[23:29] <bkerensa> reserving car and hotel tonight
[23:31] <valorie> oh, have they finally got the code for the hotel?
[23:31] <valorie> last I checked it wasn't done
[23:31] <valorie> time to make sure my son wants to attend again
[23:35] <bkerensa> valorie: how big is bellingham?
[23:35] <bkerensa> :d
[23:35] <bkerensa> I get 540 miles free with zipcar
[23:35] <valorie> not big at all
[23:35] <bkerensa> but if I go over I have to pay 0.45 a mile
[23:36] <bkerensa> lol
[23:36] <bkerensa> its 530 miles for the trip round trip
[23:36] <bkerensa> but thats with no driving in town
[23:36] <bkerensa> :P
[23:36]  * bkerensa crosses fingers
[23:36] <valorie> you can check with google maps for the diff between the college and the hotel
[23:37] <valorie> usually the Sat. night party is at the hotel, so no driving
[23:37] <valorie> except for maybe college --> lunch or dinner
[23:38] <valorie> usually not much driving involved
[23:38] <valorie> except up and back, which is a bit of a haul
[23:38] <valorie> gorgeous drive, though
[23:52] <seattlegaucho> valorie: last time the party was at the museum downtown
[23:53] <seattlegaucho> bkerensa: it's a college town mostly
[23:53] <seattlegaucho> WWU
[23:53] <bkerensa> oh I love colleges
[23:53] <bkerensa> :D
[23:54] <seattlegaucho> there are a couple of points of interest, ie: breweries and the ice shop downtown (can't remember the name, but it's well known)
