Zenkitty! Hooray!

The airport is about a 12-minute drive from my house, though that number can increase dramatically during rush hour -- seems like traffic has gotten much worse here lately. But it's otherwise an easy drive and not too far. There aren't many hotels right in my 'hood, so anywhere either downtown or near the airport would work just fine.

Looks like that one is at about $178 which is still pretty high. Want to take a look at this list and see if there's something that works for you guys? We also don't have to be at the same hotel if it's going to be a hassle. [link]

Airbnb is also an option, especially if you guys wanted to share a place (Liese, I'm not sure what your needs are for the weekend, so I don't know if that will work for you). This place is just a couple miles from my house, in a nice little neighborhood -- just across the street from the last place we lived before we bought our house! [link]

Yay, Zenkitty! So glad you are coming!

Airbnb would be super awesome and that house looks great, but I have zero cash, so what's happening is that I'm redeeming points on my hotel loyalty program for a free room, thus the restrictive choices (haha, pun intended) of the Choice Hotels brands for me. But like I said, I don't have to do the same thing as everybody else, necessarily.

I would totes come to Nashville to see Ginger.

Yup.

I can do Choice Hotels, Liese. It would be nice to be in the same hotel, if that's possible.

The timing is not going to work out for me. Have fun!

I think timing is going to be tight for me too, though I might be able to make a day trip in on the 28th if anyone is gathering for dinner.

I'll be gathering for dinner...
