Until this incarnation of my career ends, long trips are pretty much out. ((As soon as I finish the novel, of course Oprah will love it and my newspaper days will be numbered ...)) I take my 67 Safari on long weekend trips for mountain or road biking, etc. This spring, I hope to take her and DH on a good two-week tour of the Grand Circle area of the southwest.

She's also not completely restored; I haven't invested the money in getting her plumbing functional (and frankly, dumping seems really gross).

I'm 33.5 years old. Yes, Stella is older than me. I don't have problems finding common ground with people of all age groups, but I don't have kids or grandkids to chat about.

Would it be worth it for me to join the WBCCI? It's $70 a year, right? I'm looking forward to making friends on this forum, who seem like a fantastic bunch. What would club membership do for me?

I'd love your help with this important decision.

Thanks!

Jo,

Your question has been discussed many times here on the Forum. We are members and we think that it is worth it. We have met many wonderful friends, many of our Airstream friends are not on the Forum. If you have a chance come to the International from June 28 to July 4 and visit the Vintage Airstream Club parking area (VAC). If you are not yet a member, you can only visit some areas, the VAC parking is one of them.
