"What are you up to this Bank Holiday Weekend, Bert?". "Oh, you know. Lie-in tommorrow, probably sit in the garden and veg-out, James Bond & the World's Strongest Man, is on the box on Sunday. Visit the folks on Monday, and have an early night. What are you up to??". "Well..........................................."

Cancelled again


Cancelled again

Annoyingly. This tour was cancelled, at the eleventh hour. Due to primarily to our producer friends not booking us off work, despite getting four month notice.

The Route

At 5pm (UK time). Thursday April 20th 2006, The Badger, Andy Wheater, Phillis the Weener and barnes will be leaving work for the Airport, flying to New York.

By 8pm (Pacific Time), on Saturday 22th April 2006, they plan to be drinking Frozen Margaritas in the Rio Hotel, Las Vegas.

This assumes.
The Flight lands at 9.30pm (New York time). customs are cleared, the astro van is collected and the wheels are rolling by Midnight.
This allows 44 hours plus 3hours (crossing time zones) total 47 hours.

Mapquest.com says that the 2523.59 mile journey can be done in 38 hours 37 minutes. A modest 65.349 mph. This leaves 8 hours 23 minutes for rest. Or two four hour nights.

These will be Friday 3am until 7am, somewhere in Pennsylvania, and Saturday 1am until 6am, 2 hours east of Denver.
using the spare 11 and a half minutes each day to check-in, at a Super 8 motel.



Roll on

Too many tours, not enough time. It's a lame excuse, but given that we are going to Las Vegas in June, we decided to postpone this tour until later.
Then at the last minute, Phillis & myself went to Las Vegas anyway, for four days. Photos to follow. And yes it's still there.

SOMETHING 4 THE WEEKEND is delayed until later, whenever.
