THIRTY MORGANS SIGN UP
The list is growing rapidly of people interested in MOA VI- 2015. We have 30 Morgan owners who have expressed serious interest in the trip. In January 2014, non-refundable (but transferable) deposits will be requested to assure a spot on the trip. At this point, we haven't determined how many places there will be on the trip, but we do know that 43 cars is too many and 20 works well (keep up the good work George and Moira).
For those who have not been on our Morgans Over America trips, we work with a travel agent on booking rooms, and the participants pay the travel agent directly- generally in 2 payments. Individuals do not deal directly with the hotels/motels. At this time we do not know the average daily room rate for 2015- but for budgeting purposes, plan $175 per day (we will definitely try for lower). We include staying at historical hotels, and then prefer motels where we keep our Morgans outside the door. It is difficult to deal with participants who do not do the entire trip, so please plan on the entire trip.
For shipping from UK and Australia, we will look for a volunteer(s) from each country to coordinate the shipping from that country. Shipping will be TO Savannah, Georgia and FROM Norfolk, Virginia. There are shipping routes with the same carriers that call at both ports. We will probably "FedEx" some Morgans from the West Coast to Savannah, unless everyone decides to drive there and back.
We also hope to make contact with local Morgan and British car clubs for visiting along the route. On MOA IV, an entire town brought out the band, and a Wings and Wheels festival was held at the airport museum- great fun.
