Conveyors,

Just received word that the Nismo Fiesta "Twisted Sisters" cruise will depart the from the hotel at 10:30a sharp.

So the question I have is; Do we want to condo up Friday 13th the day before and spend the night in SA? Or depart from Sam's Club at 6:00am, arrive at the hotel and than continue with the cruise.

Personally, I'm tossed up on arriving Firday or skipping the "Twisted Sisters" cruise. I rather not leave early Saturday morning.

Please let me know what your thoughts are. THANKS!!!

Rober_K, ZCoH

FWIW-If you've never done the Twisted Sisters this is a must. This is as close to the Tail of the Dragon as you are going to get anywhere in the Southwest.
