Pebble Beach Car Week = Vacation On A Schedule

Attending Pebble Beach Car Week* has nothing to do with leisurely wafting through the days in a typical “whatever happens” vacation mode.  The various Car Week events will have your schedule almost as busy as a normal work week.    With so many events to attend my best advice is to start with a plan and research events online as many overlap, especially when it comes to auctions.

 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance – The Lodge at Pebble Beach

Sunday, August 18, 2013I am completely serious when I suggest one schedule their trip, day by day, hour by hour.  Smart phones, with the alert set, come in really handy for keeping one on track for making the most of your time in Pebble Beach.  Schedule some down time and get your sleep now, this is no time for the snooze button.  Stop by next Saturday where I’ll have more to share on getting the most from your Pebble Beach experience.  Happy Motoring!

*You make have noticed some are calling Monterey Car Week, some call it Caramel Car Week and some title it Pebble Beach which makes the most sense in my mind.
