Default Big Arrival

Seven Seas Highway docked at Port of Davisville in RI on Monday. My Q5 was aboard. Scheduled to be on the truck to PA Friday and at the dealer Monday or Tuesday. I will be driving a Scuba Blue Q5 TDI on Wednesday or Thursday of next week . . . if all remains on schedule.

Think I sound a little anxious?

No you sound like a new owner of a Q5. I think a lot of us stocked the ship port to port on the Net. I know I was checking for tracking updates a good two or three times a day while mine was in transit. I actaully tracked mine coming in through the Bay and was getting mad when it was held outside for a good 6 hours during the day before docking. Good times, better when it finally arrives!!! Enjoy

I don't want to jinx you but hiccups that could mess up your timeline would be if the time to get through customs, port prep, invoicing, etc. doesn't get delayed due to backup and having the truck available, loaded and ready to go when they're done at the port. Then there's the weather to worry about and how fast the dealer can get delivery prep done. Hope all goes well for you though.

Reminds me of my children a few years ago (they're past Santa now) when they would go to bed at 5:30 so Santa would arrive sooner. Keep in mind these are night owls who normally would beg and plead to stay up past midnight on holidays and weekends.
