As I write this I have not heard any new news from Brian. He did indicate to me on Friday that he would be in Page over the weekend with very limited internet access. I'm expecting some sort of response no later than tomorrow.

[sparkchaser]

I received the email all of us have been waiting for. Here is Brian's response:

Please see below. All hotel rooms, after taxes, are $54.53 per room. This rate is significantly discounted from the Best Flexible Rate for the Defiance House and is less than what you would pay for a family unit. All rooms are double queen, lakeview rooms, with the exception of Jerry/Louis and Steve/Wife. Please let me know if you need me to remove or add any rooms.

Best,

Subject: RE: The Shuffle

Brain,

Here was our current situation for this trip. As you are aware, 4 of us made the reservation for family units. Steve Jenkins made the reservation for trailer 4, but is unable to attend. He made a deal with the current occupants to take over his reservation.

Trailer 1: Confirmation – 8300jo
Mike and Debbie
Dave – made reservation
Tom
Steve volunteered for a cot

3 additional rooms are under David Thompson.

Trailer 2: Confirmation – 8312xt
Kelley and Patti – made reservation
Larry
Bill
Matt volunteered for a cot

1 Family Unit for Kelley/Patti, Kevin, Rich and Kyle
2 rooms are under Kelley and Patti.

Trailer 3: - 8306rn
Steve Seivert and wife – made reservation
Mark – will not be attending
Marvin
Tim volunteered for a cot

3 rooms are under Steve Seivert

Trailer 4: Confirmation: 83012f
Jerry and Louis
Kevin
Rich
Kyle volunteered for a cot
Steve Jenkins made reservation, but will not be attending

1 room is under Steve Jenkins

I responded back with the following questions and changes.

How many rooms do we actually have, as I asked for 10. It looks like we have 9 rooms with two of them being king bed rooms on the 1st floor for Steve and his wife, and Jerry and Louis. The rest are queen bed rooms on the second floor.

I updated the fact that two of the rooms would only be occupied from the 2nd through the 6th for Matt and Timbo.

I asked for confirmation on the trailer price, as it was at Halls.

I asked for Steve Jenkins reservation to be canceled, and his room added to my reservation to make things easier.

I left him a voicemail as well, so I hope to hear back today for final confirmation.

Here is a link to the Defiance Hotel to look at the rooms: http://www.lakepowell.com/lodging/defiance-house-lodge/?marina=Bullfrog+Marina

At this point I need a confirmation for all planning on attending. I'll send Kevin a text to get a response from that group.

One more thing to add in your decision....

Doing the math 7 nights in the hotel at 54.53 comes to 381.71 per room. If some of you want to double up in a room let me know. Some people expressed that they wanted their own room, so that's what I asked for to include the entire group.

The trailers would have been 5 people sharing the cost of 1186.92 at 237.84 per person.

It's not what we originally agreed to, but he is giving quite a discount of the normal room rate

[Fish Hawk]

Thanks for all your work Dave. Larry and I will each take our own room. Thanks again.

[OneBlade]

Timbo and I will each take a separate room.

Good Job Dave!!!! Thanks

[D.Hewitt]

Mike and I appreciate all the work (and stress)that went into making other arrangements at such short notice. We contacted a friend of ours that also goes up this time every year and he offered us a room in his trailer for the 2nd thru the 8th so we are set and will not need a hotel. You all will have a couple of days head start on the hunt so we hope you find the fish before we get there and share your "hot-spots" once we meet up. Please let us know what trailer # the club is in and we look forward to partying with you there

So over the weekend I got an email from Brian, as seen in the attachment. I quickly read it, and saw the number 10 as in 10 hotel rooms. If you read the email, he is giving us 10 rooms total with three being accounted for at the trailer. So essentially we are back to 7 hotel rooms. We need 10 rooms to make it so everyone has their own room.

Again, I'm sorry for the confusion this weekend. I responded back to Brian requesting the total above. (1 family unit, 10 hotel rooms) I stressed that we all had our own room/ space to sleep in with the original plan of 4 trailers at Halls.

I got a confirmation from Aramark last week for two rooms that I paid $169.00 deposit on each.  One for myself, one for Marvin.  If you are confused about where you are staying I suggest you open the pdf above and get one confirmed.  I'd contact Brian direct and get the right price.  Sparkchaser, chime right in here if you like.  I'm not trying to stir things up but everyone is in charge of reserving their own rooms correct?
