Godspeed and good luck. I did a similar feat back in 2003. Flew into Baltimore Washington Int'l and was picked up by BKubu in his 1009. Went to his place and got the M275A2 deuce tractor ready for the ride. Drove it all the way to WPB alone. I have to say it was a nice trip and my first deuce trip over 1000 miles. Just enjoy the ride!
