Default Woodward dream cruise 2014

Ok guys and gals forget the snow!!--we are only 189 days to Woodward dream cruise. Aug 16-17/2014--- I have been just talking to the Marriott in Troy (where we stayed last year) I have booked a 15 room block at $84.00/per night (as aposed to $134.00/per night) they will send me the contract and I will post up when we can start to fill these. I think everyone had a great time last year!! Good tour down the seaway to the ferry at Sombra--Joe (Sickvet) did some grilling at the hotel for the crew--and we got to see HardCore Pawn in Detroit as a side trip. If anyone has any idea's on how to improve the tour--let me know. I am always open to new idea's--so stay posted--when I get the T's and C's of the contract I will post a block number to book under.

Great to have the usuals that make the trip special--and Mikey back in the fold--we missed him last year!! You bringing bleach or just going up to Pontiac Mike??? Hehehehe We where making noise about bringing a grill next year we have 2 grill masters coming (Mike and Joe) so as time goes by we can decide if that is an avenue we want to pursue!!! I think everyone like the parking spots we had--I won't lock into a contract this time with the guy this year--but if we get there early enough like we do every year anyway--we can get the same spot!!! It is pretty central--I am still working on a deal with a tavern owner where Linamar is setting up to get in there!!! Lots of time to figure out!!!! Is it summer yet??--gotta go blow out the driveway again!! Hmmmmm

We are also part of a booked block at the Courtyard Marriott in Troy. We booked several weeks ago and will be travelling down with several others from up our way. We've never been but are really looking forward to the weekend with great Corvette friends..

Default Contract is signed with Marriot

I have just signed and scanned back to the Marriott our block room agreement for Woodward 2014. By this Wednesday-Feb 12/2014 you should be able to phone the Marriot Courtyard at 1525 Maple Road, Troy, MI and reserve a room under "Corvette Club of Canada". I have 15 rooms (so far) set aside in this block. 1(800) 321-2211 or (248) 528-2800--July 25th is the cut off date. These rooms are all King (you can call early enough and negiotate 2 doubles) size beds--$84.00 / night.+ plus state tax currently 9.5%. Breakfast is not included. Would everyone like to do Hard Core Pawn again?? I am starting to assemble the routes and logistics for the 3 day venture. I see the Innisville crew is staying at the same venue---if we want to hook up for the drive down that would be awesome!! Any questions let me know!!!

$84.00??? I think we'll be making a phone call.

I'm sure we can set something up so we can travel down together. Once the 5' of snow melts...

We've done that the last 2 March Breaks, met some very nice forum members down there that have been looking for a reason to cruise up this way - will pass it along.
