Hi all!

The spouse and I were just jabbing and decided we're up for a road trip. Would like to hook up with some of you in St Aug. We love the area (used to own condo in Ponte Vedra Bch). How many are going? Can we squeeze in?
I'm a little sensitive (OK, anal) about the parking situation....can the Inn provide secure parking??

BTW, I'm also a Maryland native

I've never been to the inn, so I'm not sure exactly what kind of parking arrangements
there are.I understand that the parking is located at 3 sites that are away from the inn itself, and that's all I know. As for how many are going, it looks like Rich and Connie Z, and Dotty and I are the only ones that have rooms booked at the inn. There could be others at
different places, but I don't know. Maybe Rich will jump in about the parking since
he's been there a time or two.....

Parking in all of St. Augustine is really a problem. If you don't get there early in the day, especially on the weekends, you'll be lucky to find ANY parking, much less GOOD parking.

Nearly all of the inns lease spots on the various lots nearby to them. There are three parking slots at the Inn itself, and the rest are scattered around. At first, this concerned me as well, but we get a spot on a bank parking lot where they have a guard most of the time, and that seems to suffice. I had considered taking an el cheapo car cover with me, but figured that would wind up being more hassle than it is worth. When I get the car home, I just wash it. No big deal.

Guess depends on your outlook. I got the Corvette to drive and it's a real joy to do so. To have me NOT go someplace because I didn't want to drive the vette there just seems kind of self defeating. No matter what we drive, we are careful where we park, so as long as a little bit of common sense is used (don't park under pine trees that squirrels can toss pine cones onto your car!) about where you park, things will be just fine.

Anyway, check the Inn's website to see what they have available for next week. I think Connie told me they were booked up solid on Thursday, but maybe earlier in the week there is still something available. If not, well just come on over to the Inn from where ever you will be staying and hang out with us.

Weather looks like it's going to be about perfect!

In the event the Inn on Charlotte is booked for the time you will be there, Jim Kill mentioned that he and Debbie will be staying at the Hilton. The Hilton has secured parking. The Hilton also backs up to the street where the Inn is, so we just have to cross the street to see each other. Very convenient. Hope you can be in St. Augustine with us!

beepster.......MANNNNNNNNNN it looks like you are in need of a different reality!
Sorry you won't be able to join us. Check out the thread for Apalachicola in 2010 and start
making plans. Ya got 5 months to get everything squared away before then, and the invite
for that one is open to any and every one as well.
Andy

Yeah, you're right...I need to either get my priorities in order or the brain engaged before opening the mouth. The Apalachicola (sp?) trip sounds good, hope to see you all there...if not before? Btw, the Dimmitt show is next Sat. where I'll be hanging out for awhile...if any of you guys are going, let's hook up to say hi
