It is strongly recommended that course participants make lodging arrangements as soon as possible. Many area condos and hotels will fill up quickly because of the Harvest Moon Regatta in early October.

A block of 15 rooms are reserved at the Holiday Inn Express under the name Texas Shrimp and Marine Finfish Course. The block is for the nights of 9/29/09 to 10/05/09. If course participants fill at least 10 of the rooms, the rates will be $79.00 per night, except for 10/1/09 and 10/02/09 (Harvest Moon Regatta), which will be $139.00 per night. If course participants don’t fill 10 rooms, the rates will go up to $89.00 a night for all nights except 10/1/09 and 10/2/09. The Holiday Inn Express is located at 727 S. 11th Street, Port Aransas, and the phone number is 361-749-5222. All reservations must be made by August 17, 2009.
