The hotel reservations have been made for the trip out. We are still looking at our schedule before making reservations for the trip home, but those will be coming soon. We will be staying in the Hamtom Hotel in Des Moine, IA. (Cathy click the blue words to see pics of the hotel).
I did have a bit of a problem and I am asking for your cooperation on this - especially from you men who are going. Currently we have 5 men signed up, which would mean that we need 2 rooms for the guys. The problem is that two of those men are having difficultly coming up with their money and may need to drop out, which would mean we would only need one room.
THEN, one of the ladies is perhaps going to drop out as well and another guy may be taking her place. SOOO.... I'm not sure what to do about rooms. We reserved 4 rooms - one for the men so some of the guys may end up needing to sleep on the floor or (hopefully) a roll-away. We needed to make the reservations now in order to ensure the $29 a room price. Even at that we were only able to get 3 of the rooms at that rate, so I went ahead and booked them.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
