While I've been in Gdansk several times, my home town is East St.Louis. Gdansk is the home town of Lech Walesa and of the movement that brought down Communism in Eastern Europe. Bony must be on one hell of trip to be hitting the Baltic states.

Chip,

Arlette and Barry on the 8th, one GT. You did say the pool was clothing optional, so we can save room by not packing suits?
Thx.

I'll be bringing the same rig I drove last year. F250 with Trailex single car trailer. One GT. :thumbsup

Can't wait!

Chip,

Any word on the group rate at the hotel in Scottsdale? Got all my other ducks in a row. Thanks, AC

Chip,

I may have missed it in the previous 9 pages, but have you decided on a route yet?

I probably won't be able to make it to Scottsdale for the festivities, but I would like link up with the GT caravan en route to Vegas. Are you thinking about going through Havasu or up Hwy 93?

Best Regards,
Waldo

Poolside etiquette.

Chip,

Thx. Barry

Barry,

The pool and jacuzzi at Beck's Landing are textile free. Especially when Veronica has about half a dozen of her girlfriends over. :banana :banana

Makes my banana dance every time! :banana :biggrin

Hotel room rate.

Gentlemen,

My apologies for being late with this information. I hold two events at the Scottsdale Suites Old town Hotel every year and they always take excellent care of us. But as they are renovating one wing of the hotel this summer they were not taking group reservations so I needed to get through to the head honcho event sales manager to get them to make an exception for our exceptional group. That has been accomplished as of this morning and this evening I should have an event code and phone number for members to call. The only real heartburn they had with our group last year was having some of the concrete leading to the underground parking garage damaged by our fearless moderator. They're just now getting over it. :biggrin The normal room rate at that time of year is $159 per night but they will be providing us with a rate of $109 per night when you call (wait till I post the promotional code please) and identify yourself as a member participating in the "Ford GT Owners Event". Once I post the promotional code each member must call and guarantee their room with a credit card. The hotel will provide us with separate secure parking on the bottom level of their hidden underground parking garage. Attendees at last year's Rally to the Rally will tell you that the accommodations for both our cars and ourselves were outstanding. The Marriott Old Town is a beautiful red brick hotel in the heart of old town Scottsdale, close to everything. AND... they have a great bar!! :cheers :cheers :cheers

Again, as soon as they fax me back a promotional code and phone number I will post it up. They have guaranteed us 20 rooms at our killer good guy rate so don't delay. Those members arriving a few days early to have their car worked on by the GT guys can request the promotional rate for those days as well. If you have any questions I can be reached on my cell phone at 602-430-4877.

I'm happy to attest to the exceptional facilities for people and our GT's that Chip has set up. So what did our mod run into there? And regarding "textile free" - we usually have to go to Braco for that! (so how many Jamaica fans are out there?)

Hey guys,

I just got off the phone with Chip who asked me to post, on his behalf, that everyone coming to the pre rally wait 24 hours before calling Marriott's 1 800 reservation number to book a room. Apparently the salesman at the hotel needs this time to get the reservation department up to speed. ( I know because I just called them and they knew nothing of this event )

As Chip is totally aware of the situation, he has asked that everyone be patient and that they don't call him -about this - as he is tied up. ( Not literally but then again who knows? :biggrin)

Yes, and Chip asked me to collect pictures of everybody bringing their teenage or college age daughters. Please send them attached to a PM addressed to Dr. Frank
