Also I would be remiss if I didn't add to the theme song effort with at least a tribute to Glen Frey who we tragically lost and will greatly miss......Take it easy Glen, may we all "Take It easy, take it easy

drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand

I just e-mailed you the itinerary - with pictures - and apologies for the delay (big e-mail issues much of the day). Hopefully you received it by now?
Best regards,

Excellent. Well done! David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Glenn Frey. If these aren't [somber] reminders to enjoy life each and every day, including driving your F-Type, I don't know what is.

Jay, for organizational purposes, do you think you can edit the original post of this thread to include the latest itinerary, the doodle signup, and the hotel information? I was able to find it all by combing the thread, but the haystack will continue to grow between now and then.
Hope you will join our growing group of merry men and women.
Best regards,
Jay
***Here's an idea: Delete the entire thread and simply post this last itinerary - under a newly created thread - and maybe U can post a new "doodle"????

Link To Hotel
Group Corporate Travel Booking Page
I can also suggest - and would if I were you - calling in your reservation to:
Josef Kijewski
Rooms & Revenue Supervisor
207.808.8723
jkijewski@thepresshotel.com
That link is for those arriving on Thursday and departing on Sunday but, as Josef has told me, the user (you) can reduce the length of their stay [still] using the above link

As Ricky stated.....every day is a gift, and our F-Types and enjoying them is a part of this gift. People that are good and around us in our lives with each and every interaction is "perfection" when nice meets nice. Our world has changed, our Rock will never change and defines who we all are. Peace brother.
