It may be COLD, so this will warm you up. You need to RSVP to Sue or michaeljensen@remax.net , walk ups will be $25 on the day if no RSVP.

Hotel rooms and beds

Everyone will be required to put down their own credit card for tax and incidentals at the hotel.

The Marriott has given me an update on rooms, everyone who wanted 2 Queen beds is confirmed. Those opting for King beds have not been confirmed. There is no guarantee you will get the "kings"

Here is what they wrote:

"It means not available based on our inventory now. They COULD be available upon check-in. However, the guaranteed rooms WILL have their preferred bed type. Any other questions, let me know! "

THE TRIP!!!!

The most important thing to know is that the bus will be leaving at 7am on Saturday!!! This will give us enough time to tailgate and tour the campus :) donuts, bagels and beverages will be on each of the two busses.

There will be a tailgate near the bus parking area. Cost is $20/pp. Menu will be added to this post sometime today.

The room at Gene and Georgettis is filling up fast. This is an optional event. This is EXTRA, but something you do not want to miss. Dinner is at 7pm. Info is in a post below.

My cell number is 719-338-3570. I invite you to call me from your cell number so I can put it in my phone during the trip. We do not want to leave anyone behind. (well a couple of ya need to watch out :)

GO FALCONS!!!

It is almost HERE!

It is going to be such a great trip. If you are planning to go to the Gene and Georgettis Dinner on Friday, please let me know at michaeljensen@remax.net

As we get ready for the AFA Falcons to beat Army, I will have the itinerary posted by Monday.

The BUS leaves for NOTRE DAME AT 7 AM!!!!!! Please do not be late!!

Our chariots await!

We will be using All Star Coachways. With this "all-star' line up of travelers, there can be no other choice. The game starts at 2:30 EDT, and we are still planning on leaving the hotel at 8:00 that morning. Therefore, using my limited math skills, we should arrive at ND around 11am EDT, giving us 3 1/2 hours to tour the campus and enjoy the tailgate.

This is going to be fun!!!

Notre Dame Invoices for Hotel, etc

I will be working on invoices for the hotel and bus trip after the Navy game this weekend. I will also need to know if you will be dining at Gene & Georgettis on Friday night. As always if you have any questions please email me at michaeljensen@remax.net

Where the buses will park/Tailgate

When you look at the stadium, go south. Out buses will park just north of Edison Road in the area marked BUSES :)
