I am so happy that five of my favorite PPBBS Posters have responded to my thread already. It would be my honor to meet any and all of you during our trip. Especially Superman, since he's a Poopy Head. Nota, Tevake, 944 and AB, if there's any way to work a meet with you guys into the trip, I'm all over it like a Midwesterner hitting the Pacific beach for the first time. 944, since you're in Ohio these days, I'd love to meet you, but keep your focus on the midterm primaries. The country is counting on you,
The basic question seems to be boiling down to whether we can spend 6 days in the San Juans and other islands withing ferry distance without getting bored, or whether we should split our time and do the first day or two in downtown Seattle doing stereotypical tourist things, some time in the San Juans, and still have time to drive into the Cascades, or whether we're better off picking two of our three goals?
