It would be good if we got an official word about the international in Paterson..
Facebook doesn't count. I don read it and may never again.
We may well have already scrubbed Paterson because of rising fuel cost here and add a lot of expense to that long an excursion.
I am planning to get to more of the Great Laker and other nearby rallies if we can, but we are also looking at a lot of interference from life.

Seems that the convention will probably be cancelled. I think that the major factor being that with Covid restrictions, the max capacity of the convention hall is limited to 75 people.
A nice alternative would be to have a no host rally in Destin Florida for the whole month of May.
Sun, suds, sand, and smokers(the cooking type)!

Destin in May sounds interesting -- providing camping space is available.
Just yesterday, after having the GMC parked for over a year, I cancelled
all of its insurance and put its registration into suspension. I should
have done that in March, as it was an easy, painless process on the USAA
web site. And re-start promises to be just as easy when our vaccinations'
effectiveness has kicked in. GMC cancellation and some needed eliminations
on the two cars saves us about $2000 per year on premiums, and reinsurance
in May should only require a couple of keystrokes!
Oh yeah, one possibility for a no-host rally might be a military
campground, like the Blue Angel Park at NAS Pensacola. We've held one or
two Dixielanders rallies there in the 158 site campground. We've got
enough retired military members to host guests (under past rules, which
might have changed).
Here's the location: Approximately 9 miles outside of the NAS back gate
and off of Hwy 98 just before the Lillian Hwy bridge to Alabama. GPS
coordinates for the Blue Angel Marina are Latitude North 30 38.57 and
Longitude West 87 42.82
Something to think about...

OOoops! I forgot: GMC Sunshine Statesmen and Dixielanders have a rally
planned at Jekyll Island, GA during 13-16 May 2021 -- slipped from 2020!
Can't miss that to go to the Panhandle! Hot June?
