I had the same experience as Jean-Michel a couple weeks back: a young woman
at the Tazewell told me they were sold out, and I insisted a block of rooms
had been reserved, which she then grudgingly unearthed. Perhaps Peter could
mention this recurring problem to Tazewell management?
Best,
Rick Walter in Albuquerque

Getting Walter's message, I tried to make my reservations (May 25-28) at
the Tazewell and... it worked!
I don't know why, it's probably depending totally of the person you reach
there... I talked to the switching board woman (aparently everybody else
was busy...) - with a great sense of humor. She discovered the NAJVS code
and I got what Peter told us as conference rate.
I'm sorry, Walter, you got probably a person for whom his (or hers)
personal problems were bigger than your reservation call.
All NAJVS members will receive soon the March issue of our newsletter
Extraordinary Voyages with all infomation to make early reservations.
