I just want to tell everyone that is thinking of going to this meet.....DONT!!!!!!!! It is a total waist of time. No one there is friendly. It is in a crappy part of town. Everyone there thinks they are better than everyone else. All everyone wants to do is drink. And play some retarded game called beerpong. And to top it all off.........you get told there are gonna be waffles in the morning and then you have to beg to get them.
j/k
I wish I could go. I highly doubt I am gonna be making this one either. But who knows.

It all depends on our training calender really. I should be on block leave for three weeks after we come back from training and those dates actually fall into it. Just got to save for gas money!

as much as realllly want to go, because last year was such a freakin blast, I dont think I can....
We made the goal to get out of the appartment at the end of the lease and buy a house... that means pinching ever penny we can... which means no road trip to NY.. :(
Hopefully in future years we will be able to go again... but I dont think this year will work....unless someone wants to pay for us !! :>

last years trip put me back about 1600 - 1700 bucks I think.... but we also did the NYC trip, and stayed extra time for that....
without doing NYC again (once was enough for a few years) and driving back in one shot with Shawn, it will be more afforadable... but still would be money better spent buying a home...
Dont worry, you will still see me at the Moncton meet coming up :)

Dan, there are not a lot of Albany meets left. The GA is no longer made and people will move on. There is no telling how long Club ECM is going to be willing to put all the work in to make the event as good as it is.
Cut out the beer and hookers and you should have enough to get the house and camp at the Show and Shine site. :D
Seriously, I hope you can manage to make it this year. I still regret being a wimp and passing up the first year that I heard about it.

Yeah, just because the GA isn't made anymore, that just means we may have more non-GA's. Albany may turn into a GMOC meet with GA's, GP's, and the like.

It's not like the red headed girl working the desk on a Saturday night has a lot of clout...
The people in charge are in the business of renting rooms.We rent rooms. As long as we don't burn the place down or bring in the Albany SWAT team, it's all good.
I'm trying to juggle a conflict, My 30th Wedding Anniversary is on the ninth
And we may go away to some island that week. I’ll keep everyone posted.

Sadly enough they were following me at that point I think. Paul Might have worked his way ahead of me by accident though. Thats the on ramp for I95 and the George Washington Bridge. Its like a big circle kinda and some how we all got on the onramp at the same time but when me and paul were at the top were were looking down at the other three. Aparently they kept getting cut off in one lane of traffic. :lol:

it wasnt one lane, it was two. then once u get around the circle you have people coming onto the ramp from your right and then THEY cut you off. i was literally kissing Joe's rear last year going to ATCO just so no one would cut me off.

The first year I came down I was really unsure of going. I had only been a member for a few months and really there was nothing special about my GA, but I decided to check it out anyway. Now mind you I am not the kind of person that feels comfortable talking to new people or trying to join a crowd, but when I drove into the parking lot I was flagged down and and the people already there made me feel right at home right away. This is a great group of people and I would recommend attending to everyone. I have not missed an Albany meet since, and don't plan on missing one ever.

As of right now, you dont need one to drive over the border, only if you fly into the US do you need a passport... but I belive in 2008 they will be requiring passports to drive as well

There's a lot of Rochester NY people go across for the casino at Niagara Falls and I think that they are requiring (or at least recommend) passports to drive across. I'm not sure, I haven't crossed in years but I hear things on the radio. Check with customs.

This is straight from the Passport canada website:
http://www.ppt.gc.ca/help/faq.aspx?lang=e
Do I need a passport to travel to the United States?
Since January 23, 2007, a new American law requires everyone entering the United States BY AIR to have a valid passport.
Canadians can continue to use such documents as their birth certificates and drivers’ licence to cross the Canada-U.S. border BY LAND AND SEA for at least another year.
For further information, visit the Canadian Border Services Agency’s Web site.

^:agree: You can drive over without one, but if you take a plain, train, or boat you need one. IIRC if your under 21 you need a birth certificate.

See thats just not right. How can you talk about grapes in adirty way and NOT take pictures. Thats like taking a kid to a candy store and telling him he cant have anything. Just not right.

The grapes were from a mysterious trucker that approached the Canadian convoy and asked "ya'll want some grapes" and then proceded to split up a crate of grapes between all of us on the way to Albany.

Yea... that was freakin hilarious... he came to my car first... and we ended up with most of the grapes too since I had an electric cooler in the back seat.... we didnt eat any in the car, but once I got a chance to wash some at the hotel, they were pretty damn good grapes!!
