I personally thought the boat we had was perfect for 50 people but I am sure with how much fun we had we may need a bigger boat for more people next year. Therefore, I was just showing everyone an example of what USC Alumni Club of OC Beach Cities puts this on every year. I received an e-mail from the club a couple weeks ago for this event and I noticed the boat in the harbor when we were on our cruise. The price for the Yacht for this event is $100 per person. So the simple answer is:

Yes, this would be a private event for HB people we would just have to work out the details.

Hopefully where the boat that would be used would be close to a reasonable sized airport, some folks might have to fly in...................and it wouldn't hurt if it was within driving distance to Vegas too.

Just suggestions though, hopefully not flying into LAX, that place sucks.

The Newport light cruise is a LONG standing tradition, I started going about 25 years ago... My FIL used to do private charters/tours and the Newport Christmas light tours were always a busy time for him...

SNA (John Wayne) or LGB (Long Beach) is close to the Newport dealio...

Agreed on LAX however, the "FLY AWAY" shuttle that runs out of LAX is AWEEEEESOME, I have renewed interest/faith in LAX...

It's a bit of a haul to Vegas for a weekend dealio... ;)

I just hope that I'm still allowed on this website this time next year so I can go on this cruise. My sense of humor sometimes gets me in trouble...

It takes a lot to get banned here really. Mean spirited or personal attacks are the fastest ways. You can ask Grads what the others are lol

Honestly I think you'll be fine. :D

He may have mistaken HB for the other site where people get permanently banned and they don't even post on the site.

I'll be on the folks 55'er. We head down on the 18th to help decorate, and sail on the 19th. I'll keep an eye out for that beast and post up pics of the Newport parade. Always a great family time....

I have a feeling you're going to need to book a different hotel this time. I think you guys are blacklisted.

Fly into John Wayne and stay at the Hyatt. There are definitely looks and shuttles so Joey don't have to drive he can drink a lot!!

We're gonna need a bigger one next year. At one point I think there was 17+ people in this one. The driver got a little squeamish lol

Maybe one of those Hummer deals next year :D

We should all stay at the same hotel. That makes it way easier and more fun!

Ideas for next year:

ELI and NGE DON'T DRINK AT ALL!

[Music to my Ears]

I would sure like to join the party next year but the only weekend of the year that I can't get out of is the first weekend of December. So if by chance it's another weekend in December, then count me in. Looks like when he'll of a party we missed!:partyguy:
