Pontiacs In The Forge or Tybee Island
« on: January 24, 2011, 03:30:57 pm »
I was talking with Don about the All Pontiacs Show and he said he needed to paint his car in order to show it.  We touched on the possibility of going to Tybee Island instead, if he didn't get the car painted.

What is the feeling about doing a 3 day in Tybee Island instead of Pigeon Forge?  Or some could go to Pigeon Forge to show and the non-show cars could go to Tybee Island.  Since we normally go up to Pigeon Forge on Friday and come back Sunday, we could do the same for Tybee Island.  

I believe the PITF is June 3, 4, and 5 so we could do Tybee on the same weekend.

There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Or some could go to Pigeon Forge to show and the non-show cars could go to Tybee Island.  

At this point, my bet is mine will be a "non-show" car. If my 84 is working by then, my wife and I would like to join you all for Tybee Island.

If folks aren't up to a 3 day weekend at Tybee, maybe they could leave early Saturday morning, say maybe 7AM.  They would be there by around 1 and could enjoy one evening and night.  Not as much fun as 3 days, but still a good weekend together.

The hotel where we normally stay in Pigeon Forge is

I've heard from some others that they plan to be there. 

Shall I start working on a hotel for Tybee Island for those going down there?

I've been concerned about the cost of gasoline affecting our trip to Tybee Island.  I spoke with Don today and he says it's still on, irregardless.  Right now, there are 5 who say they will go, so I'm going to block 6 rooms to start with.  If more sign up, then I can add some.  If you want to go, answer the poll.  It makes it easier to tabulate. 

Rates at Howard Johnson are $216 per night.  At The Dunes, which is in the same area, a room with 2 double beds is $139.95 and with 2 queen beds is $149.95.  This is the regular rates.  When the manager returns, she will contact me with any special rates she may offer us. 

The receptionist I spoke with said they have another group coming in that weekend, so we might want to lock down a block of rooms with a credit card.  I'm willing to do this, but I need a guarantee that anyone who says they are coming will cover the cost whether they go, or not.

Since my middle name is Frugal, Anne and I are looking for the cheapest possible accommodation  ;D and just one bed will suffice

We've booked our rooms already, so obviously, we are committed ;D
Friday $ 99.00 plus tax, Saturday $ 149.00 plus tax
Call instead of booking online, it'll save you a little money it seems.

If for some reason nobody goes, we are going anyways, we want to see Savannah
