Nrthwnd Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Got my passport renewed, yesterday. All told, it took nearly an hour of (mostly) waiting and then processing it. And it will be sent to me in a couple of weeks. A ten year passport! Man, I''l be 74 by the time I have to renew again. But I'll have a new passport soon!

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 It only takes two weeks to get a Canadian passport? Damn, is there anything you don't do better than the U.S.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 ^ Disney theme parks. Got my and Bert's Coastermania! tickets an hour ago. Felt really good to FINALLY buy them, and get them printed up. Can't wait! It was like winning the lottery, on getting those CM! tickets... FINALLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 ^ Disney theme parks. Touché. And I'm glad you got your Coastermania tickets. Sounds like they're pretty much repeating what they did last year, which is a very good thing. You'll have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 ^ I believe that between Bert and myself, both first timers there, one of us will have to be calm, to keep the other from having a Happiness Overdose FIT, lol! and I have the feeling that it's going to be me. I'll be the one driving the rental car from Cleveland, so I have to keep myself calm enough, to drive around most of the park, including Mean Streak, to the hotel, without crossing the road and diving into the water! And Bert will be responsible (Bert, take note?) for taking a LOT of photos... on approach to and driving around the park. ...And of Famous Dave's of COURSE! ***We "also" have up to and over FOUR HOURS (lunch, buy stuff for hotel and...?) to get to Hotel Breakers, before check in.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sweet! That'll give you a ton of time. Took me about 4 hours to go all the way across the state, from Kings Island. Looking forward to the trip report! I'll be at Holiday World that day riding the hell out of Wildebeest with my family at Holiwood Nights. It'll be their first enthusiast event--I've done all the rest solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 ^ I got most of my credits overseas, on about nine years of TPR Tours (2006-2014). Europe and Asia, and Mexico. Which makes getting credits in the USA soooo easy, lol. My #700 - and it was in the USA! And Ghostrider was awesome! (I have had a different country for each Milestone Coaster, too.)

JJLehto Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Got an "A" on my last class, and thus far am on track for another, which will wrap up my first year of grad school on a good note, I'm really getting my footing after some struggles at first. I have rediscovered coasters after a 2 year hiatus, the happiest news of all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparkes92 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I got a job that I really wanted! The only downside is that I'll be moving four hours, but on the plus side, that will put me four hours closer to Cedar Point and within driving distance of several more theme parks!
