So, as promised, here are the specific details on hotel bookings if you are coming to Cordele. Daphne's Mum has had a block of rooms and cabins set aside at Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club. She has had both Villas, which I have been told are the same as rooms, and cottages, which include two bedrooms, one bath, complete kitchen, fireplace, large screened porch with rocking chairs and outdoor grill and picnic table. Daphne has told me they are kind of rustic, but if having a kitchen and a place to cook is important to you, then they might be the way to go. The rate is $119 a night for the villas and $169 for the cottages. There are taxes and fees of about 10 per cent. To make a booking at that rate you need to call 229-276-1004 and ask for the rate for the Burt-Wong Wedding Group. The group booking reference is #91102. If you are calling from within the United States you can use a 1-800 number and it is 1-800-459-1230. To get the rate you need to book for two nights as it is a weekend. The other hitch is that if you have to cancel your booking, you need to give 30 days notice. You have until Sept. 16 to make a booking at that rate, but don't wait until the last minute as they will only let has hold so many rooms and as people make bookings we can put others on hold. There are other options as there is the usual assortment of usual motels out by the Interstate, but they won't be as easy. Hope that helps and we're looking forward to seeing you all there.
A quick note about the cabins: they will sleep 8 people, as each of the two BRs has two double beds.
