Hotels for the 'Fest

As mentioned in previous emails, I have reserved 4 double rooms at Home Base Alfa. Because of the price (mostly due to the dollar), I will continue to search for an alternative, as long as it is still convenient for us.

Munich, Germany (MUC) to Dayton, OH (DAY) on Tue, 29 Sep 2009
