There is a planned quick breakfast break on the way there & a supper break on the way back both at restaurants. Drive through for breakfasts. I'd like help driving especially on the way back. We have choice of cars, one is very comfy but more expensive on gas & the other less comfy but better on gas. We will discuss this if you come. I will leave my dog at home if you are allergic.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $232.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, November 21, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
