This is an extraordinary rate for this part of the world! I know many will choose not to stay at the hotel and just commute to the hotel for convention sessions, but you may want to think about whether or not a few nights in a lovely hotel are a better notion, especially if you are like me and don’t want to have to wake up super early and Uber my way all the way over to Tyson’s Corner in the morning. If you share a room, it may not be much more money if you have to spend a lot to travel back and forth. Just something to think about.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In any case, the Westin reservation number is 888-627-8970.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tell them you are attending the NFB of Virginia state convention in order to get the convention rate. I believe only rooms with two double beds are available under this rate. So bring a friend, or just toss your bag on the other bed and you are good to go!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Brian R.
