Travel Information:
* For those of you planning on coming into town on Friday night, Kim and I have 2 spare beds as well as floor space.
* If you are coming from West or Central Florida and ARE NOT coming in Friday night, please note that coming down and across I-75 will be the LONG way to the meet. Your best bets will be to to take I-4, SR-60, SR-70 or some other cross-state road to the Turnpike.
* Exit the Turnpike at LAKE WORTH RD. Make a left at the exit (going East on Lake Worth Rd). Make a left on PINEHURST DRIVE. This road will take you through a resendital neighborhood but will eventually take you straight into the park.
Saturday night entertainment will be at BOOMERS in Boca Raton.
They have Batting Cages, GoKarts, Bumper Boats, MiniGolf and a Video Arcade. Boomers link (http://www.boomersparks.com/park/bocaraton/index.html).
Some things there can be pricey. Please plan accordingly.
Hotel Information:
Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites - Boca Raton, Town Center

Hotel Website (http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hotel/bctss?rpb=rate&crUrl=/h/d/hi/1/en/rates/bctss%3Fias%3Dy&ias=y)
Beacuse this is still tourist season, there is no group rate available.
Prices are generally about $125.00
Work out roommate situations in CEG PM's please.
==================================================
These are fun meetings. I plan to go over for the day on Saturday: picnic in the park & dinner, but not Boomers or overnight.
Closer to the meet, there will probably be a sign-up for food, etc for the park. I'll let you know.
Jan 27 edit: WAKE UP!!
Let me know here if you're going. Mike & I have been to a few of these - we want more "trolls" (non Contours) like us to show up.
For anyone new to NECO or CEG: Cougars, Contours & Mystiques are all Ford Mondeo based cars. We have a lot of similarities, and Contour SVT parts are often used for Coug upgrades. (SVT Lite engine upgrade, for instance.)
