Jaynie et al., For people who are planning to go on the Saturday Outer Banks Field Trip, I called the three hotels listed in the newsletter for Saturday night. None are offering the low prices. Prices I was quoted are: Comfort Inn-$95/double; Quality Inn-$99/double; Williamsburg Hospitality House-$139 single or double. I asked about volume discounts and I think we can get at least a 10%discount at the first two places. So I think it would make sense for us all to stay in the same hotel, for next day commutes, prices,and fun. I would be happy to arrange for a group discount if people let me know if they are interested. The sooner the better because I'm planning to book a room soon, knowing how summer can be in tourist areas.
