Wish I could, I'm feeling withdrawal pangs from the vanagon community these
days. I need to get back on the road for real!

But at the moment I'm gainfully employed in Madagascar, which is rather too
far to travel to get to Buses by the Beach.  It's too bad, I'd much better
be there!  But that income thing, it does rear it's snake-like head from
time to time, so I can't turn down work!

On the other hand, I do see a fair number of vanagons here in Antananarivo!
A surprising number of double cabs, actually.  And for those partial to
another cool vehicle, most of the taxis here are old deux chevaux!

Subject: Buses by the Beach Bus Benefit May 15-18th, 2008!

Woke up to beautiful sunshine and birds singing here in Indiana this

morning.  Wished I was on the road in a bus headed up to Michigan.

Got to thinking about two weeks from now at Grand Rouge Campground just

outside Grand Rapids, MI.  Will be loading up the Aardvark and JoesVan and

heading up to be with all our bus buddies again.  Always amazed at the great

Volks that gather.  Someone new joins the group every year and much fun is

had by all.  Can't wait to feel that new Buses by the Beach pint glass in my

hand and taste that home brew!

Just wanted to report we are over 30 awesome donated VW themed items and

counting for our raffle which raises money for the Phoenix Society for Burn

Survivors.  Raffle immediately follows the car show on Saturday (right

before the band starts).

PMail me if you have any items you would like donate or for a list of raffle

items.

Who's going to Buses by the Beach in two weeks?
