~ Countdown to Hushnic ~

[Brightness]

Given this is a further west locale, I thought it might be appropriate to start the "festivities" 42 days earlier than normal. . .

WHERE ARE YOU ON YOUR PLANNING AGENDA?

Anybody been making plans?

[Juicey1]

I have been looking at ticket prices and they are expensive flying from Dallas to the bay area. If I can scrap up a little over $300 for my airline ticket, then I will be there. I haven't even made reservations at the hotel yet. It is still Holiday Inn at Marine world, or Marine something isn't it?

[Pamalicious]

I just keep praying for a miracle, lol lol

are you all in agreeance with that hotel?

i don't want you all coming here and not liking what you are getting. I'd much prefer that everyone agree on a hotel, more importantly, agree what city you want to stay in.

something tells me we need a freakin online chat or tele conference lol

i'm not getting dialog out of no one but juicey, brite and tee!!!!!!

[seductive_tee]

Juicey....300.......girl i'm not trying to pay more than 250.00. They have a flight from BWI to SAC for $175, but you have to fly bune June 6 or something.

I say pick ONE hotel and say this is it. CA is a big place with too many options.

And this trip i may need a roommate........

[Brightness]

Have ya'll been looking on QUE's website. . . .you know he's got some travel agency "hustle" going on.







*smirk*
































I'm just playing. . .for real, his website has some legit stuff as far as pricing. I use a real travel agent and the prices are comparable to the specials she can get.

[Brightness]

Anybody been making plans?

I haven't made plan the 1st. . .not quite certain I'll be going this time around....we'll see.

I thought that was the hotel Admin said would be the official Hush Hotel, or did I read that wrong. I would like to stay in a hotel were the majority of the people are staying so that the Cali people won't have to drive all over to get us and drop us off. I do not plan on renting a car.

[HulaSista]

he did, but there's a few times after we posted that info that persons asked 'WHAT HOTEL' and it seems like no one was reading the threads.

So I want to make sure

1. everyone WHO IS GOING is in agreeance OR NOT for the hotel Holiday Inn Vallejo
2. everyone understand their transportation options when they get here
3. who is coming (this is most important)

when we travel out of cali, we are use to the high prices, so we work with the best we can. but since this is going to be an expensive trip for some of you, we want you all to understand the in's and out's of coming here cost wise.

i really think that those who are definitely coming, plane ticket bought or not, should chime in. right now it looks like 2-3 people coming. the more people we know are coming, the better we can gauge what we will do for you.

[sistuhchey]

I'm hoping the turn out is good....
looking forward to seeing everyone I met in Nawlin's...and MORE!!

lol,lol...but I understand...miracles...and plans, and $$scenarios...

WTH...I'm still taking the days off..it's a "Hush Holiday" :)

actually, we havent' changed the itinerary that we first posted.

where are you all staying at though?

tee are you still coming out a day or two earlier? if so, then, we can give you suggestion/help with that, if not, then,

lol

where are you all agreeing to stay?

[Brightness]

This is my first choice for hotel because of the proximity to things that I want to see or plan on doing.

Hilton San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf (http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/index.jhtml?moreDesc=true&ctyhocn=SFOFWHH)

[HulaSista]

Q1: What Was/is The General Criteria For Picking Hotel Offerings? To What Are We Trying To Be In Proximity? Are We Just Trying To Be Centrally Located For Convenience Of Airports? Are We Thinking In Relation To Where Activities Are Going To Take Place?

We chosed by city first based on hotel prices and what you will get for your money. We discussed putting you all up in SF and Oak but parking is daily and is expensive for those who would rent a car. IF YOU DON'T rent a car, then, you still should factor in money for public transportation!!!; the hotels in SF are smaller and a lil more expensive. Oakland... big town and not too good areas around the airport and the airport is a hefty drive from the down town action, more so around commute hours. To get a nice decent hotel we guessed you would have paid upto or over 100 a night and didn't know if that was fair. Plus, if you were not renting, cab or shuttle would still run you $12 - 20 per trip from the airport. (Guess-e-mation)

THURSDAY: We didn't plan anything for Thursday since that is usually the relax and chill day. because those of us who offered to pick some of you up from the airport live the furthest away, we hoped it would be fair that you all stay closer to where we live so we won't have to commute to your hotel or rent a hotel in our own state. but we need you to choose a city to stay in or agree to stay in vallejo.

