iSm is a curmudgeon.

Hey, you asked...

Both the Yosemite and Hearst Castle swanking sound great! I'm in! (And if Bill doesn't want to go, I'll go without him!)

One of the best flights I ever had was a non stop flight to Paris that cost less than a flight to Chicago.

Generally I'd drop in on any Yosemite goings on, but since this will be mid-week I might not be able to (that is very near major work activity and taking time off then might not be well advised).

Naww, the Lashpair are west coast whores.

For those considering joining:

We're arriving Yosamite 13 April (whichever lodge you choose, make sure we can park our wheels outside :) )
17th April we drive to San Simeon, park in the San Simeon Creek Campgrounds, and do the Night Tour of Hearst.

That night, we repair to the RV for cocktails, then the following morning we do Tour 3 of Hearst.

Hawaii and Vancouver we will be with Greg's Mother for the duration........

...and in order to "share the goodness" as it were, we were wondering if anyone in the LA / DLR area could accommodate us from 23-26 April ? (we have all accommodation nailed down except for then)

Oh, and for Yosemite you could always grab an RV and join us...

I say we throw a coup and take over the entire valley in the name of Swankdom.

Would one of these be a necessary something for the next Camp Swank?

Seems silly, and appealing at the same time.
