Some More Specifics for the bus trip

Everything is not set in stone yet, but the trip is looking good!

The hotel that we would be staying in in the Renaissance in DC, and we would be 5 blocks from the start of the march. A pretty good location! Look around the site to look at the pictures and what they have available, but don't book through the hotel. The only way to get the deal is through the event planner that we've been working with. The quoted rate is $99 a night, but an extra $10 has been added to each room per night so help cover the cost of the meeting rooms that will be available to us for making our signs, meeting others, etc... Another cool thing about this hotel is that this is where most of the GA Tea Party Patriots will be staying. So, you know that we will be in a hotel full of like minded people who will help each other out. The total cost for the room which includes the taxes is $125 per room/ per night. You can put up to 4 in a room, so if you have a 3 or 4 person party, you will be able to save a little over our quoted per person prices.

The bus trip looks like it will be $175 per person for the trip. I am not clear on all the particulars yet, but I believe that this will cover 2 drivers, the driver's tip, the driver's hotel room, and all parking and toll fees. (Also we have to buy the driver a Metro Card for $7.50 so he can get back and forth to the bus.) We are also talking to Savannah about meeting up and having a convoy.

Please remember that you don't need a travel partner for the trip. If you are traveling alone, you may either rent a room for your own use ($125 per night = $250) or you can share a room with another single. We have plenty of people who are traveling alone, so don't feel like that would be any kind of problem.

So, now the Question you are probably asking is "What should I do if I want to go?" First, click on this link to register for the trip. Then, send your check to PO Box 20412, St. Simons Is., GA 31522 Please be sure to write WAshington Trip in the memo field. This must be done as soon as possible because we can't guarantee your space until the Fare has been received.

Here's how the pricing breaks down:
1 person in a room = $425 for trip
2 people in a room = $600 for trip OR $300 per person (we can link you with another single)
3 people in a room = $775 for trip OR $258.33 per person
4 people in a room = $950 for trip OR $237.50 per person

For those who want to use their own transportation, but would like to join us at the same hotel in Washington, you can also get the rate of $125 per room (incl taxes) per night. Just let me know that that is all you are registering for when you register (follow the link) and when you send in the check, put your name in the Memo field and that it is for hotel only.

Anyone who needs more information (or doesn't understand my babbling...) please send me an e-mail (Dawn Forbes) at goldenislesteaparty@gmail.com and I'll be glad to help you in any way that I can. You can also call William Temple at 577-9676 and he'll be able to help you as well.

Thank you everyone for your patience and I really feel like that patience is going to pay off - in a big way. This is a much better situation than even our earliest offers elsewhere because we're going to be spending time with our fellow patriots making signs have a party, etc... I don't know about you, but I am excited beyond belief at what this is shaping up to be!
