Hey all you No. Cal dopers. I’m writing to try to finalize things for the Monterey get together on the 19th of February.
So far, the 411 is:
El Toritos on Cannery Row in Monterey, at 12 noon on the 19th of February.
Also, some dopers like Democritus, and Sassy, plan to stay the entire weekend. In the chatroom, Sassy and a few of us mentioned that it would be nice to go to the Aquarium on Sunday, after everyone has recovered from the drunken orgy the day before. If we dont stay at the aquarium too long, we could go scare the tourists on the row too, if you all so please ;).
So, what I would like to know is, what do you all who plan to stay the entire weekend (or even think they might make it) think? Also, it would be nice to get those who plan to go to mention it here and say you are coming.

Highlander and I plan to come up to Monterey that weekend and bring the kids. I’ll meet y’all at Torito’s, don’t know if he will since we don’t plan to inflict the kids on all of you (you’re very welcome! ;)). We’ve already got our tickets for the aquarium (discount through my work), and we need to find a reasonably priced, decent hotel/motel where we can get two connecting rooms.
It’s a holiday weekend, so we ought to speak for rooms soon or we’ll be out of luck. I’m really looking forward to this! (And remember, the Southern California get together is the following weekend, for those of you who want to mosey on down this way!)
Woo hoo! I get in for $12.95! Heh, I agree with the previous posters, it would be good to get hotel info ASAP. Even though it’s still a months away, people do need to plan things out.

You are going to the Aquarium too? sigh I love that place. Well, I’ll sit and be content with looking at my pics of the jelly fish while you are touring. When you see them, wave at me
We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another
Doob, bookmark this message subject so you can bring it up later, instead of begining a new one. Now we got two of them, but we can let this one be the one we use.
Here is that hotel:
Beachcomber Inn & Restaurant
(831) 373-4769
1996 Sunset Dr, Pacific Grove, CA 93950
$49.95 one or two people right now but their rates change. When you call the Beachcomber tell them you saw them at pacificgrove.com They probably won’t have a clue, but thats usual for PG.
Mr. Goodwrench and I will be there Sat. and Sun., but I’m not sure how late we can stay on Sunday. If there’s time, I’d love to go to the aquarium, too.
See y’inz at El Torito’s at noon on the 19th.
P.S. Shayna, please try to make it!

ruadh, I am driving down and taking mom’s minivan to haul anyone interested down there. I am leaving from Santa Rosa early, probably around 7 or 8 in the morning and am more than happy to stop anywhere in between to pick up Dopers who need a ride. Also, i am staying the night and plan on heading back around 5 or 6 Sunday evening.

Well, my mother and I started a civil conversation this morning about this. Before it turned into a yelling match about some other topic, it sounded like I’d be allowed and able to make it, so count me in for Saturday.

Handy: Too late now, besides, i think this thread makes it easier to wade through the banter from the other thread. I think this one is good for putting up info about things like the hotel, aquarium, and ride info too. Anyway, forgive oh master of sign (kidding :))
