2013 American Invasion of Friends

Yes guys, and gals; we are doing it again…

This note is just to start the thread…

The Dates of the INVASION of FRIENDS are: Thursday, July 18th, through Monday, July 22nd. This includes the Finger Lakes get-together. on the Monday.

So…mark your calendars, and plan for fun in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

This will be fabulous & I’m looking forward to it, Fred! I’ll see you and many others at ECLSTS next month, too! Good times …

Do we still need a passport to get back into USA? I’ve been a little out of contact of late.

YES…YOU NEED A PASSPORT IN ORDER TO GET INTO CANADA, AND, RETURN TO THE USofA.

Some states may offer an enhanced drivers’ licence…but your best bet is to do a bit of research, or just apply for, and purchase a PASSPORT…

It’s NOT, the leaving of a country that requires you to have a passport, it’s getting into the country that requires you to have a passport…even your own country.

DON’T LEAVE IT TO THE LAST MOMENT…do it NOW…

Blame it on Bin Laden & 9/11.

Used to be when life was real, you could cross either way with a wink and a nod.

Them days woz 'way more funner.

Same thing happened back in 1963 in a place called Dallis, TX. Camelot ended that day. The days of the 50’s were now gone forever. Life as we knew it then was to be changed in ways none of us really expected.

Politics… It’s always politics…

We plan to be there. Always a great time.

Fred,

I’m starting to think about travel plans.

Looks like it will be three nights in Ottawa and a couple of nights in Marengo.

What time do things kick off on Thursday?

Don’t forget to plan a diversion to the Port Jervis area on your way home Tuesday :]

Fred,

Whenever you get there…:wink:

Well, that IS the question. Whether I leave Thursday morning, or Wednesday…

Fool him. Show up on Tuesday.

It should be noted, that the Invasion falls on a “Full Moon Rising”, with the Full Moon falling on the 23rd. Ahh, I look forward to the beautiful evenings and then the fear of witnessing the practice requirements for the “full moon dance”.

The “Full Moon Dance” must be held, Ric, rain or shine.

But then, you know that.

Life is full of strange and unsettling things.

Practising my wolf howl then…

It’s held here by the neighbors on summer full moon nights in memory of their dear departed doggie friend.

You’re right, Ric…
