Default SKYLINE from the NE

We are planning to leave the Philly area about 2 PM on Friday 10/26. I'm looking at booking rooms at the Quality Inn in Front Royal. I need to know who wants a room booked and who wants to meet to caravan down.

You may want to consider the Days Inn in Luray. (At least for Saturday night anyway..) A bunch of us are spending Saturday night there after the cruise. They are offering us a discount. Just call (540) 743-4521, and ask for Mike. Tell him you're with Corvette Forum. ;) The deadline for discounted rooms has passed but I think he'd honor a request for a discount at this late date... Our rate is $69.xx per night.

I'm leaving after work Friday(about 7:30 pm) I'll be staying at Farmer's house in Sterling.

Super8 in Front Royal is not a bad place to stay for Friday, butSaturday, you'll want to stay at the Days Inn in Luray. Trust me on this one.

The # forSuper8 is (540) 636-4888
But a better plan would be to go to Sterling Friday and caravan out with me Anne and Mike early Saturday morning.
There are a few hotels in Sterling right down the road from Farmer's.

Okay, that is good. We can meet there. I have not booked a room but will likely get on at Super8 like Mojo recommended.

Rob, I will be sure and meet with you but remember, I ain't driving 135 MPH! 9-14 above the posted is all you will get from me.

Hey, Guys I thought we were going to Luray on Friday and I booked there, I guess I'll have to change this and hook up with you guys. Edgar I'm bringing my daughter also. Maybe I can hook up with you and Rob on Friday to cruise to VA. You already know how Rob and I like to take it easy on the gas pedal :D

Tom that sounds like a plan. Maybe the two daughters won't get too bored. I have to go out and get her a Nellie Fratado CD before we go though.

Rob, thanks for not speeding.

John, welcome to the lower class. "We'll leave the light on for ya"

Remember guys, it's the Super 8 for Friday and the Days Inn in Luray for Saturday.
The Super 8 is only 1 mile from the entrance to the park, although we are meeting further down the road. Edgar, John, Tom, I'll give you a call during the week.

Chris, I'll talk to you tomorrow about it.

Tom, weren't you going to stay in Sterling like last time?
You know the cruise out there is half the fun.
