[IndigoBlueWagon]

My son may come, and cevans made noises about coming out. However, neither are confirmed. I booked a second room in case.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Okay.

 

[pparks1]

Add me to the list of attendees. I just filled out the survey tonight.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Cool! Will the missus be joining you, as well?

 

[pparks1]

Yeah, she is planning to come for the dinner on Friday night as she did last year.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

One month to go!

I may have to ride with you guys again.......the Jetta Hybrid is being delivered to its new owner tomorrow......don't know when the new Jetta will arrive...

That's fine! We'll have an extra seat and snow tires! They're sitting in the driveway waiting until after Christmas to go on the Passat... don't want to wear them out too soon.

I might be able to make this, but I won't be staying at a flashy place like the Marriott, instead I'll couchsurf in Windsor and take the bus across to meet you guys in Cobo Hall. Sorry I can't do better guys.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

That would be cool! We'll take whatever Meistering we can get.

Let me know for sure (and take the quiz) so I can add you to the list.

 

[JDSwan87]

So kind of an odd question but when you guys get in the D do you park on Cobo Roof deck?

 

[tomo366]

Local Parking Garage within a couple blocks

[VeeDubTDI]

Who is bringing the super awesome "bull$#¡+" CAH pack?

You!

 

[JDSwan87]

Lol... Nope!! You DID hear about it I'm ASSuming...

 

[Nash_TDI]

We will bring it out if we don't wear it out by then.

 

[higgledy]

Welcome! Be sure to pack some warm clothes! Some years the weather isn't bad, but one year it was -20F that weekend (I think that was 2009?).

I was there that year. Colder than a witch's umm ....

Yeah my old 1.6TD wasn't too happy about it, but I got her going! Talk about clouds.

 

[donDavide]

PSA: 10 days left to make your hotel reservations and get our group discount rate. If you're on the fence, remember that you can cancel your reservation without penalty (up to a certain date, which I can't remember at the moment).

 

[JDSwan87]

Count my wife and I in for Saturday activities. What time does breakfast start?

If you're a Marriott rewards member you can cancel the day of I believe

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Saturday breakfast starts at 7am. Leave at 8am, 30 minute drive to detroit, 15 minutes to park, 15 minutes to distribute tickets, in the doors when they open at 9am.

The rest of the schedule is in the first post. I have tweaked some of the times from where they were before, which should result in a little less exhaustion at the end of the day by getting out of the show a little earlier.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

I can cancel up to 6:00 PM on day of arrival. Don't know if that's Marriott Rewards specific or not.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

I thought it was some super lenient policy like that. No reason for not booking a room in advance.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

That's why I tend to book more than one. Just in case someone decides to come at the last minute.

 

[airwolf]

Add me to the list. Hotel reservations made.
