Probably arriving late lunchtime/early afternoon. Won't be there by noon.

Also, anyone want a pickup from the airport? I'm pulling an NFFC and will be sending a beautiful woman in a luxury vehicle to collect you.

>looking good

Yeah, this spring has been weird along the coast. Came a month early but stayed wet. Then went back to chilly. Now warming up.

Just found this weather site yesterday. I *really* like the UI (scroll down).  Easy drop-down for F.mph/C.kmh.  I've set lon-lat for downtown Wilm, ready to bookmark.

Dras, we're not getting in until around ~9:40pm.  Would it be OK to take you up on that offer?

 :)  Thanks Dras.  RC said that he's going to be coordinating airport pickups.  So, maybe whoever is the biggest night owl?

>coordinating

Well, 'coordinating' is such a strong word, hhh.  And besides, I'm just the frontman for Louise.  

Go for it, Dras and/or we'll map out some sort of plan in Wilmington on Friday.

Some. To tell the truth, not many were taken of the group.  Travoli was doing a photoshoot of the area since he owns the domains involved. There's plans for a photo-dump once he gets back.

Sorry you missed it, Torben. We sent you something via Rumbas.

Thank you.  I had a great time.  It was very nice to see everyone again and to meet some new people.  The Southern hospitality was amazing.  Thank you RC & Louise for all the planning, thank you Travis for taking us on some fun adventures and helping to make the Brits more manly.

Here are a few. The gist of it basically.
Title: Re: Plans for Wilmington
Post by: rcjordan on April 27, 2017, 11:25:01 AM
>gist

Well, yeah, except maybe add more food. 

The hotel was the best USA Islington we've found to date.  They let us have our private-ish corner of the lobby and left us alone --except to periodically wade in and clean up the empties. And the business conversation was top-notch. I fielded a couple of good, known-to-th3core resources for selling my remaining domain inventory. (Travoli has first option.)
