riffclown Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 So I've started gathering my things for this trip.. So far I have: lots of kites, lines and accessories 2 boxes of lights for kites 10x10 Canopy for shade laptop and cameras Smaller Umbrella style Canopy if the 10'x10' is too much an open mind and an unreal eagerness to fly. sleep optional... there will also be a few other items will also be making the trip to keep my promises.. Trying to decide on the Bolero Stack and what Power Kites to bring for after hours and Night Flight.. Hey @John Barresi please bring 1 red, 1 white, 1 gray and 1 black of your 1.5 replacement bridles with you.. I'll pay cash on the spot. What's latest from @Bill Clay? any update?? I realize it still a week out but the forecast has been improving as we get closer.. Forecast Captured from weather dot com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I guess I'm also slightly cheaper in person..I'm sure the facade kind of breaks down on close inspection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Gray Pugh Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I spoke to the rental agent for the Corolla rental house. Everyone needs to bring their own soap and shampoo. The check-in time is 4PM. They know that we will be there late so we need to tell the agent who will pick-up the check-in package and around what time. We can give the agent a list of names. I will be there very late. I am picking JB up at RIC at 9:30PM. Please let me know your plans and full names that I can give that info to the agent.
