Paul you okay buddy, you seem a bit hot under the collar about this.... Its going to be okay.
Paul,
Your probably a real nice guy and in person you and I may get along real well. However, as pertains to the above quote, I'm sorry but I have to agree. Everything I have read posted by you in this thread seems to be very negative.
I think we all get it, your not the least bit interested in going. Based on your comments that is probably the best for all parties.
Man, lighten up some, let those that want to go and want to have fun go and have what fun they can. If in the end it is a disaster then you can sit back, smile, and gleefully say "I told you so".
In the mean time, we all get it, you do not approve of any aspect of this trip and you believe that every single aspect of it is a total and complete waste and that there will be absolutely nothing but one huge problem after then next and that not one single person on the trip will have any fun at all... We get it, we ALL get it, We all get it over and over. You can stop now.
For my part, I intend to try to do what I can to obtain and prepair a proper MV for the trip and if I am successful in my attempt I intend to go and make the best of whatever happens every day.
No matter what, it will be an adventure. I will meet a lot of people.
It is indeed likely I may not really like a few of them.
It is more likely that the small segment I may not get along with all that well will be vastly outnumbered by those that I do get along with well, probably very well in fact.
It is even more likely that some of the people I meet I will become really good friends with.
And If I am not successful in getting my vehicle ready in time I plan to try to hitch a ride with somebody that has an empty seat and would like some help with gas money.
Or I could just sit on the internet and bitch about how miserable the entire trip will be and try to ruin it for everybody else.
And now, back to the regularly scheduled discussion of all the possibilities and the fun to be had by all...
