Shipping:
Obviously, your trucking companies will need a few days in advance to schedule collection of your equipment. Some of you might have already done so. If you are planning on having them show up on Wednesday, be ready to adjust that as needed.

Lodging:
We have notified the hotel of possible early departures and requested to allow us some flexibility. They haven’t responded yet, they might or might not grant us that, we are in contract after all. You might be charged for any unused nights if checking out early. We’ll get back to everyone on this as soon as we hear back.
