LashPair Tour - Hearst Castle Booking Time !!!!

lashbear · 12-29-2008, 03:14 AM

Hi all,

We’ve arrived at the time of the year when we need to nail down the various tours, etc. that we will be doing on our odyssey.

Hearst Castle tours are the first ones we are booking, and the times we are booking are listed below:

Friday April 17th, 6:30pm - Tour 5, Night Tour. (52 places vacant) http://hearst.reserveamerica.com/tourDetails.do?contractCode=CA&tourId=20252

Saturday April 18th, 10:20am - Tour 3, North Wing of Casa Grande. (12 places vacant) http://hearst.reserveamerica.com/tourDetails.do?contractCode=CA&tourId=20300&cat=1

Saturday April 18th, 12:20pm - 2 hours for lunch & the IMAX movie at the Visitors Centre

Saturday April 18th, 2:20pm - Tour 4, Garden Tour. (12 places vacant)
http://hearst.reserveamerica.com/tourDetails.do?contractCode=CA&tourId=20251

It looks like the Garden Tour might fill up quickly, which is why we chose the 2:20pm; it has the most vacant spots - so we suggest you get in early before the spots are all gone. We are sorry we can’t book all folk in one lump, but you should be able to each book a place yourselves in the designated times, before the tours fill up.

Cheers,
The LashPair.

I am sure you will have a wonderful time; Hearst Castle is one of my favorite places. Keep an eye out for animals on the bus ride up the mountain!

I won't be able to do any booking until Friday...hopefully it will all still be available.

lashbear · 12-29-2008, 05:17 PM

I think it should - unless 12 LoTters get in first

(most of the tours seemed to have 14 places, so no general public has booked as yet - I think it's still a little too early for most. Thank goodness !

Mousey Girl · 12-30-2008, 11:06 AM

Well, The good thing is, that if I do miss out, I won't feel too bad. The only tour I haven't done is the night tour. Trust me when I say I have no trouble amusing myself at the coast.

I can't leave Thurston alone in the hotel room, so we will be tag teaming the tours if we go. I'm more interested in laying on the rocks on Moonstone Beach.

I have made my reservations. I was able to get all 3. YEAH!!

Lash,

Crystal and I booked the 2:20 Saturday garden tour. It's about 65-35 that we can go at this point, but I wanted to reserve our spots. If these spots are needed by someone who is certain they are going, let me know and we'll either cancel or transfer the reservation over. But as of now, we hope to see you mid-April.

Where's everyone staying (or where should i book a room)? We love staying at Ragged Point but i think we would want something closer to Hearst Castle.

San Simeon and Cambria are both close to Hearst Castle -- San Simeon is closer, but Cambria has more hotels and restaurants. Check with your local AAA rep (I happen to know a great one if you want help).
