

We had the same stresses last year before we left, but once we got on the road, the adventure began and all the stress left.

Well, you're going to enjoy your new rig a ton. I think anticipation adds a lot to enjoyment of anything.

Down to less than 2 weeks (13 days) before we head out. And, the forum is still as Donna says, a "leveling influence". Thanks again to the many regulars here who answer my silly questions -- and you know who you are.

Go ahead, rub it in: we've got 24 days, 16 hours and 41 minutes to go. It's like watching the ketchup ever-so-slowly run out of the bottle in that old commercial: anticipation!

Good to see you're not obsessing over it Klaus.

It's not Klaus, it's his computer, that decided to run a countdown clock:

My countdown timer is much shorter than most (but not Robert's ), though I did make it 13 months ago.
Countdown to Jun 16, 2015 6:20 AM in Calgary

I would bet they are, there certainly have been a higher percentage Escape trailers headed south of the 49th, than there were just a couple years ago.

This thread is almost as much fun as It's Friday! How can I not be excited for those folks waiting to take possession of an ETI build. You're waiting... so are we for those pictures with great big smiles.
Safe travels, always!

A factor then only amplified by all the happy American purchasers.

Gee, It seems that, whenever we log off this forum, we should be hearing Roy Rogers & Dale Evans singing "Happy Trails to you, until we meet again; ..."
