  Sounds like a good offer, but I already have one of those non-refundable 
tickets.  Anyway, I think I'll take 5 hours in an airplane to get there versus 
35 hours in a bus.  One 35 hour trip in a week is enough!

  I'm getting my GMC van ready to sell right now to make room for the new van.  
Sparky may still get jealous.

  I thought we were going to drive you up to get it?
  My map says it is only 1871 miles.
  You buy the gas, we will buy our own on the way back.

    I bought a 1987 Vanagon last night.  I had bid on it on EBAY but lost.  
When the winning bidder didn't pay up the seller contacted me.  We finalized 
the deal last night.

    I'm flying to Manchester, NH on November 20 and will be driving 1,927 miles 
back during the Thanksgiving holiday.   I have a cousin in Boston that I 
haven't seen in 20 years that I will be visiting, then off to Texas.

    Northern European Automotive in Concord, NH is servicing the van and 
putting some new tires on before I get there.

    66,000 miles, savannah beige metallic, always parked inside, delivered in 
Germany to a military couple, I'm buying it from the second owners who have had 
it for the last 10 years.

    I feel an adventure coming on.
