ASILOMAR HOTEL 3-DAYS COUPLES' RETREAT
Details
This event is for members who are in committed, long-term relationship.
We are keeping the group small (10 members). If enough interest, we can repeat this event in the near future.
CRAIG AND I WILL TRY VERY HARD TO GET THERE BY AROUND 11 AM ON FRIDAY TO ENJOY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THIS GORGEOUS PLACE.

Craig and I will be staying in Asilomar Hotel and Conference Grounds checking in on Friday, August 7th and checking out on Monday, August 10th.
We do not have a fixed schedule... What's the point of that when the purpose is to just relax, smell the ocean, go tide pooling, walk along the coast, stroll on the beach... However, we do have a tentative plan for us and you can join us or do your own thing.
FRIDAY:
We will arrive early, around 11 pm, have lunch, go down the beach, walk along the coast, maybe swim in the heated pool.
Every Friday, from 6:00 pm-9:00pm, the hotel hosts a band. We will be listening and dancing to Tsunami.
TSUNAMI MUSIC
After we are done dancing, we could go down the beach (it's right there) and enjoy the moonlight or go to the fireplace area to relax and chit-chat.
SATURDAY COASTAL WALK: 5+ miles (on your own OR together).
A couple years ago, Craig and I walked 10.3 miles along the coast and down the beach... ON SANDALS! It was wonderful!

SUNDAY PLAN: POINT LOBOS ? (IT'S A THOUGHT)
We may go to Point Lobos for a hike or continue our coastal adventure down to Monterey and Pacific Grove.
From the hotel, it takes less than 30 minutes to arrive to Point Lobos.
PARKING: $10
Parking inside the park is very limited (75 spaces for an extremely popular place). If you plan on parking inside, I suggest to get there before 9:00 am. Otherwise, there is plenty of parking spaces alongside Highway 1.
