I have decided to make a weekend out of this trip, so the woman and I are going to stay in Monterey/Carmel overnight. Any recommendations for a nice hotel? Anybody else interested in staying up there?

Congrats on your soon to be new G, Paul. Welcome to Driver and the NorCal section, as well. Glad to see that you will be able to us. It's quite a friendly group, as you will see for yourself real soon.

LOL . . . Paul (urban), can we call you by your other name in public? . . . LOL

Boris,

What a sport you are. You might stay at the La Playa. It's our favorite place to stay at in Carmel. For a good restaurant, give Anton Michel a try. They have a great rack of lamb for 2, which is prepared at the table.

If you two decide to stay in Monterey . . . The Monterey Plaza is a good choice. The ocean view rooms afford for a nice setting. It's just steps away from the Cannery Row.

Boris,

If you're looking for a good restaurant to hit up on your way back, I'd suggest Shadowbrook in Capitola. It's a really nice place to bring the woman... great scenery, ambience, food.

Are there going to be any pre-meet ups before the big push down the coast? I don't think I will be able to make the full run but would like to try to make any pre-meet ups.

If not....there is always next time

Look at list? I dont think that will be a problem, we got Paul who is in 20k club, Andy is in 10k club and he will be in 20k by end of summer , mborel7052, skeleton_cru, machavez702 and ajayjuneja are approaching 10k, then there are Disco_Monkey and vodkarocket who knows what they have now ...sure is sweet to have money laying around for Modds.

16. Paul- Count me in.. The dealer just called and said the car should be in by the end of May. I craving the G so bad I went to the dealer on Sunday just to sit in one.
And looks like we might have other one in 10k club soon...

We always used to stay at the Cypress Tree Inn on Fremont St. It's an old place and the rooms are straight out of the 70's, but they have a great location and in room hot tubs.
