If you're staying at one of the hotels we've selected, you can now start making reservations. Here are some details:

- It turns out the InterContinental now going up a block and a half from our reception site will not be finished in time for our wedding. Bummer. But to compensate us, they moved our room block up the hill to the InterContinental Mark Hopkins. Swankerrific! Here's the URL. Same rate, much, MUCH better view. It's still the most expensive of our selections. But they still have the latest cut-off date, so there's time to decide.

- It looks like most everyone is making reservations at Hotel Rex, which is great because then we can all meet up for drinks in the salon downstairs. You'll want to book the Hotel Rex now, before the holidays take up all your time. They gave us a 60-day cut-off date rather than a 30-day. That means Dec. 22 is the deadline. Be sure to ask for a AAA discount, if you have a membership.
