Fall Tour Do-Over

Fall Tour Do-Over, May 1-3, 2009.
Longfellows, Saratoga Springs, New York.

Our 2008 rain cancelled September 26-28 Fall Run to Saratoga Springs has been rescheduled as a "Spring Shakedown Run" for Friday-Sunday, May 1-3. The TYP 356 Northeast members that signed up last fall have a one night deposit that will be honored in May by Longfellows Hotel & Conference Center.

Our Saratoga weekend will follow the much appreciated "More Free Time" format developed by Tourmeister Don Osborne for our 2008 Woodstock Spring Tour. If you are interested in joining the 15 couples already signed up for a great weekend in the Adirondacks, our group name is: "The Porsche Group" and Longfellows reservation number is 518-587-0108.

The negotiated nightly rate for the two nights of May 1 & 2 is $155. per night (plus 9.5% NY taxes and $2 housekeeping gratuity). The accommodations are exceptional and our rooms include a number of two story loft king and loft double queens. Early birds will get first choice.

We will forage for food among the 100+ restaurants found along the old streets of Saratoga Springs on Friday evening. Our meal plan at the resort includes two Country Inn Breakfast Buffets @ $12.50 (+ tax per person) plus a Barbeque/Buffet on Saturday evening @ $29.50 (+tax per person). We will also have a cash bar on Saturday evening.

Norm Brust has planned a two hour and twisty Adirondack drive around Great Sacandaga Lake for Saturday. If you want to wander or browse, the town of Saratoga Springs offers incredible antiquing, shopping, an exceptional antique auto museum, and the National Museum of Horse Racing and Hall of Fame.

Our run, for most, will start Friday morning from southern New Hampshire. After 45 minutes on 1-93 & I-89, we will traverse NH and VT on Rte 9, hopefully hooking up with our southern and western members in Brattleboro, VT. In Wilmington, VT we’ll find a spot for lunch. By mid afternoon, a water/gas stop at Hemmings in Bennington should make our timing work for a check in at Longfellows by late afternoon.

If you’re interested in a great TYP356 Northeast Spring Shakedown Run with Porsche friends, Saratoga Springs for the first weekend in May will be your opportunity.
