Thank you all.  Following the advice you gave, I called Tazewell again and insisted we had a block etc.  And I won out, after a three-way talk with them.  My wife and I have registered there for Thursday-Sunday, May 25-28.  The rates are much better than Radisson's, which I canceled after the good news at Tazewell.  See you all then. ---- Does anybody know whether Zvi will make it this year?  Can we mount a pressure campaign to get him to come?  Cheers!  Walter James Miller.

Dear All, I'm so sorry you' ve been having trouble with the Tazewell hotel...they have been erratic to say the least, and I'll bring this up to their management. Keep trying to focus on the rooms that have been blocked...meanwhile, the Radisson indeed should have a rate of $89 (I'll try to get an Old Dominion U rate for that...meanwhile, there is also the Sheraton which is quite nice, but more expensive at $100) See you all soon!

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.
