I've got it in the recesses of my mind that they don't have to be type approved for a visit up to a certain length of time. I seem to think that my sister thought that she would take a mini to Tennessee in the 60's, but never got the project off the ground.

A friend of mine lives in Pheonix, AZ and he had his Westfield shipped over there for a while but he could only keep it there for 6 months IIRC before having to ship it back.

Can't wait to see you guys come through my neck of the Colorado woods. Although, I take it I'm likely to *hear* you coming first?!
