I'm finally done setting the itinerary for our upcoming HearsTT Castle Rally. The roads are mapped out, reservations and deposits are made, and everything's pretty much done.

I believe we'll end up with around 50 attendees. This will be one of those snooze and you lose deals, as I will be asking everyone to book very early. Saturday, December 1 is the date of the Annual Morro Bay Lighted Boat Parade, and rooms will sell out early.

Also, I have placed deposits on some of the functions, and if I don't kill open spots way in advance, I am personally on the hook, and that just isn't going to happen.

As of this writing, we have 37 reservations. I am capping this event at 50.

Firm attendees need to do the following:

1. Book rooms directly with the Inn at Morro Bay. Their number is 800-321-9566. Identify yourself as a member of the "Audi TT Group". We have a discounted rate of only $99 per night, which is a steal for such a nice hotel. You'll find a link to the hotel's website below.

2. E-mail me with your firm expression of interest. I'll be providing an address where you can send me $100 per person (for the Sat brunch, wine tasting/winery tour, Sat dinner, Sunday Champagne brunch on a riverboad and Hearst Castle tour, movie). The $100 per person will be 50%refundable if you cancel no less than 1 week before the event.
