Extreme Veteran  405  Frisco, TX |  Subject: Ironman 2009Hello to my fellow Canadians. I am extremely excited and fortunate to join the ranks of participants for the 2009 IMC. Now from my user name you may have noticed that I live in Texas, thus I'm having a hard time finding lodging in Penticton. Its unreal how fast the event sold out - and even more so how fast lodging sold out. Im looking for a house to rent in the area for about 6 people. If you know of any websites that could point me in the right direction would be WONDERFUL. Thanks in advance! |

Extreme Veteran 664 Vancouver BC | Subject: RE: Ironman 2009 We were in Penticton from the Aug 29-Sept 2 and we were looking around to enquire about stays for next years IMC (I am not registered...but thought it would be fun to watch - or volunteer)...and we found MOST places were already completely booked. (It is especially hard for us because we are a large family - we used 3 rooms on this most recent stay!). I do recall that one place - I think it was called Shoreline????? it was on the West side of OK lake towards Salty's - anyway they said at that time they had two studios still available???? good luck - it surprised me how quickly it all books up too! |

| Extreme Veteran 664 Vancouver BC | Subject: RE: Ironman 2009 well - duh...I obviously didn't read your whole post - 2 studios aren't exactly going to cut it is it???? lol. Shoreline does have a 3 br suite - which we were enquiring about - but it is already booked. |

| Extreme Veteran 405 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman 2009 My wife asked if we could do that - although an RV from Dallas to Penticton would cost about $1k in gas alone. She just wants to bring the dogs - although the way lodging outlook is coming along this might be our only option. I also agree that having to confirm family / friends one year in advance is not an easy task. Im sure i'll book a 3-4 bedroom house and my wife and I will be the only ones who make it up there! Oh well - more room for the after party! |

Cheap, 20 minute walk to the start and cheap. Very nice people to, never raised a concern when my wife smashed my bike into the motel. lol...not. |
