How much money to bring? and gym bag Q

[mabdoo]

I know that Cathe has stuff for sale but does she take credit cards or just cash? Also, to fit everything I will need for Sat, clothes, towels, etc I will need a huge bag? Are the lockers big enough for a big bag or should I just put my small stuff like wallet etc in a locker? For some reason little things like this get me nervous. I am fine once I see how it goes but until then I worry.

I was also wondering will there be "Featured products" offered at the RT?

Mabdoo - I'm pretty sure they take credit cards. I never carry cash and I always come back with a stash of stuff!

I usually bring a big pink gym/duffel bag. I have never used the lockers though. I always just set my bag to the side of the room where I can see it. Any valuables like my wallet, camera, etc.. I put under my step when stepping or in my bag off to the side. I'm not sure I could fit my bag in a locker even if I wanted to. In some years past, they have had a locked room for us to store our bags in.

They definitely take credit cards. I remember using mine.

I've used a locker at both of the RT's I've been on. The secure room is nice, and I know some people prefer to do that, but I like being able to access my stuff anytime I want to without having to find someone to unlock the room, especially since I am prone to forgetting things. I brought a few bucks' worth of quarters in a ziplock bag, and never used more than $1.50 - $2.00 for the whole weekend, if that. For a gym bag I always use a backpack (like a regular school-sized one), and it always fits fine in the locker. Not sure if anything much bigger than that would fit, though.

HTH!
