Here are some more information for Gran Prix:
Out of the many homes I have owned, remodeled or landscaped, I have lived in five of them; all of them define a time in my life. When I think back to them, I see the people who were a part of that period of my life. Really, that's what makes a house a home; the times we spend in them and the friends and family we spend those times with.
Homes do not have to be mansions. One of the best places I lived was my first 2 bedroom, 1 bath house. Why? It's simple, it was mine and that is something we all need, a place to call home. Like Dorothy said "There's no place like home".
Homes hold history. They tell their story of the people who have lived in them. They show the skill level of the people who worked on them and provide us with that age old question "What in the world were they thinking"?
Recently, we were remodeling a house in Vancouver Washington; it had been built in 1934. In the process, we came across a bottle of Cuban Rum, empty I'm sad to say, but the label was in perfect shape. This was an amazing find on many levels. I have no idea if it has any monetary value, but its connection between whoever put it in the wall all those years ago and us is priceless (unless, of course, priceless is a good amount of cash).
It was specifically bottled for the Lincoln Hotel in Havana Cuba in 1927. I have researched the rum and the hotel. They both have an interesting history. The Lincoln Hotel was built in 1926. It is here where one of the greatest Formula 1 race car drivers of all time, Juan Manual Fangio, was staying. He was to race in the Havana Gran Prix, but was kidnapped by Cuban Rebels. His kidnapping was an attempt by Castro and Che Guavera to bring attention to their cause for the Cuban Revolution. Eventually he was released unharmed, and legend has it, he remained friendly with the men who kidnapped him. As for the rum, it was one of Cuba's finest and was specifically bottled for the Lincoln Hotel. There is a small decal on the back of the bottle which says "Reserve 1927 prepared and packed exclusively for the Hotel "Lincoln" Gallano and Virtudes Havana Cuba". Gallano and Virtudes are the street location of the Lincoln; it still stands at this location today. What fascinates me is, that many years ago, one or more people were working on this house and put this bottle from Cuba in the wall. I'm sure they were thinking "someday someone will find this". It became a time capsule; they were forever connected with that house...whoever they were. I will always wonder who these people were and where did their journey take them.
The most touching example, for me, of how our homes speak of us, long after we have walked out the door for the last time, occurred five years ago in our present home. We did not know it at the time, but the woman we bought our house from had recently lost her husband to cancer, I'll call him John for the sake of this article. This was Sept. of 2004 and he had been diagnosed in 2000. They had, at one time, three children with them in the house. Their names were displayed by garage door buttons telling who parked where. Those names still are there today, by the way.
I was in the attic above the garage right before Christmas in 2004. I came across a rafter in the back of the attic, some place that is hard to get to. It said the following "Merry Christmas from "John" to (and here he listed his wife and the names of their children)" he went on to say "Hope to be here in 2001". Every year thereafter, when he went up for his Christmas ornaments, he would add the next year. So it went;"Hope to be here 2002, 2003, 2004". There was no 2005, he passed away in the summer of 2004.
I have no idea if anyone from his family knew he left these messages. When they hit the garage door buttons to come and go, did they realize that above them in the attic, their Dad had left a message tying them all to the house forever? I make a point to go up every year and look at "John's" message to his family. And when I do this, I wonder what the next owner will find that reminds them of the time my wife and I have spent here. I will guaranty you this; if the Rum bottle is worth anything, it won't be that.
The everyday things we do in our homes may not have the lasting effect, as things hidden in the walls, but they are embedded in the walls just the same. And so are the family and friends who come and go while we live there.
I wish everyone a safe and peaceful New Year.

Monaco Grand Prix 2009
Whether you are looking to impress new clients, or organising an event to reward your hard working employees, you would do well to consider a Monaco Grand Prix hospitality package. This year's event should prove to be even more spectacular than usual as the Monaco Grand Prix of 2009 will mark the legendary race's 70th anniversary.
Furthermore, there is likely to be heightened interest amongst the British as Lewis Hamilton competes in the event for the first time since claiming the Formula One World Driver's Championship during the final lap of the Brazilian Grand Prix last November. Hamilton won the Monte Carlo Grand Prix in 2008, and will hope to repeat his success in 2009. Even if he is successful he will still have some way to go before he eclipses Ayrton Senna's amazing record of six wins in seven seasons set between 1988 and 1993.
This year the Circuit de Monaco will host the sixth Gran Prix of the 2009 Formula One Season. The action is due to begin on Thursday 21st May when fans will get to see the drivers taking part in two practise sessions. However the real action doesn't get underway until Saturday 23rd when the drivers compete against the clock in the qualifying rounds.
The qualifying rounds are in many ways as important as the race itself as the prize for the fastest qualifying time is the coveted 'pole position'. As the Circuit de Monaco traces its famous path through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, there are notoriously few opportunities for drivers to pass each other and as a consequence the driver who starts the race in 'pole position' will, more often than not, finish as race champion.
Sunday 24th of May will see the culmination of the weekend's activities with the warm-up for the Monaco Grand Prix 2009 commencing at 13.30. The race itself begins half an hour later at 14.00 and typically lasts for just under two hours as the drivers race to complete 76 laps of the circuit.
While it is possible to buy tickets for each separate day of the event, most Monaco Grand Prix hospitality packages will include both the qualifying rounds as well as the race itself. These packages will typically vary greatly in price. At the lower end you will find packages that include accommodation, local transfer, and grandstand tickets for the race, but do not include flights or hospitality. Prices for these kind of packages will generally start at around $2000 per/person based on two sharing.
Monaco F1 hospitality packages will typically start at around $3000 per/person and such packages will typically include 3 nights Bed and Breakfast accommodation (often in a neighbouring town such as Nice), local transfer, and a view of the action from a private balcony (often belonging to a hotel) with complimentary buffet and open bar (including unlimited Champagne). If you wish to stay in Monaco itself, you should expect to pay between $5000 and $20000 per head. These Monaco based F1 hospitality packages will typically include helicopter transfer to and from your airport with the more expensive packages including F1 Driver appearances.
If you are looking for a no holds barred F1 Corporate Hospitality event then you should consider watching the Monaco Grand Prix from the decks of a yacht. A range of boats are available for hire with the largest catering for parties of up to 150 guests, with overnight accommodation for up to 36.
Some of the best views of the Monaco Grand Prix are from the decks of the yachts berthed in the harbour. As a result most of these spots are reserved well in advance by companies specialising in Monaco F1 Corporate Hospitality, and consequently they tend to be extremely expensive.
However, if you are on a more limited budget you will find companies offering Monaco Grand Prix hospitality packages that include yacht parties but will not break the bank. These packages make use of yachts that are moored further way from the shoreline. Although these locations are not ideal for viewing the race, there will usually be an option to view the race from an alternative location and return to the yacht for the after party.
Ultimately the Monaco Grand Prix experience is only partly about the race itself, it is the glamorous setting, the yachts, the celebrities and the parties that make it the fantastic event that it is.
