In other news...

Has anyone heard from Sully?

I PM'd Sully about the Columbia Meet N Eat but never received a reply.

Yes you can doeth.

It's easy, i'll show you

CJ call the Top

>>>Kathy<<< Hi this is the Ridge Top can I help you?

>>>CJ<<< Yes this is Charles and I'd like to book a room; I'm with the new beetle people.

>>>Kathy<<< Okay, I have a room for you- would you like smoking or non-smoking?

>>>CJ<<< non-smoking

>>>Kathy<<< great, I have a room set aside for you. All I need is your charge card or debit card. YOU WON'T BE CHARGED or DEBITED, THAT'S UNLESS YOU CANCEL WITH LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF YOUR BOOKED DATE.

>>>CJ<<< Hey that's great! Here's my card number

>>>Kathy<<< Thank you Charles for your reservation. We look forward to seeing you with the rest of the beetle people in May.


It's that simple. Just a call and no money out of pocket.

Now you try it...call em

[Beetlescott]

OK, I'm confused. I just called the Ridge Top motel in Bryson City and the lady said they couldn't reserve rooms for then yet, because they didn't have rates figured? I called the first place Gary put on the first post of this thread??? I don't want to miss this! The lady did say, if we had a particular number of peeps registered, we could get a "much much better rate". OH and i did mention it was with the New Beetle group. She acted like she had never heard of it. I'm sure I called the worng place....

[Beetlescott]

OK, sorry. Boy do I feel stoopid! I called the second place! I was looking at the Ridge Top, and dialled the other place. (I suppose it must of been the long nap I had today) Anyway, I'm BOOKED!!!!!!!

Book now or forever be booked at another hotel and miss out on all the late night, up til 3am, crazy walmart run chats at the Ridge Top!!! Seriously, You'll be spending over 90% of your time at the Ridge Top, and you'll be so excited you'll never want to leave and then you'll pay for a room elsewhere that you'll hardly see! CJ, book a room! Cancel later if you have to. There is NO CHARGE until 24hours BEFORE ToD 2k11. You should know by THEN if you can't make it. Do it or I'll do it for you!!!!

[peanutsmom]

I can't wait for this one. I lived near Asheville for 5 years, so it is just like home for me I don't think I spoke with Kathy, but when I gave her the dates, she asked me if it was with the New Beetle group. Since this is the third one, can you tell me a little about how all this came about?

[peanutsmom]

Guess What I just did!!! I booked our room!! Woot woot!! Im so excited and I just can't hide it!! How long do we have now?

[peanutsmom]

And if possible I wanna catch a trail of bugs.. lol

It was late 08 when Bob (Raff) posted a pic of his bug with a route 129 sign. Denise & I just got back from a trip on the Dragon with the Honda Element group. I said why not with new beetles and the original thread was born After hashing it out we decided to attract more longer distance attendees, we needed to make it a 3 day event. It has since become a must attend Org event.

Woot, Woot, Woot!!!! very cool
As the date gets closer, I'll start some bugavan threads for the various states. We'll have to meet up in Columbia so we can bugavan to Bryson City. Probably pick up April & Gary (aprilm) and Kurt & Janie (supercharged98) along the way too

I forgot the date when i called actually an she asked

>>>Kathy<<< Are you all with the New Beetle Group?

>>>Charles<<< Yes indeed!

>>>Kathy<<< Do you smoke at all?

>>>Charles<<< No not at all

>>>Kathy<<< Ok no problem! Uh oh, we have a little issue here, seems like we're almost out of rooms with the King Beds. Will it be ok if you have a room with 2 single beds?

>>>Charles<<< I'm fine with whatever you have.

>>>Kathy<<< Ok, so i'll have you down for whatever is available for non-smoking. Is that ok with you?

>>>Charles<<< That's perfect!

>>>Kathy<<< Ok so thank you Charles for your reservation and we'll be looking forward to seeing you with the rest of the beetle group in May.


Close enough all! Really close!

Well anywho, i'm booked!!! If i get the double bed rooms, i'll be perfectly fine with sharing. But Steve_Pnchbug & Shawntina get first dibs on that room. Hopefully, my mom will have a bug and share the room with me by then .

We're going into year 3 and year one is still fresh in my memory. I'm so glad that I was a part of the Maiden Voyagers!

For the price, you can't beat it. And if some are wanting to share a room, the bargain is even greater! The booking method of the "Top" is a win-win for us; that's why we were strongly suggesting booking now... it's a no-brainer.

Nope! Especially since I have until Thursday before that friday to cancel if I need to w/o being charged.

$3x bucks a night for 3 nights? Thats an entire weekend's stay for ~$100! You can't beat that just about anywhere!

Congrats Carla! (I hope I got your name right) Now comes the hard part. WAITING TEN MONTHS!!!!!!!!! It was so nice meeting you and your family!

[Beetlescott]

Gary, how many have booked for next year? And when I booked my room, I didn't even ask the price!!!! How much are the rooms?
