RE: [amsat-bb] Hotel Reservations

["Christensen, Eric Harlan" <CHRISTENSENE@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I think it is wrong that there is only one person to deal with.
BUT, I'm not familiar with their company and Monique may be the only one
that deals with such reservations.  Not East Coast mentality, but just
poor business management.  Hope Monique doesn't get hit by a bus on the
way to work tomorrow.

I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if I can get everything worked
out.  Would share a room, but already doing so...

Yes, Eric I have run into this problem.  I am on the edge of canceling
out of this entire affair until I can make some common sense of it all.
I am most 
willing to share a room during the convention but I'll be damned if I
will be held up as a common thief for doing so!!!!
     Martha indicated I should ask for Moniquie but I have been put off
ever time.  If and when I can get decent reservation at the hotel, I'll
try and arrange FAR CHEAPER travel arrangements.  Don't you think there
is something very wrong here?  I sure as hell do!!!  As usual, if I am
wrong not understanding the East coast mentality, tell me so.  It's
almost too late now. Cliff KR
