Is there some way to select a hotel and get Clayarters to book a block of rooms? Might save money and this would lead to much chance encounter and the ensuing serendipitous cross-chatter would be fun and useful. Haven't been to "Balamor" since the waterfront rehab and even my frugal wife would be up for making that trip, not to mention all the wild wimmin from AZ.

Just a thought,

Roger Korn

Hi Bev,

I suspect everyone just needs to calm down a bit. I would bet the
reason there are few rooms available is that they are all reserved for
NCECA and they haven't opened them up for reservations yet. That
normally does not happen until September. I have never reserved before
September and I've never had a problem getting a room in the primary
hotel. By November or December--yes, they might be full.

All this reminds me of Johnny Carson starting a run on toilet paper a
few years back by announcing there was a shortage. Sure enough there
was one the next day.

Regards,

John
