[Wrinkleface]

Blue Moon on Collins! get in mid day on Wed, leave afternoon on Sunday!

[.38Special]

Tracy, Thanks for the info the other day. I was at the dentist (Dr. Cabbell in Hartland) getting a cleaning this morning and my doc says he goes to Florida in Feb. also. Everyone wants out of here. I see the Blue Moon, Clevelander/ Essex House are all about 1.4 miles from the boat show. Are these all about the closest?

[Knot 4 Me]

Shelbourne is a great place to stay location-wise. Just don't expect much for a room...not that you will be in it much anyway! Does anyone know if Finnigan's Way is still open? Right on the beach North of the Clevelander? Great bar...

[Perlmudder]

So I am going down with my friend and her sister works for Marriott. She said that if we stay at a Fairfield or a Marriott she can hook us up with a sick room (she said the Fairfield will be a lot cheaper). Is there any close to the show? I was looking for one ocean front cus we wanna sit on the beach while we are there also. Anybody have any suggestions?

Interesting, I thought everyone was there. Never been to the west coast boating. Would be interesting be see how different it is.

[DollaBill]

There's some of everything but 90% is yacht, sportfish or offshore hi-perf boating.

The west coats has a group of offshore guys (Tank and the Cali crew) and theres a few large cats on Havasu, but it's really small compared to the boats east of the miss river. I would think a Cali show would be what you're looking for.

[Wrinkleface]

BTT cuz it needs 2 B!!!!:cheers2:

[ThrottleUp Props]

Hey Wrink....what was the name of the hotel that the FPC had the party at last year, when we finally met? I was thinking it was the Ritz or the Raleigh, possibly. It seemed like a very nice hotel.

Thanks and XXX-OOO for George!

For you out of towners....."the Ritz" is NOT the Ritz Carlton. It is a dumpy hotel next to the Delano that tries to play off the Delano's art deco reputation. The Delano is cool but not 1K a night cool in my opinion....Stayed there one year, stayed at the Biltmore in Coral Gables another year (graduated from Univ. of Miami so know the area well). Biltmore is a $40 cab ride from South Beach but you can do other stuff in Coral Gables during the day.....

[jackie.fpc]

FPC party is at the Raliegh Hotel.

[DollaBill]

Loews is my favorite

[waterboy222]

By the way, there is an ASSSSLOAD of cheap places to stay on southbeach at www.vrbo.com
We are getting a 2bd, completely renovated condo on ocean front right in the hub of it all for like $170/nt.

There are some great deals - but if you are not too familiar with the different resorts, how do you choose? Any recommendations?

Stayed at the Clevelander two years ago, this year they want $379 / night

[Tommy Gun]

We are booked for 3 nights at the Surfcomber on the beach by the Convention Center for the weekend then move to the Marriott Biscayne Bay /Sea Isle until poker run departure on Thursday. See U there! :cheers2:

I stayed at this Ritz about 4 years ago. Convenient is the only positive thing to say about it.
