VagabondVW - Randy and Samantha are coffee lovers. Just can't get going in the morning without 2 or 3 cups (big mugs) full. Regular coffee for us. Anyone need chemicals for their coffee? Coffee mate or sweet and low, I will have an abundant supply. By the way, do we have an approximate count for Friday night potluck so we know how much food to bring? Thanks.

According to my spread sheet on the rally, we have 38 Adults, one 16 year old, and five children under 6.
I've been fooling around on the computer, and grabbed the logo from an earlier post, and printed it on bumper sticker paper. The resulting stickers are free for anyone who wants one for their trailer. Or notebook or car. I have 18 of them (well, 17 because I took one) but I can print a few extra if necessary. They could be trimmed round, I just left them square. st

I checked the 10 day forecast this morning for Cape Girardeau. There is a 40% chance for scattered T-storms Thur-Sat, and 60% on Sunday. I guess 40% is better than 70%. Besides, I have never been at a rally that it rained the entire time. Add that to the fact that we get the recreation center now, and we should be good to go. Maybe this is befitting since it was raining when the main caravan arrived in Cape Town to begin the journey.
All orders for the Africa T-shirt, and either coffee mug are due by 0800 tomorrow morning. This is when the screen printer will be doing the shirts and mugs. I don't think we will have any more, but I want to offer it one last time. Current orders are below...

Little did I know that having a travel trailer to attend the rally, at least one that is actually able to be pulled, was NOT a requirement. I'd been communicating with Steve about a few other different things and he said even though our trailer was not able to travel, we could still come as day trippers on Saturday or stay at a hotel. WOO - HOO! We're making a road trip and we'll be there on Saturday. I can't wait to meet everyone. I am so excited as I've been so impatient for next year to come so we could actually go on a rally that it never occured to me to just crash with a photo of our trailer and promise to bring it out when it's ready!
Looking forward to meeting everyone!!!!
Tina and Mike Nelson and daughter Leah (she's 15 an NOT at all sure about this TT thing. It's new for us and we keep telling her how WONDERFUL it will be - teenagers...)
If you read the itinerary I sent out in the welcome letter you see that I was wanting to plan a dinner out on the town Thursday evening. I requested people let me know by the 9th, and so far have only our trailer, and one other trailer signed up for that. I planned to have dinner around 6pm, but we could have a little flexibility depending on arrival times.
After dinner it is back to Shawnee park, and we will have our fire dancer (Propane camp fire) for us to sit around, and tell some stories.
So...if anyone is interested out of the other 18 trailers set to attend the rally, let me know please.
I missed that somehow. We are open to whatever, dinner out on the town is fine with us. We will be there midafternoon at the latest so I guess you can count us in.

My family is really looking forward to our first caravan and rally. We're new to the Airstreaming, I know it will be fun, Steve has worked tirelessly on this event.
Among the many reasons our family has a camper is the fact that our two daughters, 2 and 4, have an unknown blood disorder. What this means for the girls is since birth is they have a reduced immune system (for all of the medical savvy their ANC is zero). To all of us this means in their blood they do not carry the neutrofils to fight off infection. So the reason I bring this up is they should not be exposed to viruses or bacteria. We are extremely careful with them around people. So, if you're not feeling well, runny nose, fever etc. please allow yourself a little room around the girls.
They look and act perfectly healthy for which they are, but a virus and fever above 101.5 means a trip to the ER and possibly many needle pricks (which no one likes).
Please do not take offence to this or if we keep them a little more sheltered than most parents do but, right now we are extremely cautious going into sick season.
Having an Airstream allows us to travel in our own germs and use our own potty on the road while eating food we know who prepared it. This is great peace of mind. Not to mention the fact it looks cool!
We all look forward to meeting everyone at the rally.
