Not at all - I'm actually doing the same thing! I was going to drive over all my stuff Wednesday and fly over Thursday, but I've moved it up a day. I'm sure there will be plenty of dry times on Thursday (at least that's what most forecasts say) but I need to be there early and I don't want to take the chance. Several of us will be around on Wednesday so it will be fine, and I'm sure the motels are not heavily booked on that day.
I AM a bit worried about the arch fly-by, but all we can do is wait and evaluate when the time comes. See you!
