[va-richmond-general] Re: Hotel Recommendations

The only place I have stayed overnight in the Delmarva peninsula was in
Salisbury, MD. I drove through the Eastern Shore, but stopped only once in
the daytime without staying overnight at Kiptopeke, where I got a good
picture of an osprey sitting on her nest on a piling in the harbor there.
Did you check prices on the Internet or in AAA's tour guides? No, Christmas
Day or Eve is just as good as any other time; people still check their
email; at least, I do. And the long-distance weather models, which earlier
had suggested a snowstorm and cold snap early in January, are now saying
that it is going to be mild during the period with rain on the 5 th. I think
the whole winter will be mild due to global warming.

I accidentally sent this to Julie yesterday instead of to the group.  Here's
my request.

 

I know Christmas Eve is not the best time to send out a request, but I'll be
reading feedback into next week.  I'd like to spend a couple of days birding
and relaxing on the Eastern Shore early in January, preferably closer to VA
and thus less driving.  The Blue Heron looks good near Chincoteague, but
that's farther than I want to drive if something is closer, perhaps near
Kiptopeke.  I saw that the Sunset Beach Inn near the cape is very close to
birding and has hosted birding events.  Let me know recommendations.  Price
is probably a key factor.  I'm often frugal, and sometimes downright cheap,
but I might move away from budget accomadations if something sounded nifty
and not too expensive.  Closeness to good food is also a plus.  Other
attractions can also be a factor.

 

Thanks,

 

Diane Bumpass
