Start booking, people!

Here's the skinny:

Please instruct attendees to call 800.972.8558, select option 2 (Group Reservations).  Please advise the group reservationist that you are calling in to make a reservation for the Speedster Owners Club Group , and the Group Code is GSOC17. 

 

OR, attendees may book on-line at:  http://bookings.ihotelier.com/...034&userType=GRP

 

 Group rates:

 

$179.00 for standard rooms

 

The cancellation policy for individual reservations is 48 hours.

Please note, rates are nightly and exclude a 12% occupancy tax, $3 local TID tax, and a 7.5% Resort Fee.  Fees are subject to change. Pet friendly rooms are an additional $40.00, plus taxes and fees per night.

 

Just tried the online booking thing. They do have our group code in their system.

But when I tried to book, it took me to a page that seemed to allow only a one night stay - no option to stay Friday AND Saturday nights.

This is probably because the web page knows who I am, that I'm a giant pain in the butt, and that everyone else will be a lot happier if I'm not around on Saturday night.

OK, I get that. But there's a chance the web page is confused and that normal people will get the same response I did, too.

Just saying.

Dang, if you're not right, Tebs!

I tried the 'Terry Nuckels, Jr' trick and got right in - so I switched to an Executive Lake View King Suite - with the deluxe slippers, fleece-trimmed bathrobes, and champagne welcome package.

Best part was when they asked, "Leave it on your credit card, Mr. Nuckels?"

...and you replied:

...and it is Terry's shindig that I must catch so all bets are off for a 395 trip. Besides, there are long sections of the 395 that appear to be right outta this movie right here...

Just substitute the Explorer towing the Roadster, Donna, and me for the Suburban, Airstream, and family... you get the picture

It could happen.

IM hearing banjos in the distance...

Okay, got an update from the hotel. Only 7 rooms are booked. Those who have are:

Jim & Ginny, Ricardo & Vanessa, Robert & Nancy, Teby, Mitch & Kathy, Ron & Karen and Andie and me.

@Will Hesch, @Ryan (formerly) in NorCal, @Troy Sloan, @Rick C., @Larry Bull, @Rusty S, what's up? Are you coming? I guaranteed 10 rooms based on interested parties so let's get moving! Cut off date is 8/15. 

@Anthony needs a head count for the Thursday barbecue at his shop. Let's get with it, people!

@Ryan (formerly) in NorCal, you cheapskate! With all the money you won in SLO you can afford to stay at the hotel.

Ryan, you may have to stay at the hotel. At this time of year, most of the vineyards up there are booked solid. 

You guys are great. Laugh it up retirees. We've found the number of children we have is inversely proportional to the volunteers we get to watch them for weekends while my wife and I play.

If we can get the kids sorted, we'll join you in the hotel. I know better than to mention "hammock" to her. If not, I'll have to see how far my weekend privileges go.

Terry, I'm so sorry for speaking before thinking (Kathy says I do that all the time...).

We have only 300 km on the new engine, about 150 miles so we'd be silly to cruise all the way up to Tahoe on a new, unbroken-in engine.

I've been given a dose of reality from my better half so must decline this wonderful opportunity.

Send any penalties or other monetary obligations we may have incurred to Uncle Teby

You have 36 days until TDH. At 50 miles per day for 36 days that is 1800 miles you can/should put on WC. Change the oil somewhere in that timeframe then go.

Yes, Sally and I will be there, but Teby snores so loud that we are staying down the road a bit.

We will also be there for the pre-cruise bbq.
