VaBch in late MAR? The very height of Spring Break Season. Why not downtown Norfolk? Hampton? Detroit or Chicago in JAN? Heck, even DC. Why not San Diego in FEB? Perhaps the Seattle area in JAN? Jacksonville in early AUG.

Whatever; you can't object to anything these Diversity Bullies do. College Spring Break in VaBch: go get your freak on, Shipmate - and hide your head in shame.

I'm sorry, but, I'll call it. This conference at this location at the height of College Spring Break is fraud, waste and abuse. $150-$200 per night - gov'munt rates.
