DAMN...So much for "group rate"!!!! Wha'd they do...have a group meeting at the hotel, "after" you called!?!?!?!! Tell me that involves a conference room!! That's not even right...even Travelocity has the rates different now...news travels FAST!!!

When I first mentioned this on the other thread...I had "just" looked it up!!! It was $119 Bayview!!! That's BUNK!!!:mad:

AAaaaaahhhhh.....I'm a little better now;) (Breathe-in....breathe-oooooouuuuut!!!)

Dan,

I just talked with the Mariott. Their room rates are as follows:

Standard room - $99
Island View - $149
Bayview - $179

Their dockage is a bit more limited however a few years ago the Florida Power Boat club stayed there and we got maybe 12 boats in their marina.

I left a message for group sales to call me back. The lady I needed to speak with will be out till Mon. I was told we might be able to get a little bit of a discount.

The rates you quoted from the Westin are their posted rates. I was wondering if group sales got involved if they'd be able to do better.

Todd

Good idea Active Thunder Todd. Sure hope they change their tune.

Consintracy...I just checked Travelocity and they are back to $119.00....What's up with that? They hear we have our group rate set so they changed it back?:rolleyes:

We went ahead and booked our room at the Westin. You can see what the rates are for a Traditional room (no view). Alot cheaper than 199 per night for a Bayview room. If plans change and the group decides to stay elswhere its no big deal cause we have plenty of time to cancel.

All right....this has been driving me batty.... Frankie are you the guy who was @ the factory with his fiance' when Todd & I were there? (The one's that were just about ready to open a restaurant):confused:

Active Thunder Todd,

Are you guys going down early, or are you going down with the rest of us and staying later now? Would love to have you in the caravan from Chatanooga if you are going down at the same time.

Tbikini~We are staying at the Westin Oct. 11-15th...so, I would imagine we could convoy down together (that would be such a beautiful site w/all of the boats!!!).
We are also going to catch the National's in St. Petersburg the wknd of the 18th...so, if anyone else wants to check it out with us...we're thinking it should be a good time!!

Did you make your reservations? Has anyone else confirmed anything?

Tracy

If anyone else would like to book thier room through travelocity, go for it. I am not sure how many rooms they will have avaliably for travelocity but I will need to know how many rooms each person wants, and what type by this Thursday if possible.

We called the Westin directly.

Hmmmm, me and the group sales rep are going to have a very interesting conversation today....:mad:

I got the group rep to offer the $129.00 rate for the Island view. All of the other rates remain the same. So, thanks Tracy and Todd, now all I need is the number of rooms and the type of rooms, I need it no later than FRIDAY AM please.

Dan, Mrs. R'Addiction and I are not going to be able to make it to the Thunder Run. Work schedules have thrown a wrench into the works. Maybe next year!!:( Have fun and take some pictures!! Thanks , John & Lesley

Dan, Do the rooms come with a slip ?

Kevin,

Yes, part of the price of the room is the complimentry slip. :)

Dan-
Sorry for the delay in replying- I was in Canada for a few days for mothers' birthday and helping her out with projects at her place there.
Chris and I plan on attending, and will need 1 room.

Jim

Please let me know what type of room you all want, and please pm me your phone number so I can call you to get any information.:)

NO THAT WAS NOT ME.

Hook me up bud, I would like a water veiw room, large round bed with mirrors on the cielings, bar sink, fridge, micro and a big jacuzzi:p thats all. I will let you know if I need 2 rooms by Thursday:D

Thunderdan, Are you going on the poker run this weekend? If so we'll see ya at the Chesapeake Inn stop.:p

Thunder Dan

Did you get my PM about the Poker Run? Just wanted to make sure. We are getting excited! :D Now if we could just find a place to get the boat splashed without having to dunk that new Myco trailer, H20 Warrior would be happy:D

Raddiction,

I will be at the poker run this weekend and i will see you at the Inn.

I got the PM form tbikini, frankie, jassman, and jafo. I also have a room for shane. Anyone else???

SO, where do we stand on the Thunder run? In my earlier post you can see that Tracy and I are going to stay a couple of extra days. How many have already made their reservations. We would hate to be the only ones there...;) .

Todd

Todd and Tracy, Sandy and I along with 2 other friends will be attending, should be a blast:D

THUNDERDAN, If its not to late we would like to do the run. We will have 3 people and need 1 bayview room, Thanks Bob:) :)
