Well all booked.....flights, car and hotel.
Air show tickets don't go on sale until March,not a worry....
So got a week in Reno at the races then onto Lake Tahoe for a couple of chill out days then back home.



Can't wait.... :) :)

Been twice - 2001 when it was grounded by the Sept 11th events & 2007 when it was marred by accidents. T'Wife says I can't go again as I'm obviously bad luck !

What do you want to know ? Two visits doesn't make me any kind of expert, but happy to assist if I can.

Regards,
