Thank you for looking into the Birmingham hotel! I'll keep you all posted about a meeting place I have contacted a few places including Marc heitz chevy and am waiting for replies

Their cancellation policy is: Canceling your reservation before 6:00 PM (local hotel time) on Friday, 16 April, 2010 will result in no charge. Canceling your reservation after 6:00 PM (local hotel time) on 16 April, 2010, or failing to show, will result in a charge of 1 night per room to your credit card. Taxes may apply. Failing to call or show before check-out time after the first night of a reservation will result in cancellation of the remainder of your reservation.

i bet if you can't make someone on here would take the room. looks like I hope to be getting my car in the next month or so. woohoo

haha well checking reservations it now shows only a hand full of rooms left and they are 2 Queen bed rooms .... I don't need 2 beds lol but I'll reserve them anyways. Maybe I can get a friend to come with.

I better go ahead and book our room at the host hotel.

I agree that $180 a night

in Birmingham is way too much. I am not cheap (really I am

), but that is way out of my range. Thanks for checking on that Abygale.

Maybe we can get an Arkansas group to join us (Kansas and Oklahoma) also.

I think this trip will be almost as much fun as the event.

Did I see that you are pulling a trailer Ject? I am also pulling my car on a trailer.

You saw correctly, I'll be pulling it on a 16' or 18' dovetail trailer... that's the fun part, I only pull a trailer like 2-3 times a year lol im a little rusty... haven't hooked it up all year.

and yeah, anything over $100 a night for just a place to lay my head & shower is some high dollar living.

EDIT: Take that back, I'll have to be pulling an 18' the car is 15.8' (190") long...

Let us know what you all find out for the 1/2 way point stay. I just made reservations for the host hotel - they still have rooms left.

how many did you see left? when i did mine, I saw only 3 options, all 3 were 2 queen bed rooms available.

Birmingham sounds good to me. Just booked our room at the host hotel. They still have a few left.

Can't wait!!

1969Fbody · 10-30-2009, 06:03 PM

Booked our hotel room this afternoon at the host hotel. Got a double queen bed room. I was afraid I might I have to go to the next hotel since I waited so long. However, the back-up hotel is a nice hotel too and would not have been that big of a deal since it is close to the host hotel.

good deal

PS, Walkie Talkies = god send on vehicle convoys

1969Fbody · 10-30-2009, 09:56 PM

Big yes on the walkies.

We have some of the small ones. I also usually have a CB in my truck if I am driving it and pulling a car and trailer, but I believe the walkies work better when everyone is close. However, I like to hear the truckers talk about the cars in the convoy so I usually have the CB on.
