Thanks for the suggestions,I'm coming over with Damian.We had planned to go to the NHRA museum to see tar babe and underdog,amongst all the other cool stuff.
We were considering coming to the DKP monthly meet on the 5th.Just wondered if there would be a decent turn out what with it being labour day weekend?

I'm also after some recommendations for the best fish tacos.I got a serious taste for them last time I was over!
After seeing the pictures of the swallows inn we might have to put that on the list,Think the girls might enjoy it. :o
We fly out on Tuesday morning,can't wait!!

If you like authentic tacos the way they make them in Mex, then Taco Nazo is the best. If you just want a peice of grilled fish shoved in a tortilla then Wahoo's

That's a good question, Jonathan. But if I remember correctly, Labor Day Cruise Nights still take place... but not quite as many cars. You never know till you get there. Hope to see you at Nick's and enjoy your trip.
