18th sounds like something to do. Your still in for the 10th? If your gonna stay over, I would make the reservations now, you can always cancel them even up to the day of check in.

im trying to get in touch with everyone now, i want to go down saturday morning and come back sunday night. if everyone says yes gonna call and get a room or two. i am definetly going for the 10th weather permitting. i know i have one friend will definetly go. the sandbar party is fun, plus its something close.

The river is a mess today. Loads of trees and trash. We had to recover a body this morning, sad that nobody seemed to miss this guy.

fireboat, how much did you get a room for at the holiday inn.

We got a king suite for $120. per night

reason i was asking is if i get reservations now it is 150 a night. if i lock in the room its 128 a night but cant cancel. if i cancel i still pay for the room. might stay on the boat in charleston.

i ended up booking at the comfort inn. 90 bucks for a night, half a mile farther down the road and you can cancel the day of. trying to keep the costs down as much as possible since i think only one friend is going to come down.

Rooms are still available at the Holiday Inn Exp. Not many though. Only smoking rooms available. I could add another room onto my reservation. We're kinda regulars and I get the government rate. Can cancel up to 6pm the day of check in with no charge. Mute point though since you got a room. Do they have room for parking the rig? Which night/s are you staying? We're going down on Friday morning the 9th. and staying until Sunday.

looks like they have a good size parking lot, hopefully there is enough room. im guessing because you are govenment they allow you to cancel the day of. im going down saturday morning and coming back sunday night.

Good, we'll be able to get Saturday and Sunday in. I don't think Gov. rate makes a diff, it's the policy stated on their site but there are several ways to pay and each has diff rules. I am a priority member though so maybe? Looks like we have another Hurricane coming right on time to screw us again!
