Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Vancouver + hotel accommodations

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

I think Ray was trying to coordinate a hotel close to the meeting room 
and dive area.  It may be time to forgo that strategy however and simply 
find a place that can accommodate a bunch of us.  We can then figure out 
transportation requirements to/from various events.  I'll be renting a 
car, but perhaps we could do something creative and a few of us pitch in 
to rent a van (or two) so that we have more seats available.  Or maybe 
the membership will authorize subsidizing a van or two with our 
membership money??  I don't know, but a couple of things to think about.

A few weeks back I did send out a notice asking people to let me know 
how much money they were willing to spend, per night, on a hotel room.  
I didn't get any responses to that request, but it certainly would help 
us determine what class of hotel to look for in the area.  Feel free to 
respond to me privately off-list.  Personally, my limit is somewhere 
around $125 a night, and preferably cheaper.
