there is a doubletree in redington beach that is nice and close. don't know what it costs, though.

in taking a quick look, i don't think there wil be anything cheap on the water - it is spring break, after all. anything less expensive will be inland.

native - i can go with you, but monday won't be too easy. i'm interviewing a guy at lunch, then burning some gas in Three Wishes in the afternoon.

also, for baseball fans -

the weekend of the meet is the last wekeend of spring training. many of the teams play their last game on the 31st. tickets actually sell out quickly to these things. anyone who wants a day at the ballpark should act quickly.
