We have found at previous NSXPO's that many of the spouses and "significant others" that accompany our NSX owners have a great time, often better than they had anticipated.

To accommodate those companions who might not be fascinated by car-oriented activities every day of the event, we plan to charter a transportation van for day-trips on Friday and Saturday. This would leave the Osthoff in the morning and drive to various Milwaukee-area places to visit, circulate among the Milwaukee sites during the day, then return to the Osthoff in late afternoon. Those who take advantage of this opportunity are welcome to direct the van to any particular sites they are interested in.

I need to estimate how much demand there will be for this service, so that we can arrange the proper size vehicle. If anyone expects his/her guest to use the van one or both days, please send an e-mail to [email protected] This is not a reservation to do so, but merely an expectation that we can use to estimate demand.

Possible sites of interest include the following:

Milwaukee West
--------------

Mayfair Mall - Over 150 of the finest retailers in the country including: Ann Taylor, Coach, Pottery Barn, Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Fitch, Musuem Company, Williams Sonoma, Eddie Bauer Superstore, two-level Barnes & Noble.
