Barney Eaton Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Flying in from Texas, hopefully Hertz will have a Buick waiting for me.I fly into Providence for several reasons, I hate the tunnel between Boston and the airport.Providence is far less crowded, and by Texas standards Providence to Danvers,is just "down the road" . We also have some visiting to do.See you in about 4 weeks...... presently we are in Indiana on our way to the Ohio BDE tour.

38Buick 80C Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I will be there along with my father, Ed. For my dad this will be his first national since Richmond in 2000 (11 years) and his 17th overall. For me this will be the 24th National Meet I attend. We are a driving up in the Enclave and will arrive Tuesday night. We will have 2012 National Meet information, registration forms. shirts for sale, etc. The table will be manned by members of the 2012 exec team and the Cabarrus County CVB from Wednesday Morning to Sat Mid day.Unfortunately my wife and son will miss out again this year, but they'll be at 2012 of course.

jscheib Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 TRAFFIC ALERT for those using I-84 in CT.i am not sure if I should start a new thread, but maybe I will do that when we have more information. Due to budget probems, the State of Connecticut will be closing the east bound rest area near Exit 69 as of July 1. So far this seems to be just the one headed east, but others will likely close also some time later. There is a bit of an uproar so this may change. There is a "commercial" truck stop nearby, I believe Exit 72, if you realy need to stop. However, I think you are all aware that CT has probably the most expensive gasoline tax in the country. If you can extend your travel (about 1/2 hour or 25 miles) , there is a rest stop in Charlton, MA just after I-84 merges with the MA Turnpike. We would love to have you buy gas in CT to help save us locals some tax revenue, but I feel bound to advise my Buick friends not to plan on gas purchase in this state. The MA Turnpike features several fast food options, as well as fuel and easy parking for trailers if that is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sintid58 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 We will be there, not arriving until the 7th. Leaving home on the 3rd and taking our time touring on the way out, going up through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine with the 70 Riviera. We have a couple special night stops planned, one is Light on the lake near North East PA and the other is The a night at the Tidewater Hotel in Vinelhaven Me, so we are making a long trip of it. Hope drop down to Rhode Island on the way home then take old hwy 30 across Pa on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 John, and others. Lamar will be organizing the details. I offered to do the site arrangement because I am closer. I am trying to get the hotel to get back to me with details and cost for a private room breakfast, much like we did in Ames, but they are a bit slow. I have another off-site option if this does not gel, or is deemed too expensive. It will be Friday morning.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckfmtexas Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Dianne and I will be bringing the 1932 Model 67 Buick from Texas since our son and family live in Winchester, MA which is 15 minutes from Danvers. This is a great opportunity to see family and car friends all in one trip. Got lots of great advice from my post on best route to take from Texas so we are planning the trip for comfort and minimum strain on the Buick in the trailer and diesel pickup.We arrive in Winchester on the 3rd, celebrate the 4th with family and then show up Tuesday the 5th in Danvers.Look forward to see ya'll Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigDogDaddy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Mr. Earl, I thought you might get a kick out of this story. My wife is from Mass, down near the Cape. We had stopped by where she worked, and some of the young guys had invited us to go hangout with them. Except his words were, " We're gonna get togehter and go Potty. Meaning they were going to go Party. I said " No thanks, sounds kinda personal to me ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only Buicks Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Will be there with my wife and my baby, arrive on Wed and will be there thru Sunday morning. I grew up in the area, so I already know the lingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigDogDaddy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I will probably be going, and I am hoping to bring my '40 Limited. Unforunately that security system is no longer with us. I stll have one more just like him who turned 10 in April. But he won't be making the trip. I plan to stay at my sister in laws in Haverhill, and her kittes do NOT like dogs, and my dog will not tolerate being harrased by the kitties ! hee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
