Wei-Shen, for $110 we could stay here which is about a mile away as best I can tell and is a Marriott Autograph property (like the Casa Monica in St Aug and the Grand Bohemian downtown). Just a thought!

This sounds interesting.

The Castle Hotel sounds great. My only concern about that location is traffic. I-Drive is a parking lot, but it might not be so bad at that time because the Xmas vacationers haven't arrived. You guys are welcome to stay there.

Wei-Shen: Please amend your attendee list. "Harriet D and guest" is actually Irv and Harriet Damast. We are in for dinner, lunch, car show. We already booked the Drury Inn.

Irv, I've got you covered!

All set for drury. See everyone there!!!

Andre, I got your PayPal and added you to the registration list!

Add me to the list. I got a furlough approved by my warden. I just need to renew my NSXCA membership and I'll paypal you shortly afterwards.

Wei Shen: I assume you know there are many deals for Festival of Speed tickets, including group rates, similar to this.

https://www.livingsocial.com/events/1274550-two-four-or-six-tickets-to-festivals-of-speed?country=US&cvosrc=ppc.google.festivals%20of%20speed&matchtype=p&id=1274550-two-four-or-six-tickets-to-festivals-of-speed&msdc_id=349-boca-raton-lake-worth

Yes, I am aware. Working on a group rate with event director Joe Ippolito. The deal you found is really good....and may be even cheaper than what he can offer. Let's wait and see......

Doc L, got your $$ and added you to the list!

Wei Shen; Sorry, but I'm not going to be able to attend. My wife started having some unusual feelings on her left side after going up our stairs. After some tests she's been scheduled for bypass surgery next Tuesday. Anyway, we won't be in Florida until late December at the earliest.
So if I don't see you, and the rest of the FL gang this winter, maybe next October in Palm Springs. Howard
