I won't be able to, I'm going to Vegas for the weekend. [First time I've ever been disappointed!] If anyone can get pics, that would be great!

RJ, My MA doesn't know yet. The Independence II is scheduled to reach Charleston 4/8. From there, she said give it about 10 days. That puts us on a similar timeline right now! I was guessing around the weekend of the 18th. I plan on taking a couple of days off, too.

Belive me, when I get the call, the door won't hit me in the butt on my way out ...

I'll keep an eye out for Molly Sat.! Meanwhile, my ship left Southampton yest. No position report on sailwx.info yet ...

And, thanks on the sig! My earlier ones looked kinda sad ...

Carolina...I hear Ya!! Our Dealership is just 2 Miles from my Husbands work, we carpool hence the need (did I say NEED??) WANT for Molly to join our Family. So once she arrives we will be able to visit, with camera in hand of course.

Well Gang the Watch Dog (ME!!) has NOT spotted our Beloved TRIANON, Hubby and I did run a few errands, but I'm sure I haven't missed anything. the WW Site has not updated. It is now Night and the best pics. will be from the Miraflores Webcams. I'll be keeping an eye out for sure so hopefully we can all have a nice pic. of the TRIANON to put in our Babies Scarpbook/Photo Albums.

I have Good News and I have Bad News...
The Good News...I think I spotted the TRIANON transcending the Gutan Locks but I'm NOT absolutely positive...there are bad camera angles and lights that make it difficult to see the vessels.
The Bad News is...the WW website has had issues tonight and is looking a bit different maybe I've overloaded it.

Likewise RJ - thanks!

I fully expect someone to find a live cam out around San Clemente Island so we can see it go past on its way up.....

I was at my dealer (Long Beach MINI) a few days ago and my MA said that its been taking a week to 10 days for the cars to get to him after the day the ship docks - even with Long Beach just down the road from Oxnard (Port Hueneme VDC). So, at least in my case, I'm still looking at 4/16 or abouts - DARN!!!

Glad to have you aboard Tigermann...by the way you wouldn't happen to have the website address for San Clemente Island would you??
That's about the guesstamet I have too, Molly should arrive around the 11th I'm guessing...a little bit of TLC at Rasmussen and then HOME!!!

RJK -- The port has had the Trianon listed on the 6th for about 2 weeks now. I just figured they didn't update as often as WW did.

My husband called our MA yesterday, he didn't have any idea the car was coming in to port next week. Said he would look into things and give us a call back.

My MA said to plan on a week or two once it hits the VDC before I can take delivery... More time to obsess over accessories, I guess. Adding a roof rack. Decided with the kiddo and the kiddo's gear, it made more sense to do it now rather than later.

I hear ya Ivygirl702. There was one point where my MA did not give me accurate information either. I guess they are just NOT as OBSESSED as we are with OUR MINIs!!!

AMEN Sister!!!
Yeah...just checked again, the WW sites show 07/04. They'd better unload ALL our MINIS. The TRIANON is headed to Yokohama, Japan (NOT the Tire Co.).

Our MA called my husband today, said we should definitely get Lucy sometime next week, but couldn't give us a date. He will call us when she gets there.
