Hey Melons, I booked my hotel today and discovered there is an event in Lafayette the weekend of the vigil. Hotel prices are frigging sky high!!!! Thought I'd provide some info. for those of us arriving from the north. The cities directly north (on 65) of Lafayette, IN include Remington and Rensselaer. I found the following info. for Remington, IN: Super 8 Remington Inn 4278 W US 24 Remington, IN 47977 888-872-8356 $65-$75
Holiday Inn Express 4788 Nesbitt Drive Rensselaer, IN 47978 219-866-7111 $82-$92
Knights Inn Rensselaer Inn 8530 West State Road 114 Rensselaer, IN 47978 219-866-4164 $52-$70
Hope this helps!!!!!!!! Count down to VIGIL '06. Melon Love, Shanny Grrl

I heard there is some sporting event with the college? but I really don't know? Many of the Lafayette hotels are booked up, and others still quoting prices are $120-$175. But there is also camping south of Dayton. I didn't even bother to find a place to stay until I got there last year. Melons are good about taking care of their own. We'll figure it out!!!!!! Melon Love, Shanny

Thanks for posting that Shanny!!!! Im really starting to panick with this hotel deal... I cant afford that and plus everyone I was going with aren't gonna make it which makes everything more difficult. To top it off plane tickets for that time went wayyyyy up and I really dont know if I'll be able to afford it... Guess Im just gonna wait a little and see how it goes.. I NEED to go, this could be my last vigil in awhile and I just have to make it

Oh nooooo, Gabbee and Fer! Don't be sad like that! You're gonna find a way! You're both on myspace so you got this message but I thought I'd post it here and remind you (at least Gabbee, I don't know if you have the same problem Fer...) and let other melons know too! And Gabbee you're one of the people who let me know how melons are always taking SO MUCH care of other melons so even if people that you thought you're going with won't go this shouldn't be a problem, especialy if you're taking the plain anyway! Unfortunatly I can't really help anyone, I'm way too far to make it myself anyway...but I WILL next year! I HAVE to! Wishin you good luck with everything and I think I don't even have to say have the best time ever there! #rock# This is the message from Sarah:

Yes I know this is pretty absurd, the hotel prices are very expensive I have a reaservation at the Knights Inn and I'll pay 44.99 USD for Friday 22, and 115.00 USD (or more) for Saturday and for Sunday night, total 275 USD, plus the flight and the rest. But I'll have a roommate with me and we'll to share the costs. Anyway Gabby Fer, you have to make the Vigil!!!!! I will stay at the Knights Inn and if you won't be able to find a room to stay I'd like to help you both, you could stay with me and Jamie my roommate, I'll ask to her, and you both knows the way for the hotel. #thumb# So let me know if you need any help in this matter.

Thank you so much girls!!! It's been pretty insane for me... I still dont know if I'll be able to make it or not, but as I just told Bumcakes, if she and Marika can make it all the way from Europe, then heck I have to as well!! Plus, I cant let you two girls come all the way to America and not see you! So I promise I'll do my best to get over there, and Marika.. Thank you SO much for the offer and if all else fails I will deff consider. Thank you thank you thank you and you were right Barb, I should have never underestimated the generosity of melonheads! You all rock and I love you!
