Corrections made 3-7-15 from previous post..

Ohio State plays Hawaii that Sat. We were thinking the influx of fans from Hawaii will not amount to many bookings into local hotels. The cluster of hotels used by the group in the past is in Gahanna (Taylor Rd./ Morrison Rd. area) less than three miles from PUB. We are arranging a better rate at one. It is a nice area but we are also looking to arrange security overnight for the cars in a designated parking area. This is just for some extra piece of mind. We have never had any issues. Anyway there is a Marriott Towne Place Suites (primary) , Candlewood Suites, Spring Hill Suites and a Holiday Inn Express all within a block of each other. There are other nice choices in the area, This information will follow with all the contact iformation soon. PUB is about three miles from Port Columbus International Airport. You will be able to wave at your comrades from the PUB grounds, as their flights are landing. The planes pass directly overhead.

Yes, with Ohio State being the Defending National College Football Champions, home game week-ends can be busy. Lots more info soon.

Hotels,

Guys,

I am signing a room blocking agreement with Marriott this week for 40+ rooms. Since no hotels in the area are willing to dedicate that many in one property, the rooms will be split between the Marriott Springhill Suites and the Marriott Towneplace suites, which are adjacent and share a parking lot. These are the closest to Joe's, and we are planning to have the parking lot patrolled on Friday and Saturday night. We are also trying to coordinate our Saturday night dinner at a Steakhouse across the street. The hotels agreed to give us a rate which is $30 less than their rack rate and $20 less than the AAA rate. We'll post more when I finalize the contract. Hang in there. I know everyone is eager to get plans made. We'll have much more to post in the next week or two.

@UJJ - There's a good chance I'll be attending, I'm in Minneapolis... trying to finalize my calendar for the Summer / Fall. We could meet here in the Cities and head south together if you want.. then pick up the Chicago caravan. Not sure what all the logistics will look like, but a train of 10+ W113s rolling through Wisconsin would be cool.

I know some good 2 lane / smaller highway options through WI to get to Chicago that I use to get to Elkhart Lake that would make things far more interesting that I94 the whole way... even if it does take a little longer. (as per photo below)

@ Panzer82
That is cool that you are planning to go too. Yes, we could meet in the cities and hook up with the caravan in Chicago.
I like that idea a lot. We'll keep in touch.

Have changed around my plans for Sept and am planning to attend the event. However, I will not be doing any kind of caravaning from Southern Cal!

Rolf-Dieter ✝︎ · « **Reply #56 on:** March 09, 2015, 16:25:34 »

Hi Jonny,

That will be a long trip for you, will you be driving? If so will you do the Route 66 trip? Or will you fly?

mmizesko · « **Reply #57 on:** March 09, 2015, 17:16:00 »

OK Team,

I have signed the booking agreement with Marriott for the two adjacent Properties near Joe's. We are planning to have surveillance in the parking lots for Friday and Saturday nights from dusk till dawn. Both Hotels have Kitchens and Kitchenettes. You can come in a day early or leave a day later and have the same rate, if you book before 8/21/15. These rates are $25 to $30 below the rack rate and $20 below the AAA rates for a OSU Football Weekend in Columbus. There are other properties in Columbus as well, but we will not be able to have a security guard in the parking lots for other properties. We cannot be responsible for any Pagoda Owners who wish to sleep in their vehicles with Firearms.

The link is below to make reservations. We will build stickys under the Events category for PUB in the next week or two. This is going to be GGREATT!

Mike

Thanks for figuring all this out Mike, I just tried to book using the link provided at the Towne Place Suites and noticed it only allowed me to book Friday and Saturday nights, checking out on Sunday. I called to add Sunday night, so I can check out Monday... then start the long drive back to Minnesota Monday morning as opposed to late Sunday afternoon, after the PUB activities.

They wouldn't extend the group rate for Sunday night. I had to book Sunday night at their 'lowest available rate'... I'm a AAA member, so it ended up being $132.

Looking forward to the weekend, meeting some group members face to face, seeing their cars and enjoying the road trip both ways!

mmizesko · « **Reply #59 on:** March 10, 2015, 01:02:58 »

Panzer,

I was assured the rate would be same for day early and day late.

I will call the lady in the am and get it straightened out. can you pm me with your name?

