Proposed Itinerary.  (lodging locations now confirmed)


Each participant is responsible for making his/her own reservations at the designated lodging places shown below.  Luggage service will be provided only to these lodgings.  Please do not plan to stay elsewhere.  You must have reservations at one of these lodgings for each night you plan to be on the trip prior to submitting your registration forms.  As you make your reservations, fill in the confirmation number on the reservation forms (not yet available). This form should be returned to the Yocktrek coordinator by May 20th.
 
Rooms are held for our group at each lodging place through the reservation deadline date indicated.  After that, rooms may not be available, and the stated rate may not be honored. Cancellation policies vary widely between small local B&Bs/inns and large chain hotels, and each participant is responsible for their own cancellations.  Ask for and be sure you understand the proprietor’s cancellation policies.
 
Be aware that some small B&Bs/inns do not accept some forms of payment (i.e. credit cards); inquire about their policies and be prepared to carry checks or cash.
 
Due to lodging capacity limitations on some nights, some lodgings are designated (Full Occupancy Required!).  We strongly encourage you if possible to fully utilize the lodging capacity at those places by sharing rooms with a roommate.  We really need to double up in order to accommodate the whole trip (we won't ask you to share your bed, but please help us use all the beds). This will allow the trip to be enjoyed by as many participants as possible given the lodging constraints.  If you would like help finding a roommate, contact the Yocktrek Coordinator.
