got the ok from the boss - hoping to be there myself. I tried to look at booking online, but showed nothing available online - I'm assuming it's because we have it blocked off? I'll try to get a call in later today to check.

Yes, we do have the whole motel blocked off for us...so calling direct  is best. There are other small motels close by if it gets sold out, but last time I checked it wasn't yet. Look forward to meeting/seeing you there
