Hello! I would like to maximize my stay on Emerald Isle since I don't return to California until Sun eve. Would anybody be heading back towards Raleigh/Durham on Sun. and be able to give me a lift? I'll have one backpack and no bike. I'll share cost of gas!
I expect we can probably work something out. I'm arranging for my daughter and a friend of hers to pick me up at Emerald Isle at the end of the ride. I'm planning to get a hotel room for Sat night and drive back to Durham on Sunday. With the price of gas these days, it would be nice to split the cost...
Thanks for responding! My flight leaves at 6:15pm so I guess I would need to be at the airport no later than 4pm. I hope that will work into your plans. My cell number is (805)338-5968 and will have it with me. Otherwise, we can probably communicate via the message boards during the ride and meet.
The timing you suggest would be fine with us. And I've made a reservation at a hotel on the mainland, just across from Emerald Isle. Would you be interested in joining us there for Sat night? We'll be spending most of our time at the beach but want to have comfy beds in which to sleep. Anyway, I'll call you on your cell phone sometime soon to discuss the possibilities.
That might not be a bad idea! I'm looking into camping at the park where we finish but maybe for the last night it would be nice to sleep in a bed that's warm and dry. I'll let you know soon... I'm also interested in visiting the seafood festival that is mentioned. Are you familiar with it?
