SoCal Get Together

[eslai]

I'd have to wake up no later than 5:00 to get there by 6:30. On a Saturday morning?!

But, don't let me hold y'all back, if you want to do 6:30, be my guests.

I'm in!

San Diegans - how about coming up and spending the night near Laguna, so we can form en masse?
:dance:

If you don't mind dropping some serious ducket$$ stay at the Montage Resort.

[slogans7]

LOL, that's why I suggested "near, not "in" Laguna!

[eslai]

Hmm... Montage is booked that weekend already. Anyone have any recommendations on places to stay up there? There's the Surf and Sand, but it isn't air conditioned and they say it's a bit dated... no likey.

[slogans7]

eslai - depends on how much you want to pay. I would look around Dana Point or San Clemente (my fair city) where the rates tend to be lower. There's a County Inn by the 5 Freeway at Pico in San Clemente that's pretty good. There are also a couple of places across from San Clemente Pier (The Sea Horse is one) but I don't know anything about them.

Hmm.. I'm having a hard time finding rooms at anything in that area that isn't, well, I wouldn't go so far as to call them "dirt bag" hotels, but they all seem pretty old.

What are the "nice" hotels in Orange County? Any ideas? Other than that Montage place (which is admittedly, a little over-the-top as far as room prices go) I haven't found anything that seems modern and nice.
