Reviving because we are talking again about this trip in May 2011. Looking forward to going. Especially with the warmer weather we've had the last couple days is giving me spring fever and we haven't even gotten into all out winter. Ugh.
Looks like I will have another female to chat with, although she will be riding on the back of her boyfriend's bike. Guess they have been all over so she is a seasoned passenger.

I can't wait!

Oh, how was the Iron Maiden tour - for those that were going to go? Ha.

You've got the bug now! :D

I take a two week trip every July, and I start planning for the next one in August, so I know exactly how you feel!

This year I'm taking 4 weeks to go to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska on the Arctic Ocean. This one has been in the planning stages for 7 years. It's time.

I hope you have a great time on your trip! If you don't have purpose made rain gear, you might want to consider it. It's amazing how much of a difference not getting wet in the rain makes to your overall enjoyment of a ride. LOL
