[T3] Type 34 Karmann Ghia Road trip to Las Vegas...

[topnotch at nycap.rr.com]

Oh NO! JIM! the Smart Phone! you were one of my only last hold outs!

OK, time to fess up a bit, I got and Apple for work and now that im in
London for 2 weeks
ive had some of the time to noodle with it and yea, it has its uses
but im still not that person constantly holding and poking it. Made it
all the way to Dave and Anne's without pulling it out once!

For safety and long trips though, its a good idea and im sure your
Daughter feels alot better
being able to follow you along. Need you to stay safe and fit for the
drive out to Eau Claire next summer!

 Turns out that I'm also "On the Road." I had to prove to myself and
my
 daughter that I'm still capable of long drives by myself, so I
accepted an
 invitation to visit some friends who live near the upper west coast
of
 Michigan. Turns out that they have come down with sore throats, so
I'm
 currently in a motel in Traverse City, MI.

 Let me know if there are any other Type 3ers in this area. I'll be
here for 2-3
 days.

 So far, so good. I finally bought a smart phone and, with the help of
a lot of
 good friends and family, I'm learning my way thru my "beginner's
license."

 I came the long way, up to the U.P. and over the top and down the
Macinac
 Bridge. I'll go back the same way in a few days. I've been here once
before,
 but that was with my parents, probably in 1958, just after the bridge
was
 finished in late 1957. The view from the top of the span is quite
impressive.

is running great. Got 26.5 mpg on the first tank full. Such a fun and
easy car to drive.
