Welcome to XMarksTheScot, and especially to the regimented NorCal rabble. Look forward to meeting you there.

Post a mug shot (or at least the pleats

) over on the new member sub-forum so the world-wide support group can meet you too.

Can we get an exact address of the site of the dinner?

The F-H.C.A.G. and I would like to look in to nearby hotels.

Cheers

Look a wyas up the threads, James. Madalyn did some research for you, already!

As far as I can from google the Hall's address is:

555 Buel Ave.
Pacifica, CA

I'll use that to gauge the distance to the nearby hotels

Cheers

Here's Madalyn's information on the hall and nearby hotels (again?)

Directions to the American Legion Hall:

Coming from the north (i.e., from San Francisco) via Highway 1 south through Pacifica, the freeway becomes a highway with cross streets. At the second stoplight turn left (from the far left-turn lane) onto Fassler Ave. (Note the 3 hotels on the ocean side of Highway 1.) Make an immediate left (in a left-turn lane) on Rockaway Beach Ave. and at the first stop sign turn right on to Buel and the Hall (555 Buel) is on your left. Parking is available on the west and east sides of the building.

Coming from Highway 280 heading north (i.e., from San Jose) take the Highway 35 off-ramp (Skyline Drive) to Pacifica. At the 4th stoplight you turn left on Sharp Park Road. Continue west until the road ends and make a right-hand look onto Highway 1 south towards Half Moon Bay and second stoplight, etc. etc.

Hotels:

All these hotel are a 2-3 block walk away from the American Legion Hall. Or maybe someone who isn't drinking (not bloody likely) could drive them over. I checked the minimum prices for a double room without an ocean view. All these hotels are within 1/2 block of the beach and Nick's Restaurant for Sunday morning brunch (which I recommend). Check their webpages as sometimes the rates will be less, particularly within the 30 days before the 20th of January.

Pacifica Motor Inn $65-75 200 Rockaway Beach Ave (650) 359-7700 www.pacificamotorinn.com

Holiday Inn Express $117-122 519 Nick Gust Way (650) 355-3000 www.hiepacifica.com

Best Western Lighthouse $179 105 Rockaway Beach Ave (650) 355-6300 www.bestwesternlighthouse.com
