Had a great road trip weekend, our first in the Jag!

It all started with the luggage. For my wife's birthday, I bought her the luggage set, along with roses, some cash, and a note instructing her to "pack right now for an overnight!"






Packed her up, and took to the road.







We drove 150 miles to the west side of the State to Saugatuck, a quaint little touristy artsy town with an awesome Bed and Breakfast. We stopped at a lighthouse during some light rain and fog.






Stayed at the Wickwood B&B. Exceptional place. The owner is also the author of The Silver Palate cookbook, so yes, the food was great.








Fabulous trip, great time in the F-Type, neat back roads on the way there, and with such a small trunk, we could only do so much shopping!!

 

Very nice, and well done!

 

very nice. Glad you guys had a great trip.. =)

 

Great pictures!

 

Strong work Mike!

 

Well played! I'm a native of South Haven - Saugatuck is a fun town.

 

+1. I need to plan a road trip!

 

Nice story and great Pics Mike, you've given me an idea!!

 

Yep, that's my favorite type of sportscar/getaway weekend. Well done! ......and I LIKE that the F type limits her shopping (...don't tell her that though or she'll see through my apologetic look I give here whenever she wants to buy something bigger than a bottle of wine!) LOL

Well, done, Sir! Looks like a great trip!

 

Very cool, great surprise and nice road trip

 

Very nice!! I have to ask where you got the luggage. It matches the interior of my F Type perfectly with the jet with red stitching.

 

You guys really have to stop posting these things......my wife just saw this post and is getting ideas! Thanks a lot guys

 

Tally, I found them on ebay, new, but only one in stock. Sorry.

 

They come up for sale on ebay on a regular basis. Gaudin Jaguar Parts will offer them similarly priced online.

 

Just as Mike and Lance stated. E-bay has them.. here you go.

Thanks. Found a set on eBay so I'll be ready for my next road trip.

 

Very romantic. When I get old, OP, I want to be like you!

 

REALLY freaking cute. =) This is like empathy, and you're feeding me excitement!! Can't wait for our trip, so love seeing other people's fun!

I got the luggage, realizing the dob kit and laptop bag basically make it a 3 piece. The garment bag is fantastic. Very smart.

I've got a 3-4 week trip this summer, up the CA coast, through OR, WA, ID, to Montana's Glacier, then down to Yellowstone, the Tetons, then Moab, then Grand Canyon, Arches, Desert Valley and Yosemite. It's park traffic season, but I don't think I will mind... staying at some lovely properties that shall take away that stress. You can see the route here:

I picked up this luggage rack in case we need souvenirs. =)

Maybe you drop what you paid?

I negotiated with these guys that had a make-an-offer button:
naples_luxury_imports_parts on eBay

$485 plus $50 shipping for an out the door negotiated deal of $500.

Not sure if there is limited supply, so the price is going up, or what? I bought in October.

I wanted the custom bespoke fancy pants one they advertised a bit ago....
