well, if you can move Detroit to the east coast before the spring, we'll be happy to herf with you.
[Reply]

If I have a solid date,I will try to host a herf for you guys :-)
[Reply]

It's on the way to Las Vegas :-)
[Reply]

Don I will drive to MA so you can take NJ out of the loop.
[Reply]

This is looking like a great time.

I don't really have recommendations for ya, cause it sounds like you've already got a lot on your plate. However, I can reduce the load a bit. By the time you make it to the States, I'll be up in Virginia. So, I can link up with what VA herf you plan and meet you guys there. If I can get a babysitter, maybe I'll even bring the wif.

No way Al, the highlight of the trip will be the skinny dipping in your pool :-)
[Reply]

Let me see what I can do:-) Might be tough:-)
[Reply]

Simon and I took a map of the US and set out a little route. Al, you are off the hook, we decided to skip NJ as you are coming to MA anyway, so no skinny dipping :-)

the plans are:
fly to Orlando, hook up with Ucubed & S0lefule as they will accompany us during our American trip, herf a bit in Orlando and drive to keys next day to visit Madurofan & The Big Island smokeshop, then back to Miami and party. Next day visit Little Havana and herf with the local crew (and whoever wants to join, tampa crew?). Then it is off to Alabama, Ft Rucker to visit av8tor and taste some of the beef jerky he makes. Next on the agenda is a massive SC herf, we will try to arrange that we are in SC on a saturday so everybody can come (norther florida guys, georgia guys, SC and NC guys, maybe even some VA guys). After that we will visit Fayetteville, NC to fill Tobii's humidors :-). Washington DC and Maryland are for the next day. Then it is off to see Shilala's workshop in the woods of Pennsylvania before we drive up to Rochester NY to bomb Conch, DBall & Ambientboy :-) last day of the east coast tour will be in Mass for a nice herf with the MassHoles @ Bao's windmill.

Then it's of to Las Vegas (yeah, not a roadtrip, we will fly) for some exitement. Booze, stripclubs, gambling and herfing.

when you get dates locked in let me know......
[Reply]

we will probably arrive the 2nd or the 3rd week of may
[Reply]

I'm in for the central Florida herf... can't wait!!!
[Reply]

This trip sounds like loads of fun, If Shilala has room for an extra person I'm in :-)
[Reply]

So i'm thinking i will make the trip for NY and Ma, since its all with in driving distance and also Vegas sounds petty tempting, Andy you said theres floor space at your place right? Keep me in the loop!
[Reply]

Let me know when ya'll are going to be in South Carolina so I can make the trip up there too.
[Reply]

If Scott doesn't have the space, we will find a place to herf somewhere close where there is room for one (or more, guess there will be more botl's in PA) more.
[Reply]

Cigarcop,

Keep me in the loop, I may be able to plan a trip down your way in around that time and meet up with our visitor:-)

Our place is little but we have a nice smoking space on the back porch.
So far as my "shop" goes, it's just a 16'x12' shed full of tools. :-) It's not very dramatic but it works. :-) Add to that I live in town and "my shop in the woods" isn't at all "a shop in the woods".
If for some reason the weather is crappy or whatever there's a bar just a block away and I saw a sign yesterday that says they're still allowed to smoke in there.
I could talk to them about hosting a herf there and see if it's cool. Let me know if that sounds kosher.
We can certainly eat and entertain here, but we don't smoke in the house. That's why we built the porch.
Kerri and I would love to have all of you. It'd be our pleasure. :-)

That is solid advice especially comming from Albert
