Headin on down south..

For the first time since, like April, we're going to the US next Saturday for 5 days.

- Sat - Aviation Geek Fest 2010 at Boeing Factory, with VIP tour of factory floor (not viewing gallery). My tweep at the Boeing Factory suggested it when I mentioned planning a visit for Sunday. Heh. Thanks Sandy..
- Sun - Seattle to Portland, probably via Museum of Flight at other Boeing Factory.. see [livejournal.com profile] velithya and [livejournal.com profile] myfyr(!) + twins
- Mon - Portland - maybe catch up with [livejournal.com profile] nightbird
- Tue - Portland
- Wed - Eugene - see [livejournal.com profile] tygati

At least I think this is the plan. Liz is sleeping right now..

Before we go, the Prius needs a service.. the rear left regenerative braking system is squeaking, and it's been 6000kms since the last oil change, and 150,000kms since the last transmission fluid change (normally you either change after ~50k or never change least your clutch plate explode, but apparently not an issue with the continuous variable transmission in the Prius..). Shouldn't be too bad though. This will probably also be the first time the Prius has been to the US, since it spent the first bit of its life as a fleet car for a Canadian telco.

We're going to Eugene on Tuesday because we're driving back up to Vancouver on Wednesday. :P
