Well, I've got my hotel room reserved now just in case things fill up! I'm staying at the La Quinta.
I reserved one there too- it even has it's own SSSSSCY pool. It's a shuttle stop too, which is nice.

Anyone know when the meet information and sign up will be available online? I know it was in USMS Swimmer last edition.
Online is so easy!
I am surprised that a number of hotels are already sold out - no doubt some people planning on traveling to this meet. Lucky for me my in-laws live 15 minutes south of Fresno, so my accommodations have been "pre-arranged".

Thanks 'Noid. I grabbed 5 at the Rodeway which is on the shuttle route for 85 bucks per. What a deal. :applaud:
I'd been meaning to do so much earlier and keep getting waylaid.

Howdy Clovis Folk and Pacific Masters...
Keep hearing that the pool is great and those of use from the Midwest can't wait to be outside again.
Can any of you weigh in on the local goodies though? Restaurants, Eats, things to do...etc. I can see the travel guide recommendations all over the web. But it'd be fun to hear from some of you locals so we don't miss something fun.
Best!
It will be a tad late, but the blossom trail (a local attraction that showcases all the stone fruit trees in the region) is interesting if you enjoy nature and/or agricultural production. Fresno has really grown in the past few years, so it now has the majority of the "big city" chain eateries (Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's, California Pizza Kitchen, Hooter's??) as well as shopping/stores. Some of the prominent shopping areas will be Fig Garden Village (off Shaw I believe), Riverpark (on Blackstone past Herndon) and Fashion Fair Mall (Blackstone and Shaw).
If you are looking for more "cultural" or "historical" places to visit, downtown Fresno has a recently renovated museum (The Met) and some attractions surrounding that area. Also we have a local AAA Baseball club (The Grizzlies) that might or might not have games in town at that time. It is also a short drive up to various National parks and lakes.
Nice prices right now on flights so I just got a roundtrip. Washington-Dulles to Fresno for 356 w/taxes and fees. Doesn't look like it's going to be as expensive as I thought. :applaud:
