Accepting more reservations for DC

You will need to register with the hotel directly and then register with us for your bus fare. Please be advised that you if book your rooms in a hotel other than the Renaissance (on 9th St) or the Marriott Wardman Park, you may have to take the Metro to your hotel from Union Square Station as that is where the bus is parking. Those are the only 2 hotels on our approved itenerary from the bus company at this time, and we are trying to make the trip as easy as possible for all involved. After some research, I have found that f you are interested in flying, you can get a very good rate that is close to the cost of the bus (possibly even better.) I have not really paid a lot of attention to this in the past as most of the people I was talking to wanted to go as part of a group - but now I have had several people who would like to stay in separate hotels, etc... so I am putting this info out there for anyone who would like to fly.

We will be leaving on 9/11 from Brunswick at 6am. We have spoken with our bus company, and because the bus will be originating in Jax, they have agreed to allow us to pick up passengers from Jax at no extra charge. If you will be joining us in Jax, FL, please put that in the comments section of the form. We will let you know the exact time of departure as it is finalized (probably around 4:30am.) The pick-up location is likely to be somewhere on the north side of the city close to I-95 so that the bus doesn't have to go out of the way on it's way to Brunswick.

We are also able to pick people up in Savannah - but you can also book with the Savannah group that is going up. You can contact Elizabeth and find out more information information on the GA March on DC District 1 site. We have arranged parking near I-95 in Savannah, but only for a few cars. If we have more than that, we'll have to find a new place. If you are in Savannah, please note that on the form so we can keep you updated on the Savannah updates.

We will e-mail finalized parking spot information after we have received your fare as we do not want to publicize this information.

For traveling around while in DC, we will be making use of the Metro System. Once the buses are parked at Union Square, they will not be going out again until it is time to pick-up the passengers to leave DC on Sunday at 10am. The Renaissance will probably be the last stop before heading out of DC, so if you are at the Wardman Park, it will be a little earlier.

If you have any questions, please e-mail goldenislesteaparty@gmail.com
