Subject: [ECC]The Multitudes of Lancaster Housing Woes
I see I'm not the only one with temporary housing excitement. (Let's just say the Canadian contingent from Ottawa will be "cozy"....). I'm lucky I've got a nice chunk of floor already picked out.... (and being Canadian, and living in an Igloo, crowding is a common phenomenon.... I just wonder if the management will balk when we try to sneak in 12 malamutes and huskies). It seems to me we have a number of people short of rooms. Of course, like me, they were all unwise enough to leave booking until late (lesson for following year!). OTOH, there seem to be enough people it might be worthwhile for someone to do some looking into other nearby or not so nearby options and what carpooling in from another hotel options might be feasible. I'd hate to see anyone not make it just because all the rooms at the inn were full. There ought to be a manger somewhere..... and Lancaster has to have some other hotels/motels. If one had to be sought offsite for several people, some sort of pooled transport would probably make it a fairly simple operation. Just a thought. Tomb Raider PS - When I saw the Brits hitting the beaches in Spain, I was curious if they thought they were getting in some holiday time. Or were they going with their own Monty Python skit.... you know.... "Nobody Expects......A British Invasion!".
