I should have all the "make reservations now, here's your special code" info in my e-folder. Want me to check? Anne, it's blocked-out time, thanks to angelic Laura and her letting us use her spotless credit (my own credit looks like the unholy love child of an apaloosa and a dalmatian), so we ought to be able to go and start any time.
I'm thinking I won't stay at the hotel Saturday night unless the money's in pocket, and I won't have a clue about that until much closer to the time; we're saving hard for two weeks next summer, because I want to go back to Arezzo and then to Paris, with a day or two in London. Luckily, no hotel bills in London (family flat in Bromley) but still hellapricey, a trip like that.
OK, Anne, and whoever wants this info now - from my email attachment:
"RESERVATION PROCEDURE
We have two options for your attendees to make a reservation:
- Call the Hotel reservations department at 1-800-243-1135. To receive the contract rates, the attendees should request the name of the group: Buffistas.
- Attendees may also reserve their contract rate on-line through a reservation link to our website that will be provided to you after return of your signed contract.
All reservations should be made by April 16, 2006. After this date, we will release the remainder of your guest room block. Additional reservation requests will be honored on a space and rate available basis."
BTW, for people low on cash, there are a number of triple to quad occupancy rooms available at $119 per night, with a $20 per extra person surcharge. So, if my admittedly crap math skills are at all functioning, four people can share one of the big rooms for just about $40 a night each as the base rate. Hard to beat.
Though, sadly, as things stand now, not from me. My niece is getting married that weekend in Connecticut.
Blow it off. It's not like she came to yours.
Thanks for the info, Deb!
Are there any plans for New Year's Eve amongst SF-ers?
Picking Juliana up at the airport.
Drinking as much champagne as we want to.
Not at the same time though.
I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. Being an East Bay girl, I'd like to stick close to home. There's the Cinderella Ball. [link]
Heading down to Perkins New Years Day, for brunch.
Bringing juliana in triumph to her new digs on Telegraph Hill, in SF.
Night before, don't know yet...
Bringing juliana in triumph to her new digs on Telegraph Hill, in SF.
Or at least following the SUV/Mini-van?
We can have a parade!
