FAQs
Q: What do I need to bring to the training?
A: Just bring yourself! We will provide a binder, notepad, itinerary, example reports, pencils, name tag as well as a carrying tote bag.
Q: Can I record the training?
A: No. Video and voice recording devices are not allowed. We will record the training and provide you with access after the event.
Q: Can I bring a guest/spouse to the dinners or the training.
A: Yes you can! For an additional fee you may bring a guest, spouse or office assistant to the trainings and to attend all event functions. A separate fee is set-up for those guests who would just like to attend the dinners with you. Please email us about this option if you have not already done so.
Q: What food will be provided?
A: A casual, sit-down lunch will be provided in the Il Fornaio restaurant on Monday and Tuesday of the training. Water and coffee will be available throughout the day and light snack available in the afternoon in the training room.
An informal Welcome Dinner is also included on Sunday at Il Fornaio, and a Farewell Dinner on Tuesday at Grasing's Restaurant.
Q: What is the dress attire?
A: Wear whatever you’ll feel comfortable in. Ron will be teaching in jeans (and attending the dinners in jeans as well). The training room temperature can vary from morning to afternoon so we suggest a short sleeved shirt and sweater. The mornings and evenings can get chilly in Carmel so layers are recommended.
Q: Who should I contact if I get lost?
A: Please call Lacey’s cell phone at 914-500-3763
If she can’t be reached, call The Pine Inn for directions: 831-624-3851

Q: How do I get to Carmel and the Pine Inn in Carmel (flights & directions)?
A: Please view the flight information here and go here for the map on this page.
Q: Where do I park?
A: Most of downtown Carmel is located within 5 square blocks. You will likely not need a car once you get here.
If you’re staying at the Pine Inn, hotel guests can obtain a parking permit to park in their lot which has enough spaces for 1/2 their guests. They typically have plenty of parking spots for guests early in the week.
If you’re not staying at the Pine Inn we recommend walking to the Pine Inn for the trainings if your hotel is nearby.
If you do need to drive, we recommend finding a parking spot just west of the Pine Inn (towards the ocean). You’ll find about 3 blocks of all day parking on Ocean Ave. Most other areas of downtown are limited to 2 hours.

Here are a little more detailed instructions just in case:
Heading South on Highway 1 you will make a Right turn to Carmel onto Ocean Avenue, it's about 1.5 miles after the exit for 399A Pebble Beach. The sign for Carmel is small so keep an eye out!
Then continue down Ocean Ave. The Pine Inn is on Ocean Ave between Lincoln Street and Monte Verde Street. Approximately 0.7 miles West from Hwy 1, on the right hand side.
