Any interest in meeting up at either KGED or KWWD to attend the Cape May Lewes Ferry Wine cruise? Always a fun overnight trip with plenty of places to stay. Now if Mary's uncle will allow the use of his beach home......;)

Maybe. Let me check with the wife (she is the wine connoisseur) and see what our schedule looks like. Is going into WWD easier?

Taxi ride is much cheaper at WWD than GED and at WWD they have rentals at the airport. I might call Big Sky and check on local hotel rates and where they would put up folks that fly in.
 
Mary and I will be trying to book a room for the October 9th cruise. We will fly down on the 9th, do a late lunch then take the cruise. We plan on spending the night then flying out for breakfast in the morning. I'll post our hotel as soon as we book. We will rent a car through Ace Sharper at KWWD.

We managed to find a room......whew...what a search. It's a holiday weekend (Columbus day) and it's also Victorian weekend along with a wine festival and the wine festival cruise.

We found a room for one night at the Palace, they have a few rooms left.
