Drew Davis has arranged a Marine Command Briefs at MacDill Air Force Base with the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
socom.mil/default.aspxs. You can stay an extra day at Lido Beach, or move to the Temporary Military Lodging on MacDill. It is new and very nice. Of course active duty personnel have the first call on quarters so it is possible you could get bumped.
The new and nice MacDill Inn is located at 7637 Bayshore Blvd., Bldg. 350. Reservations can be made in advance by emailing macdill.inn@us.af.mil or calling the MacDill Inn Reservations Office, DSN 312-968-4259 or 813-828-4259.
Attendees and Brief on the folks going to MacDill on Wed. You should be able to edit this document yourself - please make it mo bettah. Or you can email your scoop to me and will add it.
Byron notes that you can see 100's of Manatees (Sea Cows) at the Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach, which is off of I-75 on the way from Sarasota to MacDill. The viewing is free and is located at the discharge of a power plant, where the Manatees gather for the winter. It is on the way to MacDill.
Google map directions - Lido Resort to Manatee viewing at the TECO Big Bend Station to MacDill AFB. It takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to MacDill via the Manatee viewing at Teco Big Bend Station, so allow enough time to get to MacDill for the 1330 brief. You can see the Manatees in 20 minutes or so.

I will then take care of their reservation while I have them on the phone and add rooms to the block. This will be better than you having to be the middle person and will allow me to identify any issues with the block as they come up.

Lido Beach Resort
Rooms are expensive in Florida in the winter and the Lido Beach Resort is very nice. You can get a little lower cost room at two close by hotels - The Holiday Inn at Lido Beach
__ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/sarasota/srqlb/hoteldetail
and the Sand Castle Lido Beach
___sandcastlelidobeach.com
An even lower cost option would be to stay at the lodging at MacDill Air Force Base, which is a little over an hour from the Lido Beach Resort. Of course you have the commuting costs.
___af.dodlodging.net/propertys/MacDill-AFB
There are also numerous lower cost motels on Rt 41 a few miles north of downtown Sarasota.
Getting here - From Tampa International Airport TPA. The Tampa Airport is large and provides relatively low air fares. The Sarasota Bradenton Airport is close to St Armands, but a little more costly to fly into. srq-airport.com. Allegiant Air also offers low cost air from many small airports in the north to either St Petersburg-Clearwater Airport or Punta Gorda.
