Cindy I just called and the manager is not in but he said they did not have you listed for a reservation. Paula does not get there till 2 pm but I just reserved a room anyway. I will call Paula sometime and see if the guy I made my reservation with put me in the correct spot.

Just talked to Comfort Inn. They do have my reservation for my room, July 24-27 (Friday, Sat and Sun nights). It is just not a "block of rooms". It is just a request to put us near each other. Not sure how we could do a block of rooms since we do not know how many rooms we will need. The guy I just talked to, who I assume is the Manager seemed nice and he knew what I was talking about. I guess people have been calling. I did talk to Paula yesterday afternoon, she was also very helpful.

If you call to make your reservations just tell him you want to be close to me and anyone else calling from YarisWorld.

Comfort Inn - Friday and Sat night are $129 each and Sun night is $79. Plus tax and such naturally. I tried to negotiate us a better rate, but couldn't get it. Maybe they'll budge a bit on the price after we have 10 rooms or something booked. Hey, never hurts to ask.

I'm thinking group rate deal. If we can get X number of people it might be worth their time.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Not sure what happened, when I called he seemed to know what I was talking about and everything. Knew my name (unless they had it as Cynthia instead of Cindy) and even verified my confirmation #. Was not real sure about his english skills any way. Had an accent or maybe that's me. Any way, really hope it's straight. Can't wait to see everyone there.

It looks like you guys will be going down 65 through Indianapolis, Louisville and on to Nashville. You will be coming into Nashville from the east and I will be coming in from the west.

I just saw that...we'll just have to meet up in Nashville. How long of a drive it is for you? I find it funny that I'm driving as long to get to Ohio next weekend as I am to Nashville. It's about 8 hours for me and yes, takes me through Indianapolis.

Yes, that is the way I understood it as well. Which is why I was trying to get there by mid afternoon if at all possible.

[jclo3313]

I'll be there Friday some time in the afternoon, and look forward to meeting up with everyone. I think Mike from TN is having a big BB-Q at his place that day.
