What time are people arriving on Friday? Are we meeting at the hotel?
People arrive at all different times...most have not let me know when they plan to arrive. From experience 2 will be driving all night so they will arrive about 9am and will try to crash if a room is ready for them early.
All will use the hotel as the meeting point unless we head for dinner and people arrive when we are out for dinner. I usually suggest people just hit the few restaurants that are basically walking distance to the hotel as they are hungry because travel days are wonky for most people. As we get a better idea of when people plan to arrive we can figure a better plan out.
NOTE: Hotel check in is not until 3pm so arriving before that is not useful. If you do arrive early you can head over to the dive shop and get your rental tanks if you want... they can also be gotten early in the am on Sat which I will detail in the pre trip updates coming out today.
So I'll be doing all the major updates for the trip today. They will be in the TRIP PM since it sends a courtesy email whereas you have to log into the forums to see this information.
