Felix Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 The dog ate my homework!! (??) I was there last year with the team but it is very expensive to travel to the USA West Coast from the UK. My first visit was by invitation in 1994. I was there with my family in 2001. Let's hope that some of the USA and Japanese fliers can come to Europe in 2012. Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Foster Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 We ran out of excuses years ago. When you get older, you run out of lots of stuff. This is our 9th year at WSIKF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Just learned about WSIKF this year! Dropped a chunk of change on 3 Revs. Skipped going to Cali a few months ago to get the collection off to a good start! Have family to visit in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we will be attending the International Balloon Fiesta while there! I'm already making plans to attend next year! In the meantime, I must live vicariously through everyone's pictures! Please, take and post lots of pics!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AldenMiller Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Two years ago my friends Rich and Paul called me from the beach at WSIKF and said I had to get out here. So, I did last year and I get on the plane tomorrow morning to do it again. Maybe next year I'll have an excuse for not going... We'll miss you Paul! -Alden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauranyyfan Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hi Guys.... Had every intention of going (would have been my third year in a row) but...... a broken hand and recent knee surgery has put me out of commission for a bit. Sunfest is coming soon and I WILL be there with the Rev Riders.... and I can't wait!!! Have a great time out there.... will be thinking of you all.

kwmf Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I will have to talk to him when he gets to Longbeach later this week....... He's welcome to come to the festival here in Cape Town late October and beat some skill into me with that SLE like he keeps promising I guess he could nominate a sufficiently skilled substitute with sufficient finances, but it's just not the same if it's not a monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVflyer Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I would so dearly love to go to WSIKF but it's exactly timed for when I'm swamped at work. If I did quit work (to attend the festival) I couldn't afford to go any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneReed Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have 1 reason - finite resources. Limited $, time, spousal patience. Have to stay on the east coast for kiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
