New Year's in Monterey

You never want to sleep with the fishes, but dancing with them is another thing entirely. Spend New Year's Eve partying at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This year's formal event has an old Hollywood glamour theme so wear your party best. "Silver Fishes and New Year's Wishes" is the place to be for party animals, or just partying among animals. Come early (7:30pm) for a four-course gourmet meal, dancing starts at 9:00pm. Tickets aren't cheap but what New Year's party is? The party ranges from $60 to $85 but coming for dinner ups it from $240 to $350. Go to http://www.mbayaq.org for more details and to reserves your tickets.

Book a room at the Carmel Mission Inn so you can enjoy New Year's Day at the lovely coastal town.
