THE PARTY IS ON !

Transportation is covered by me, so no worries.   

Didn't you already have 5 people in your car Pieter? Still a long drive from Charles de Gaulles to Le mans with 6 peops in one car!!!

...4 outstanding citizens, nice fotos Mike.

Those shots must have come from the FBI's Wanted website.

I spoke with American Airlines, and I can use my miles to get to Paris on Monday the 12th, arriving at 7:35 AM.  I know I could get a train to Le Mans, but is anybody going through Paris about that time?  Or, can somebody collect me at the Le Mans train station Monday afternoon.  Remember, I am an American that does not speak the language! (french that is, I'm pretty good with english!) My ultimate goal is to meet up with the Team Impala group ASAP as I'm hoping to document this adventure for future release.

thanks and open to suggestions.

John,

Great to hear we'll be partying together again very soon. If you get a chance give me a call on the landline- I've got some pointer regarding Paris DeGaulle that I think you should be aware of.


31 Days and a wake-up!

Pieter,
What time will we be leaving your place on Monday Morning?   

[Pieter]

Julian will be driving as well, so we have enough seats available. We'll be going early in the morning (about 6 AM).

Just show yer ticket or a map of the circuit to the driver, I am sure that even without speaking french he might catch on! 

Or speak louder. 

LOL   

[gab]

He doesn't speak french!!

...come on now Rick, the taxi driver probably also speaks no French. Whatever happened to good old hand language or as Fran suggests just show the driver a map.

You know we could give you guys a real treat and show you how we Americans drive the A  and you could sit back and relax

[Pieter]

drive the A

What's that?

[Paddy_NL]

automatic gearbox?

Not to worry about the language thing.  Three years ago our family did a home exchange in France,  My daughter Hayley speaks french fluently, and she discovered that I am fluent in "franglais". Which is where I speak english with a very cheesy french accent, loudly, throw the few french words I do know in at awkwardly and sometimes inaapropriate times. "Qu'est-ce que c'est? Ahh.... Oui!"  and provide just one more reason for the world to hate americans!

Thank you all for your offers of help.  I'm going to try and sort this all out this week and next.

That should work cause that has got to be one BIG shopping cart.

[Paddy_NL]

all stuff you bring from the US can go with the truck if needed Randy, then you guys don't have to cramm everything in the estate...

I'll discuss this with Pieter next weekend, but as Greg invited me to Amsterdam on the sunday of your arrival, then you can also admire the shopping cart.

Don't want to give away the surprise yet, but it will be something different
