Cleveland Renaissance St. Patrick's Day Package

St. Patrick's Day isn't really a hotel holiday but maybe it should be, after all, having a nice clean room to fall into at the end of the evening's festivities sounds rather nice. The Renaissance Cleveland hotel offers a St. Patrick's Day package that makes it convenient to enjoy Cleveland's parade. They have two packages, the Leprechaun and the Pot O Gold. The Pot O Gold includes a night in a suite, two pints of Conway's Irish Ale, two corned beef sandwiches and a full bottle of Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey. The annual St. Patrick's Day Parade takes place on Monday, March 17, 2008 at 1 p.m.

Parade of Ferraris Sets New World Record

Here's a fun traffic jam to be a part of: a group of 385 Ferraris parading down the Silverstone circuit in England. It happened just a week or so ago on June 9th as part of a celebration to mark the company's anniversary year. Just a few of the models present were a 250 California Spider, a 275GTB/C, FXX, F40, F50 and an Enzo. The total value of all the Ferraris involved is estimated to be more than $118.4 million.

For the event the cars traveled slowly over a 2 mile course, made sure to stay within 2 car lengths of each other, and were counted both at the beginning and at the end. A representative from Guinness World Records certified the event as a new world record and presented Ferrari officials with a certificate.

What? No certificates for the individual owners/drivers? Bummer.
