Rates

OK,

I was blocking rooms for the weekend of April 20-21st and discovered that the best room rates, lower than AAA or AARP, were still around $90-100. There are contracts in the mail for 20 rooms at the Wingate Inn Wilmington-Airport (around $90 for group rates) (5126 Market St., Wilmington 28405-3445)(~10min from the reception), with more rooms negotiable, and 20 rooms at the Jameson Inn (just under $100 for group rates) (5102 Dunlea Ct., Wilmington 28405-3476)(also about 10min. away from the reception). Some family of mine have already booked at the Hilton-Wilmington Riverside (around 15-20 min. away from the reception site), and the Hampton Inn-Medical Park (around 15-20 min. away from the reception site). I'm still waiting for a quote for 3 others, but regardless, I figured I'd give you guys a head start. Sometimes internet specials are the way to save. Actually, they are considerably cheaper than the group rates the motels were willing to give me. So, I actually advise you guys to book early, and use the lower cost internet specials on any of the travel sites you enjoy using. Invitations will be going out soon, but that doesn't mean you have to wait to book the motel.

I'll post a map soon.
