Yep, been checking that very website for most of the last two weeks, watching other RoRo ships come and go and getting frustrated. Finally decided this past weekend to give it a rest since we didn't even have a ship name. Now today we get that info, and the impatient waiting resumes. Kinda reminds me of just before I turned 16, waiting and waiting to get my driver's license. *Sigh*...Quote

...soooo the excitement builds. You'll be getting it at perfect time of year to be able to enjoy it for the spring and summer.
Are you tracking the ship on Marine Traffic?

Hope you're not as obsessed as one person who shall go unnamed (right Joanne?), who even stalked the ship her car was on as it was going through the Panama Canal.

My dealer's only about five miles from home, but I suppose I could double that by driving around all the potholes here.Quote

Expect the ship to make a stop or two along the way.
Once it gets out past the UK, it will disappear for 5 or 6 days. Then reappear around Newfoundland.
Exciting times for you, for sure.
Got a good route planned to take your new 981 the long way home?

Mmmm, ice cream... Now that I think of it, there is an ice cream parlor a very convenient 40 miles away. And more than a few of our favorite restaurants between here and thereQuote

...hmmmmm. It appears you're an inexperienced Porsche home bringer.
My dealer is 60 miles away. It only took me 150 miles to bring it home. You want to at least be able to get the engine properly warmed up on its first drive.
You do know that ice cream tastes better the further you get it from home, don't you? Bet there's a place that sells REALLY good ice cream some 40 or 50 mi. from home. Nice way to celebrate bringing home a brand new 981. Maybe you can even find a nice place to take some pictures of your new Boxster ( might be good for another 30 - 40 miles ).

Yep, this will be our first opportunity to bring home a Porsche. Thanks for the pointers!
