When I originally set up the rooms reservation I was told by all three hotels that the rooms did not have to be guaranteed by a credit card. The Red Lion in Richland and the Holiday Inn in Pullman have abided by that, but the Double Tree's system in Boise can't accept a reservation with out a credit card or a deposit. I talked to them and they were very nice, saying that we should not worry about it, they won't charge the card if you decide not to go. They just have to have it so there res. system will work. Sorry about that. Murphy at work.

P.S.
In all of the hotels, if we are going to arrive after 6 P.M. you will need to call ahead and give them a cc# to be sure the room will be held. But you knew that!
