I hereby respectfully initiate the annual think-tank for trip plans to Nats 2010.  This is the template for now that would later be filled with more details such as plans for car-pooling, airfare data, hotels, etc.  ----

I have reserved posts 2 and 3 for further info.

I will edit this thread accordingly.


So far, while awaiting official venue announcement, this address is good to go:
Calvary Christian Church
47 Grove Street
Lynnfield, MA 01940

Thanks and Godbless.

I'm guessing that info will go up with the website which should go up in a day or 2.

So, call me a n00b, but does the "group rate" mean that multiple people can stay in the same room for one price?

Group rate normally refers to multiple rooms.  Basically, if you can fill say 5 rooms, the hotel might give you a discount since you bring in traffic.

Multiple people staying in the same room is also a good idea for bringing costs down.

My family will be staying at the Springhill Suites, which is 1 mile from the church.  That way, Kurt and I can walk to the tournament in the AM, leaving the car for my wife and daughters to come over when they are ready.  They have a great price for 2 adults and 4 kids in a room ($103 including a AAA discount).  Free breakfast and indoor heated pool.  Nice.  :)

I think the maximum amount of people in the room is 4, but you have to check with the hotel...

Some hotels will charge you extra if you have more than two adults (over 16).

Well, I would be very willing to share the cost of a room with as many people as possible, even if it means sleeping on the floor or in a closet or under a bed or in a box - as long as I get to go to Natz!!!!! ;D

I also would still like to join any carpoolers who might be moving past St. Paul, MN. I will pay for my share of gas, and I'm also willing to drive part of the way, although I'm not sure if anyone would want me to. :P I doubt many MNers will be driving though, since it'll probably take either all of one day or most of two to get there from here.

I suppose it would be appropriate to post a link to our MN carpool thread here. It isn't 100% for sure happening yet, but it's very likely, especially if we can find an adult to go with us (which is likely :P), and if anyone is along the way, we will probably be able to pick a few up. :)

I think there already is a link, unless you wish another city in MN to be posted.

You are right.  Perhaps one of the MN residents can initiate a separate thread that I can link to the first post on this thread.

I am looking for someone(s) to share a room with at the Hampton Inn or any hotel where you have some transportation. Please PM if you have room for one.

Thanks
