How to Navigate this Blog

Sorry folks, but there doesn't seem to be an order in which we can post things other than chronological. So please drop-down all the headings for each month in the Blog Archive below in order to find those items of interest to you. We've tried to label them clearly.

Or you can just scroll down the whole page to see all posts.

A note about the AmericInn

Hi friends and family:

We've been getting mixed messages from one of the hotels we've got a block at, the AmericInn. (See original Lodging posting, 1.18.2009.) When one of our friends called to reserve, he was told that our block was full. We called to check on that and were told that while the hotel as a whole was filling up, our block actually still had a lot of space. Then another friend told us she, too, had been told that our block was full, and had to reserve a suite instead. Which, awesome as the Duck Decoy Suite is, still: Grr.

It seems like different representatives at the hotel are telling people different things, and sometimes just sending people along to central booking where they can't do anything about our block, anyway. We're trying to sort it out. In the meanwhile, please let us know if you're having any trouble with your reservations by commenting here or by emailing us.

Apologies, in advance, for the trouble.
And by the way, please make those reservations soon!

Talk to us

We've created a new email address that we can both check (and that will sacrifice itself should we happen to find ourselves getting lots of spam from posting it here!). So if you have any questions or would like to let us know that you are or aren't coming, please email us here.

Please also use this email to send us your mailing address!! Chances are we don't have it, and even if we do we'd like to make sure we're right.
