Meet & Greet: My 'recon' work hasn't resulted in much new information. I contacted the AmVet group but haven't heard anything back.
I wonder if the Ramada has made some 'good' changes as someone in the last PIR said their M&G was ok at the Ramada. Anyone hear anything else?
It is difficult to coordinate something like this long distance, though! Perhaps we can all check the hotels where we have reservations, and see what kind of 'meeting' space is available and if it's 'open' for Oct 7th? I'll check out the Courtyard by Marriott and let you know.
I'll keep you posted if I hear anything else. -

Hi all, I have booked at the Ramada, however, I am having reservations about this choice after Lydia's comments on her stay. Any thoughts? Anyone else booked there or heard anything about a better place to stay? I know we are all trying to help eachother. I chose it for the meet and greet.

brittanysmom~Read the reviews on the Ramada's website. We were originally going to stay there because of the M&G, but after reading all the reviews and comments on here from all the Navy4Moms, we decided against it. A lot of negative reviews. I still plan to attend the M&G if it is still being held there, I'm just choosing to stay at the Residence Inn instead.

We are also staying at the Residence Inn. I read all reviews and to me this sounded like the best place to stay. Would like to try and make it to the Ramada for the M & G.

Does anyone know right away what TIME the meet & greet is held @ Ramada? Haven't seen anyone else staying @ LaQuinta, it's a few minutes farther away, but I'm going to ask them to put up a whiteboard or sign in sheet for other PIR guests, hoping to be able to connect w/ some people!
So it sounds to me like we're pretty much all planning on meeting @ the Ramada & seeing what happens from there - correct? Should be quite a turn out! There's 101 of us on our 10/08/10 page, then add spouses & kids - holy cow! Hope they're ready! -

You never know! :-) I'm leaning toward the t-shirt idea! But we'll see - it'll be so wonderful to actually meet everyone! Hugs galore I am sure! Time is flying, it'll be here before we know it!
