Or throw it on a boat for less and risk it ending up a narrow body at destination?

I have a friend who is doing the MM next time, Lufthansa out of JFK, strapped to a giant flat pallet, 12K each way.
Ouch.

>>
>>
>>

>> General Entry and Paddock Passes are unlimited, so you can decide later if

>> campsite. Paddock Passes are optional, but highly recommended.
>>
>>
>>
>> 3) The camping pass is good for one car, 2 people. This gives you a small
>> amount of real estate in the camping area - sufficient for your car and a
>> normal tent. Not for Gordon-Smith MASH hospital sized tents.
>>
>>
>>
>> 4) If you will be roughing it in a hotel, I'd highly suggest you begin
>> looking now. My mom will be attending, and she had tremendous difficulty

>> something organized by the French Pantera Connection - in the past they have
>> reserved a hotel that is 30-40 minutes away from the track or so. If you
>> decide to stay there you can always cancel your own reservation, but be
>> aware that hotel rooms become scarce a very long time before the event
>>
>>
>>
>> 5) I'm browsing the tour guides and Internet looking for inspiration for a
>> theme or something particularly worthwhile for this year and would welcome
>> suggestions, especially from the veterans. This will be the 6th time that
>> Amaya and I spend a week in the Loire, and while it is a fantastic place

>> hours past Le Mans that you'd have to travel. I'd like to explore a new
>> area, but the tour is about people and I'd rather "settle" for hanging out
>> in the Loire Valley with everyone instead of seeing a new area that is too

>>

>>
>> 6) If you are thinking of attending, please reply to this e-mail and I'll
