Thanks, I should have booked something weeks ago. I knew I was going regardless. If someone post a few suggestions, I'm going to book something tonight.
The VHSL link for Williamsburg lodging is not active. Not that that would help much, but you have to wonder what gives?
Years ago, before Va Beach became a winter time getaway destination, my wife and I rode down one January weekend, just to get away for a couple of days. We couldn't find a room. There was some huge youth soccer tournament that weekend. We eventually got help from a guy I know down there, that knows a guy, that knows a guy...! But man, I was sweating bullets that I was going to have to just turn around and go home. Something funny happened that weekend too.
It was a day about like today, sunny and fairly warm. I let my wife sleep, and went out and bought coffee and a paper. I sat down on a bench on the boardwalk. Rollerblades were all the rage back then, I looked up to see a REALLY old guy slowly, very methodically, all bent over, making his way down the boardwalk. I was thinking to myself, that poor old guy could easily fall and break a hip. Somebody needs to get those skates away from him.
About the time he passed me, the guy on the bench next to mine looked up from his paper and said, "well, hi Bill". Bill spun around backwards on his skates, straightened up and said, "well hey John, you are out mighty early. And Bill kept talking as he picked up speed, going backwards, effortlessly. I guess this was a good example of the "book by the cover, thing".
