Hey guys, for those of you going to the Tail of the Dragon meet I wanted to offer this option to you. I will be leaving on Thursday and staying over in Jacksonville and leaving from there on Friday morning. Board member kparis was nice enough to suggest a hotel and get me his company corporate rate!! I am not sure if anyone in south or central Florida is interested in this or if you are doing it all in one shot early Friday morning, but thought I would let you guys know the hotel info:
Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville JTB/Deerwood Park
9745 Gate Parkway North, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Tel: 1-904-997-6600

The corporate rate Kparis was able to get us is $90.00 (normally $120.00, kudos to Kparis)for that night. To get this rate mention you want the Merrill Lynch Corporate Rate and everything should be set. I am planning on meeting up with him and grabbing some food that night, so it would be great if somemore people joined us .
Regards,
Evan
PS-Yes this is early, but I want to make sure the hotel does not fill up...

 

Evan,

Keith is a great guy... I'm sure you will enjoy his company. I do not plan on staying in Jax.. Just time my departure to meet up with you guy's in Jax..

 

Sounds good Gary, as we get closer we will work out time of departure.

My company just updated their rates for the holdiays (gotta love those corporate rates). I hope this helps those coming from South Florida through Jacksonville.
