    Geez, I thought I posted that I'm happy that I at least can say I "know" HALF of my class...*LOL*
    icecube, funny how it seems to organize everything! But I guess the first time's the hardest, after that it's just tweaking what ya pack (or don't).

    My phone still hates me. I tried to suggest that it's a bit difficult knowing what to pack first time around...

    $1300??? I wanna hang with YOU!! LOL actually, I'm trying to NOT spend a lot of money...I live about 75 miles away, so my requirements will be a tank of gas, food/drink and licensing fee at the end of class...tuition and lodging are taken care of already, as is my passport. A couple/few hundred should be more than enough to cover what i NEED and a purchase or two of "I want!!"

    Travelers checks or a VISA card would be good, as well...at least if it gets lost/stolen, there is some security.

    Gotcha. That's one of the reasons I'm glad the terminal is close to home...easier on the bank account.

    Almost time to leave...2 more full days between 'Here and there.' Once the trip starts, it's time to prove ourselves, at least to ourselves. I have very few doubts in my ability to handle the truck and trailer. My concerns center more around HOS and Qualcomm.
    What about the others starting on the 9th? What concerns/fears do you have? How do you feel (typical woman wanting to talk about feelings!!) about the fact that once you head out the door, most likely your routine will be absolutely screwed beyond recognition, unless you've been OTR before?
    Yep, i'm bored again, sorry.
