[seek-taxon] January SEEK meeting - URGENT

[Beach, James H]

Thanks Laura,

Just called also, they had the correct nights for me, but others should
check.  I've had similar issues with that hotel in the past.  A little
disorganized sometimes but friendly.

Nico -- are you coming to the meeting?

Jim

FYI, I just called to cancel one of my nights stays since I'm only going
to be there for one day of the SEEK Taxon meeting scheduled for Jan
30/31.

I wanted to let everyone know that they had my reservation completely
wrong and had me booked for arriving the next day and reserved for FIVE
days.  So I would suggest that people double check their reservations
just to be sure.

Bob originally reserved things for people and then asked us to call and
confirm which I did on December 22 for only 2 nights for the SEEK Taxon
meeting.  I suspect that somehow communications are getting a bit
crossed and when we say the NESCent meeting they assume we are there all
week or something.

Anyway, just wanted to let people know in case they want to double check
their own reservations.
