Lodging:
Autumn in the Hudson River Valley means beautiful sights, but hotel options are scarce. Hotels were not able to offer room blocks for our group this time. We encourage you to book something as soon as possible, especially if it's refundable! That being said, there are several local places to investigate aside from AirBnB:

• Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kingston-Ulster
• Hampton Inn Kingston
• Residence Inn by Marriott Kingston
• Jenny's Country Manor Lodge
• Roosevelt Inn of Hyde Park
• Lake Taghkanic State Park Campground
  
• Let’s lean on our member directory to make this a fun and affordable trip for each other. Please contact the board if you are solo and would like to share a room with someone!
  
• Itinerary:
• Friday: Arrivals, Dinner, Hanging out
  Saturday: Meeting 9am, Lunch 12pm, Air Show 2pm ($34), Museum until 5pm, Dinner 6pm
