Please make that call this coming week and register at the hotel !
So far Chris, & Karyn , Connie & I and you ......also assume the Gallo's and others too.
Kewl. That's what I was waiting for.

A few years ago the Wednesday arrivals went to a nice place for dinner & Bill Drayer went home with a pile of scallops ~
Boy I wish The border would open ... they are starting a bit late but over 70’s will be given a shot in the arm next week. So we can keep hoping.
I got my 1st shot Tuesday, scheduled for second on April 13.
Has anyone considered going to Florida to help Wolfgang?
Got my 1st shot last evening , was good until this afternoon, sore arm and feeling like mild flu and body aches.
Got my first shot earlier today. Feel fine except for a sore arm, which is actually a good sign. Carlisle is about a month after my second shot, so I'll be good to go.
In NY state, you need to be 60 plus for a vaccine at this time. I may be able to get an unused shot from a missed appointment, working on that angle. They could drop the age soon though and then I'm good. If they drop it low enough, Michelle can get one too LOL!
I called the hotel late this afternoon, but Charity had left. I'll call her again on Monday and reserve our room.
I'm planning on rolling in Wednesday. My wife has got a shot. I'm hoping to get my first one in early April.
Helpful hit: Tell them you have a pre existing condition a heart murmur and you'll get moved up for an appointment date and time.
They dropped the age in SC from 65 (which I am just shy of) to 55 on the 8th. Until a few days ago I couldn't find a single place in all of SC with appointments.
@Alan Merklin - Do I need to talk to Charity (and wait until Monday) or can I just call tomorrow?

Yeah, I can't(won't) do that. It's not in my DNA.
I just heard an md from John Hopkins who is into immunology who suggested you wait nearly 3 months to get the second shot to get the best immunity... studies will have to be done but as a rule with normal vaccines being a bit late is always better for long term immunity... just saying
Seems they are changing information to suit needs. In the US, the FDA approved it based on two shots 3 weeks apart. I heard the same about pushing out the second shot so more people have some immunity versus less people with more. The equation was, 100 people in a house and you have 100 shots. Is it safer to have 50 people with 95% immunity (47 people safe) or 100 people with 75% immunity (75 people). Who knows if it's crap but with limited doses, it sounds like moving the goal post.
They are doing the same with schools. 6' distance until a few weeks ago, now 3 feet is safe. Schools simply don't have the sq. footage to do 6' and return all kids.
Not saying not true, just saying.
IMHO I would wait until Monday through Friday who knows how informed the weekend front desk crew is.

Do tell!
I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you!
Over 65 crowd is more apt to die from CV-19 so they are priority in many states. That makes sense vs giving to younger folks who have far less chance of dying should they get iCV-19. For once I have a winning ticket. FL has opened up shots for those under 65 now too.
My wife and I spent January and February in Florida. We could have gotten our 1st shots there but couldn't get 2nds at home so we waited. Once home I registered with my county and received an appointment for April 24. That's two months after we got home.
Then we got a letter from our primary care physician's mega practice. I registered, received a response 3 days later and had an appointment 5 days after that.
My point, don't wait for the state, county or local municipalities. You have to take action. Sure eventually you'll get it but do you want to wait. I didn't. I live in the worst county in Maryland. AND, I wanted to come to Carlisle.
So Wolfgang are you coming and bringing your speedster?
I work in a bike shop. The great state of North Carolina puts us under the same heading as transportation which makes us essential.
Most of us got our shots last week, then they ran out of them. I got the one and done. I signed up on line and the shot was given in a drive through and surprisingly fast and organized.
Most of us had some kind of reaction, fever, aches etc. I just got a little achy for part of a day. I got mine late in the day and everyone else got them in the morning. That might of helped??? Of course, I'm the oldest of our crew.
@PCH posted:So Wolfgang are you coming and bringing your speedster?
Bring it Greg I'll finish it in late summer / early fall.
We're neighbors-ish. PG? Montgomery?
Southern PG. The practice is MedStar. And you?
Where in AA? I'm taking my speedster to Stevensville on Monday for r&r stuff. Keep an eye peeled.
"My Speedster"? I thought you shared it with Glenn?
The title is in my name. The finances are also mine. It is mostly his blood, sweat and tears.🤗
PCH, I didn't know you by your handle but someone told me. We've met 
I'm getting older Chris........
Where and when did we meet. I am assuming Carlisle. Paul
~ Carlisle 2021 Update ~ My wife Connie has stepped up and is working on possibly checking off yet another last minute check box for Carlisle , we're not sure if we can get this done tomorrow Monday, before we head out for ten days of warm sun on Tuesday. If not, we'll post after April 1st...In the mean time,.....CALL the Hotel and reserve your rooms ... ASAP.

You are correct, Sir. A few times.
Done! Carey assures me the the car will be there - actually probably here before then. See y'all in May!
Oh, and I'll be arriving on Wednesday because I don't have anything else to do.

Well this is way cool beans Lane !
Great news, Lane!
A few photos for those of us who can't get to Carlisle this year, por favor...
Well, @Lane Anderson..... That's the best thing I've heard all day!
Looks like the Bimmer will be outside in the SC elements, again, and rightfully so.

Nope on that last bit. Remember that extra garage I had built a few years back?
No, but it's been far too long since I visited "la Casa de Lane y Pam". I guess we're overdue but were just looking at trying to hit HHI and Beaufort this year. We've tried a few times, but each time got over-ruled by a Hurricane.

Bob, I'll smuggle you in the enclosed trailer.
Good news, Lane!
I made our reservation for two today.
Is anyone else from the southeast heading up to Carlisle? Caravan, anyone?
