Well not me personally yet, but our Jeeps are. I delivered them to the sea freight terminal in England this week. They are now on the ship waiting to start their month long voyage back to America. I know they will be arriving early for the Fall Fling, but there are a few more trails in other States that we want to drive with friends during the summer. Counting down the weeks now.

glad they are on their way, see you guys in a month or so.
I'm hitching a ride over the Atlantic with my wife. She very conveniently has a business meeting in Philadelphia that week. I had suggested that to save some money I could just stay over for a couple of months. Sadly, it's a no go. I have to come back to look after the kids, dogs and cats. My parents have only agreed to do it for a week.

Hope you're not using the same company BMW and Jaguar used a few years ago in those parts.

A few years ago, Lloyds suffered a major insurance loss. Seems that a RoRo full of BMW's lost power underway in the North Channel during a major storm. Got broadside to the swell and capsized.
Then, a RoRo full of Jaguars hit it and both sank. Same shipping company.
Lloyds exposure was so great, they went to the expense of salvaging both RoRo's.
BMW's and Jags both come in here, Port Hueneme. I saw some of them.
I wonder how many folks with them know their expensive cars spent time on the sea floor.

That was back in '03 I think. We were still looking at buying the wife's MINI and there was all kinds of pissed off people because the cars they waited 6 months for were at the bottom of the atlantic.

Shipping to your island is pretty normal. Matson even runs those ferry ships back and forth.

Bring Ron a quality bottle of booze from your neck of the woods and I bet he will offer to give you a lift.Vince said:

Vince.. I think I could convince Ron to take a hop down to LAX. I wonder if he has ever/can fly to the big ol' LAX.
It's a long journey 2.5 to 4 hours drive each way depending on traffic, that's too much to ask as a favour. I'm happy to go by bus.
I have to do the journey twice on consecutive days as I need to collect my XJ and my wife's TJ from the port. She was intending to drive hers from the port but our ship was delayed 2-days and my wife just can't be there. I have to collect the Jeeps on my own or get them trailered. The bus is the cheapest option.
