Saturday August 13 -

Woodinville Booze Tour 10:45am-5pm

Those involved in the car/van pool need to meet in front of the Sheraton at 10:45am We are shooting for an 11:30 arrival at Redhook

Lunch and Brewery tour at Redhook, Wine Tastings at Chateau Ste Michelle and Columbia Winery

**new info 7/27** A 15 psgr van has been rented to supplement the transportation so we should have transpo for everyone. I think the most fair option is if everyone who is catching a ride contribute $10 round trip to their driver, regardless of whether its in the rental or in a private car...as all the drivers will have to pay for parking and gas. As stated above, we will be meeting in front of the Sheraton at 10:45am to caravan.

The center where our amenities are being donated have a need for both of Sunday's meals to be provided and served at the center. Anyone interested in volunteering to donate grocery $, cook (at my place), and or serve, please PM me ASAP.

Random stuff you might want to know

Transportation:

The Public Bus runs between the airport and downtown frequently. The cost runs between $1.25 and $2.00 depending on the time of day you are travelling. You can use the Online Trip Planner to determine times and routing options. Additionally, there is a "free zone" downtown.

The airport shuttles will take you to and from the Airport and most Downtown Hotels for under $10

Overnight parking isn't cheap, so keep that in mind should you choose to rent a car. The only official SeaDoo event where you could conceivably need a vehicle is the Redhook Tour.. and only if you don't plan to drink. In the past I've rented a van and will probably do so again this year.

Hotels:

There is no "official" SeaDoo hotel, because ..well.. everyone has their own chain preferences.

Sheraton, Westin and W tend to house the majority of the SeaDoo crowd. Perhaps our resident lurker will find a fabulous rate for us??? *HINT*

The Grand Hyatt is a very nice, centrally located property as well. It used to come up on Priceline at a ridiculously cheap rate, but I don't think we've been as lucky the last couple years

Marriott has a new waterfront property, a Renaissance on 6th and Madison, and a Springhill Suites out by the Freeway. None are exactly central..but close enough.

The downtown Hilton is NOT popular round here...so our HH lovers usually stay out at the Homewood Suites. A bit out of the way..but you get your points. Spiff, KathyWdrf, and SkiAdcock have stayed there in the past if you want more info.

People seem to do well with priceline... a 4* bid will likely net you the Sheraton or Westin. 3* might get you the Edgewater, Red Lion, or West Coast.


Amenity Collection

It's become a SeaDoo tradition that Hotel/Airline amenities are collected at the Saturday night dinner for local shelters. Consider this your fair warning however, that anything with "Aveda" on the label isn't going any farther than my bathroom! I <heart> Aveda.

The official sport of SeaDoo weekend.

This years Naked Twister championships will be hosted by Spiff

SEA_Tigger

Just reserved my airline tickets, hotel, and car rental! Count me in!

fredmartens

I'm having a tough time getting decent airfare. Can anyone help?

Spiff

Ummm... shouldn't we make sure the Ms are in town first?

Or, we could move this to the T-Birds season...

missydarlin

No M's = more time at the bar

RobotDoctor

I will have to check my schedule. You know me......

missydarlin

In checking the past few seasons, it seems that the 2nd weekend in August is always M's vs Yanks. But they will probably play the series in NY next summer, since it was here this year.

So once again ... no Ms = less people taking up our hotel space, and more time at the bar

Spiff

At the rate that dlnewbie was acquiring drinks at the game, it was just like being at the bar.

I sense (yet another) contract on my liver...

missydarlin

dlnewbie doesn't drink anymore. He swore off the sauce after N'awlins

Spiff

He's got 11 months for a change of heart. (and possibly a change of blood and other organs too)

SEA_Tigger

What's the address of that place in Enumclaw again?

alanw

In keeping with tradition, I shall go ahead and commit NOT to be there.

I may be getting married that weekend.

fredmartens

Harumph. And to think I was going to rent a second hot tub for the occasion...

missydarlin

I wonder how many pages long this thread will be before we've even picked a dinner venue.

Alan, you aren't the marrying kind Getyobootyoverhere!

SEA_Tigger

If enough of us SEAfolk make it to BCN (Go/No-Go is October 7th for me), we expect quid pro quo, Mister.


Something other then a brewery this time, perhaps?
