Between the virus and losing my job, I knew my August reservation was going to be taken off the table. It was sad enough knowing I would not be there for Mother's Day weekend. The next time we were set to go down was for the car show weekend in September, which I have attended for the past 19 years (we even got married and honeymooned down there a week before that weekend). After some thought, we decided to go ahead and send our deposit for those dates, whether or not they actually have the car show.
It's been a rough several months and I can't imagine not going down at all. Even if everything is closed, just being there will be a breath of fresh air. I know things can change but I am hoping that by the end of September everything will be a little more settled down.
Sorry to hear about your job. Hopefully you are getting some unemployment to make it through. As for the car show, according to the worker at Snow White...all events planned for this year have been cancelled...including the fall events like the car show and Irish Week. I'm sure some things will be open during your visit in September and you'll have a good time.
Thanks. Losing my job actually had good timing since homeschooling my autistic son is basically it's own full time job. As for the car show, while I would love for it to still be on, it's completely understandable if it does get cancelled. This trip is more about just being down there. As long as I can look out at the ocean I'll be happy. (A slice of Mack's won't hurt either...lol)
Sorry to hear about the challenges you have been facing. The beach does have a certain healing quality about it, and a trip to Wildwood is good for the soul.
It definitely does!
we too have our September car show hotel all lined up and ready to go.. Hope its a go
I think it could work if they space the cars out more, even if it means not all of the cars being shown on the boardwalk but also in the parking lot. Either way, I will be very happy to be down there.
The cars are 6 ' away from each other as it is on the boards. Middle of one car to the middle of the next car is probable closer to 12'
Oh wow, I never realized that. In that case I guess there isn't much they can change. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Sorry to hear about your current situation, it was a close call for me but I survived. I hope you enjoy yourself when you go, you deserve it!
Thank you! I saw your post about possibly not coming down. Were you able to make a reservation?
I decided against making reservations this year. Still too much uncertainty for me. If things look extremely positive in August, I'll see if I can get a room for a night or two. If not, I hope to do the 6 hour round trip for a day trip. Leave my house at 4 a.m, get back 9 at night!
It's also a 6 hour round trip for me and I've made that trip many times :)