FRIDAY: We only planned ONE day in SF for that friday, and you all will get there by ferry boat (1 DAY PASS ONLY - ROUND TRIP $17.00 ; prices just went up) or car (have not decided; based on how many people show up); then we will have dinner in Oakland that night . We hope to have enough cars to help everyone out even if it means everyone pitching in on a rental van. But nothing is concrete yet.

SATURDAY: Saturday is hush live at Admin's house and that's a 20-25min drive from Vallejo. Admin lives in Fairlfield.

SUNDAY: Nothing planned for Sunday except an impromptu breakfast if everyone is available.

Q3: I'm Assuming There Are Other Hotel Offerings In This Vicinity. Can We Get A "mini-listing" Of Several Other Hotel Chains To Choose From?

Here is a list of hotels in Vallejo that you can SAFELY stay:

Comfort Inn
(707) 648-1400 1185 Admiral Callaghan Ln

Days Inn
(707) 554-8000 300 Fairgrounds Dr

Holiday Inn Vallejo
(707) 552-9049 1000 Fairgrounds Dr

Motel 6
(707) 642-7781 458 Fairgrounds Dr

Motel 6
(707) 643-7611 1455 Marine World Pkwy

Quality Inn
(707) 643-1061 44 Admiral Callaghan Ln

I wouldn't want you all anywhere else in Vallejo. . Discuss with us your transportation situation so that we can help you decide what is best. (if you need shuttle service, you'll need to do door to door and that's pretty damn expensive; or shuttle direct to holiday in ($28 one way; again, prices just went up) and catch a cab/someone give you a ride to your non holiday in hotel)


Know that there is a lot of driving either on us or on you to get to where ever the group wants to circulate, and personally, you all can vote on what you want to do thursday, friday and saturday and decide for yourselves what city you will stay in. Also factor in your need for a rental car, or some money for public transportation to get around and there is 7 days a week traffic on all highways and all streets in SF. Nothing is a quick drive or ride to any other point!

If you all decide you want to stay in Oakland, choose a hotel in downtown

If you all decide you want to stay in SF, choose downtown, fisherman's wharf or union square area.

Other cities you CAN look for hotels that are good areas and off the freeway (easy access): Emeryville

Between these cities, I wouldn't recommend any other city, because, if you don't know the bay and dont' understand the lay out... you MIGHT get lost or find yourself in a hotel we wouldn't even put our own relatives in for stay. you can even find yourself too far out of the way. My cousins come to visit us and he stays in a hotel in Pleasanton. he LOVES to drive, and sight see, so, it doesn't bother him driving 30-1 hour each trip between relatives homes and his hotel... but i don't think you all want to do all that right? so verify your cities when looking at hotels.

Folks who are coming or think you're coming, who have not chimed in, you all better say something! If it doesn't matter, then, say that as well.

additionally, you don't have to do anything we planned. you can use this time for vacation and hang out with us for dinner on one of these days or hushlive on saturday. just discuss things with us so we can keep you up to date.

this is your vacation. do what you feel comfortable. if you stay out in oak or sf or emeryville, make sure you have your own ride or arrange to car pool to get to hushlive at admin's house in fairfield.

LOL......I'm not a big fan of my lips, actually really self-conscious because I got teased growing up but the ladies @ the MAC counter just love to swarm over to me and slick me up with something.

This is Palatial lustreglass (14.50). . .of which I'm running low and will gladly accept the gift of a refill. . .just because it'd be the nice thing to do.

There's a counter at that Nordstrom's in the 5-story mall in downtown S.F. . . .you know the one. . .a couple of blocks from where the street cars turn around. .. near that Kenneth Cole & Virgin record stores.

I know the locations of MAC stores in several states in case of emergency.

Thanks for the invite.........But you know I'm still trying to work out a way to come.

Its my own damned fault. I said last year after the Atlanta Hushnic, that I was going to put money to the side for my trip to Cali this year. Well I kept putting that off and procrastinating. Things come up here and there and I just didn't do it. I have got to do better.......... :(
