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.

I WANT TICKETS!!!

Someone gonna make a call on the "official" hotel?

I think Fln8tive is scoping some out tomorrow. I'm booked for now at the Sirata and will probably change hotels for the weekend depending upon what everyone does.

That place won't let me book it for less than 3 nights and I'm only staying Fri & Sat nights.

That's one of the things he will be working on tomorrow. We can get around the 3 night requirement with a group booking.

I'm not planning on it.

Me neither, there should be plenty of people to ride with to the meet and a cab ride for dinner and drinking makes the most sense.
