I thought i was going to be on the Don Juan, but ALAS I have made it to the Integrity!
Now we can sit back and
Sit back? I'm now in the mode of making travel arrangements to pick up my Clubman in NY. I live in Phoenix but am planning a long, leisurely (and twisty) 10 day trip back to Phoenix - not using any freeways if I can help it. I've had several long conversations with the Service Manager at my MINI dealer here in Arizona. He's assured me that a long trip like this is fine for my Clubman as long as I follow a few guidelines...
So, I'm off to google maps to do the planning and will be posting the route on NAM in case anyone has any suggestions as to "must see/stop" locations along the way. I plan to update my blog daily, with info and pictures along the way. I wonder how many fellow MINI owners I'll be able to meet and take photos with along the way?
That said, YES - it is comforting to know that our MINIs have their tickets for the boat ride and will soon be here in the US!

The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the premier drives in the USA and that will lead you to the "Tail of the Dragon" You can google for more info.

My parents and brother live just South of Charlotte and I'd be drawn and quartered if I didn't stop by and show them my new car. I grew up in NC and until now, have never heard of "Tail of the Dragon". You can be certain I'll be heading toward Asheville and the "Tail" when I leave my parents!
Well, here we are - 7 days and counting! I've noticed that the ship is making good progress and has been updating frequently... So far, the weather ahead of the ship looks good!

Did some research on the Tail of the Dragon, looks like an awesome road. Something like 80 turns in 11 miles. The downer is that they changed the speed limit from 50 to 30 and its crawling with cops.
