FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: AGA Convention Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 12:14:14 -0400 From: Scott Iekel-Johnson <scottij@monkey.org> To: Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@wilstream.com> Thanks for the notice! The main Marriot reservation number given on the convention webpage still didn't have any rooms available, but they finally suggested calling the hotel itself (703-920-3230), and they were able to book the Thursday night rooms. Thanks so much for your help! I look forward to meeting you at the convention. --Scott On Tue, Oct 19, 2004 at 09:34:16AM -0500, Cheryl Rogers wrote:
Rick Dotson is on the phone with them NOW. If I were you, I would jump on this because we're getting 10 more rooms for Thursday nite and then that's it. There is another Marriott nearby that runs a shuttle service that is willing to honor the convention room rates, however.Cheryl Scott Iekel-Johnson wrote: >Cheryl, > >Thanks for the response! >>I Marriot again tonight, and they still don't have any rooms open on >Thursday>the 11th, but they are now showing AGA rooms available on Tuesday the >9th!
