NERAC II - LODGING wat the heck... ONLY $109.00 ROOMS??????

[aaron23]

... i just called up best western.

REP:"we're under renovation"
"who are you with"

ME: "um atlantis marine conference on March 11th."

REP:"oh that will be $109." "Thats all we have available 2 twin beds per room."

ME:"............... ok." click.

I'm planning on staying here but am not willing to spend $109.00 on A ROOM WITH JUST MYSELF. NO WEIRDOS anybody want to share a room. lol if im going to pay freaking $54.50 im going to freaking utilize their gym for a couple of hours..... rediculous price. THEY HAVE NO SINGLE BED ROOMS wat the ...........

I DONT THINK I SNORE..... Im 18 years old following cb747 (chris) and mike (sci33) to atlantis lol. Went to my first reef meeting and meet a couple of you awesome folks.

Would anybody like to share a room and split the costs.
I in my own opinion i think its weird b/c i've never had rented a room by myself let alone without parents around but i mean i dont want to drive back and forth.

If anybody is interested in splitting a room 3 ways i can bring a sleeping bag and get the floor. Whatever works.

Aaron.

by the way... why is everybody i know from longisland that is going..... ... MARRIED?!?!?!?!?! WAT IS THIS!!!!!!!!

 

[olemos]

Where are you coming from? your talking as you were from out of State, dude, just find someone to split the gas with you, it's a lot cheaper.

 

[aaron23]

well the people i know who are going are staying at the motel... Consider this: If i was to eat at the banquet thing it is planned to end near 10pm. IF i were to drive home it would be 12 to get settled in and ready for bed it would be about 1pm. Then to wake up at 6:00am get ready .. 6:30am and then drive back... 5 hours of sleep isnt worth it i dont think i could handle the drive even with 5 hours of sleep :\ ima weak driver i fall asleep if im going straight for 1 hour 50 minutes on the road.

It's a 50 to 60 minute drive, just went there this past Saturday to drop off something.

hah aaron give me a hug :O

 

[aaron23]

sci33: no.
pecan2phat: some 1 above (sci33) told me 2 hours.

how fast were you driving?

 

[eboonaman]

I know things get expensive expecially when your still a teen and not working .. but $109 is a good deal.. I spent one night in NYC and the room was $279 and it only had a 19" TV !!:eek1: :lol:

the dinner will be over around 10ish you will be back in bed by 12 and you don't have to be at atlantis until 9ish.

good luck ...

Aaron,
I was within the speed limit by say 10 - 15 mph.

I think it actually took me 50 minutes door to door.

 

[aaron23]

hmm .... what shall i do with the other bed :\ im gona ask parents to pay for it lol lets see what they say ... i dont relaly feel like spending a whopping 109$ on a MOTEL STAY for 1 night...

 

[billsreef]

Best bet is to cram as many people into the room as possible. Air mattresses and sleeping bags are good, as well as being good friends with whomever you share the room with

Dude Atlantis is like 65-70 miles from here. Mapquest it. 1 hour max. Also keep in mind its early Saturday morning so that means unless someone does something stupid there will be no traffic

I can make Ronkonkoma (exit 57) from Baldwin in 30 minutes, and that includes 3 or 4 minutes in 7-11 to get coffee. Last time I went from here to Atlantis, I did it in less than an hour, door to door.
From Mineola/Roslyn area, it should be faster, as you are much closer to the LIE.

 

[aaron23]

wooo that sounds good that the drive wont be too long. hey chris ill give you a call today to see if youre busy.
Larry that sounds good -

Hey I know some of the BRS guys were looking for someone to share a room with. They only allow 3 people per room so you will have to sneak over that in.....we had 4 in a room last year and have 3 in one room this year (so far )
