[Jim-Lynn]

Bob & Christine; Lynn & I plan of attending the Canadian rally the on to Goshen from there. Will book in March.

Happy Travels

 

[rfournelle]

Great! Looking forward to meeting both of you.

 

[asherwin]

Kim and I will be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Currently counting down the days until we leave for Myrtle Beach to pick up the Kimberlodge and head to Florida.

 

[rfournelle]

It will be nice to see you guys again.

Safe travels to Florida.

 

[JonV]

I'm afraid we won't be able to attend this year Bob. We're planning on being in the Maritime Provinces during the time of the rally in McGregor. Safe travels all.

 

[rfournelle]

Too bad Jon, we'll miss you. Will we see you in Goshen?

 

[JonV]

We'll still be in the Maritimes. Another catch is that we use up virtually all of our 182 days in the U.S. during the winter. (Neither of us are fond of cold weather any more.)

hi bob. we will be attending ontario rally, but unfortunately not able to attend pre-rally. we will have to come home for 5 days and then drive to goshen. for the benefit of anyone having to do the same as us i have arranged with the park owners to store our rig there for the 5 days so we dont have to haul it home. valerie said anyone else in same situation can store it there to. the cost is $5 per day and it can be left plugged in for the fridge etc..

in followup to above if you would like to store your rig at wildwood like us its best to contact valerie and let her know asap.

Current plans puts us in the Maritimes and Newfoundland this June and July thus we will miss both the Ontario and national rally's in 2015. Wishing safe travels to all

That's great Mike. Thank you for making these arrangements. Hopefully some other members wanting to go to both the Ontario Chapter and Goshen rallies, but not being able to attend the Goshen pre-rally, can use this option.

Charlie & Jane

We visited PEI, NB & NS last August (missed Newfoundland but included Maine) and had a good time.

We will miss you at the Ontario & Goshen rallies. By the way, a number of Ontario members are planning to attend the NY chapter rally in Verona, Aug. 21st - 23rd. Perhaps you can join us there.

Have a great trip.

 

[asherwin]

Starting to get excited about the Ontario Rally. Waiting impatiently for March 1st to make reservations. How many are planning to arrive a day early and/or stay a day extra? We are also planning to go to the Goshen pre-rally and would be interested in travelling as a group. Thoughts?

 

[Jim-Lynn]

Alan & Kim
We are planning on getting to McGregor on the 4th, afternoon, and will be staying till the morning of the 8th. We will be leaving the trailer there, heading home for 3 days. Back to McGregor on the 11th, get the trailer and on to Goshen for the pre rally. I am not sure if this helps you or not. We are looking forward to Ontario rally as well & getting to meet new friends.
Jim

 

[rfournelle]

Great to see that March 1[SUP]st[/SUP] is just around the corner! Although we are in the preliminary stage of planning the Ontario Rally, we intend to arrive on Wednesday, June 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and are looking at holding an “Early Arrivals Dinner” on Thursday the 4[SUP]th[/SUP]. For those heading to Goshen and planning to stay an extra day (or 2) in Wildwood, we again will be hosting a BBQ on Sunday evening. This is a great opportunity for members to use up any fruits/veggies prior to crossing the border.

Caravanning to Goshen? For those interested in doing so, sounds like a plan. Al & Kim – are you up to coordinating this?

FYI - We are making a slight detour on our way to Goshen. We are making a stop in Frankenmuth, MI at Bronner’s Christmas Store so we will be taking a different route.

We'll be putting up a draft agenda in this thread shortly.

 

[Jim-Lynn]

Bob;
Depending on when you are planning on leaving Wildwood, we are flexible & I know Lynn loves Frankenmuth so we would be up to going there. If Al & Kim, "volunteer" just let us know what the majority would like & we can move plans around.

Jim

 

[asherwin]

We would be pleased to "volunteer". Our current plan sees us arriving at Wildwood early on the 5th and leaving for Goshen on the 9th. The drive between the two is fairly short at 3-4 hours (depending on time to cross border, duty free, pee breaks etc).
