So... if we go with a hotellish thing, it won't matter exactly how many are going. But if we go with a home rental, it will DEFINITELY matter because we need to put a deposit down on most of them.

So. Who's thinking of coming?

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm loving those vacation rentals. The price and privacy are spot on.

So, perhaps now, seeing as we're under the 2 month mark and availability is going to quickly be an issue, we should take the next day or so to get a head count.

CP & Me, LSPE & Tom, NA & € are definites. bluerica was an early maybe, don't know her status. Mousepod & H are going, whether they know it or not, even if we have to kidnap them. iSm? You going to uncurmudgeon enough to go, and bring your elusive boyfriend?

Tahoe is further than we'd be willing to go, seeing as we need to be back to LAX for an afternoon flight on Monday. It's on the California/Nevada border, at the point where the border goes from straight north-south to angled to the southeast. About an 8 hour drive.

[Not Afraid]

Tahoe is too far for a weekend trip. Sadly, so is Big Sur - which has some fantastic options.

[LSPoorEeyorick]

8 hours? Then... Tahoe can suck it, Trebeck.

Once when I was looking at Ojai for a previous stay, I came upon the Emerald Iguana Inn and her sister, the Blue Iguana, and I made a note of them as lovely places for a future stay, particularly for a creative vacation. Unfortunately, I don't know if we could fill either place entirely ourselves, and the Green Iguana, at least, is probably a little over our target price range.

But look, pretty...

The Emerald Iguana is adults only has only 5 rooms left that weekend at $209.00 per night.

The Blue Iguana is the family friendly resort and only has 4 rooms available.

Issue with these smaller hotels is you are breaking up a weekend. They prefer Friday / Saturday night stays instead of Saturday / Sunday.

Columbus Day is not a major holiday weekend. I am checking to see what I can find and should post some ideas tomorrow. My guess it looks like 5 to 7 rooms?

Ack, don't have time to do so at the moment, but someone PM the possible people, in case they aren't opening the thread!

I'm blown away by the lovely homes we could have all to ourselves!!