Mike

Jack Jones · « **Reply #60 on:** March 10, 2015, 02:18:25 »

I had my room booked for 3 nights before the special rate was introduced and called them to modify the price Mike negotiated and no problem for 3 nights.

UJJ · « **Reply #61 on:** March 10, 2015, 11:39:49 »

I just booked my room. 3 nights at the Marriot, no problems.
Looking forward to the nice ride and of course meeting you all.

mmizesko · « **Reply #62 on:** March 10, 2015, 16:39:22 »

Folks,

I was just informed by the hotel coordinator that if you only book on the web, the rate for "shoulder" dates (early arrival, late departure), won't show the low rate.

If you are planning to come in Thursday or leave Monday or Tuesday, you should call the hotel at 614-501-4770, or the 888-236-2427.

The notes for extending the rate to shoulder dates is in the system and the phone operators will see it.

NOPE tried to extend mine to Sunday night and told me same thing as yesterday... regular rate only. Disappointing

mmizesko · « **Reply #64 on:** March 10, 2015, 19:42:23 »

Baron,

You're all set for Sunday night at the low rate. Did you call the hotel , or the 888 #? My contact is reminding the team of our deal.

Mike

BaronYoungman · « **Reply #65 on:** March 10, 2015, 19:46:21 »

Thanks 888 number

Panzer82 · « **Reply #66 on:** March 12, 2015, 16:45:21 »

@mmizesko - thanks so much for handling that Mike, I talked to Leah today, she said you squared it all away.

Much appreciated, thanks.

Wooo Hooo

I got my self some Qantas FF tickets from Melbourne to LA and return via Hawaii in time for the 2015 PUB. Have a post PUB lift with one of the members from Blacklick to San Diego and now only need to get from LA to Pub via the easiest/cheapest means. So far Chicago appears to be it but still checking if I can connect up in other towns from LA.

All in it will take nearly two weeks for a two day car gig

I’m happy.

Hello Garry,

Going the other way ---> http://www.flighthub.com/flight/search?seg0_from=MEL&seg0_date=2015-09-09&seg0_to=YYZ&num_adults=1&num_children=0&num_infants=0&num_infants_lap=0&seat_class=Economy

Have a peek here ---> http://www.flighthub.com/flight/search?seg0_from=LAX&seg0_date=2015-09-10&seg0_to=YYZ&num_adults=1&num_children=0&num_infants=0&num_infants_lap=0&seat_class=Economy

Naturally I would give you a lift to PUB -----> http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=22094.msg157765#msg157765

I should have included Australia or New Zealand in this offer ... my bad I will edit my post

Garry · « **Reply #69 on:** March 18, 2015, 21:15:53 »

Hi Rolf-dieter,

Thanks for offer but at this point it looks like Chicago ($210) or Detroit ($175) are the cheapest for me to get to, even cheaper than going direct to Columbus OH ($300)

Urban, are you driving from Detroit and need a copilot? otherwise I will go in with the Mike and Mark group.

Garry

mdsalemi · « **Reply #70 on:** March 18, 2015, 21:23:42 »

Garry, it should be understood that you have a place to stay here, and someone to get you at the airport. No problem.

Garry · « **Reply #71 on:** March 18, 2015, 21:41:35 »

Thankyou Michael,

What day time do your area/group plan on leaving and are/were you joining up with the Canadians?

Also is there some members coming up from Atlanta with a spare seat as that is the easiest and cheapest place fro me to get to.

Garry

UJJ · « **Reply #72 on:** March 19, 2015, 11:15:45 »

@Garry

I'll travel through Minneapolis/St. Paul meet with Panzer 82 then to Chicago to Columbus OH.
If you fly into Chicago I can pick you up.

Hey Mike Mizesko ,

I just booked for nights of September Thursday 10th to Monday 14th, leaving on the 15th at Towne Place Suites.

After I mentioned the Pagoda SL group deal, I had to pay
group price for Thursday 10th > Saturday 12th inclusive,
full price for Sunday 13th and Monday 14th

I reminded the bookings clerk about the deal but she said full price for Sunday and Monday was correct.

The booking was made by calling the +1 614 501 4770 number.

My Booking ref # 84364419

I thought the prices for Sunday and Monday were part of the group deal agreement, but apparently not.

Can you confirm the information for me.

Thanks

Would appreciate Mke seeing if they can correct the booking
My booking reference Number is 84692403
