Duncan McGuyver Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Aye, I will be going back this year, but I don't have any lodging suggestions. I am sure one of the members of Blackbeards Crew on here will pick up the thread and provide one.

Gentleman of Fortune Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Its actually a fun gig. I did it in 2000 and had a blast. They welcome both Historical and Fantasy pirates. If you need a place to stay, you might go to the re-enactor section and follow the links to one of the "hosting" groups. Some of them are local to the Hampton area and might have tips on some cheaper places to stay. Also, Newports News airport is a little closer to the Gig than Norfolk, but I have no idea what kind of prices they have. There is onsite "camping" with the re-enactors, if that is your pleasure. Hoprefully, it won't be more than 95 degrees and 99% humidity that early in June If you can make a week out of it, the following weekend is a HUGE waterfront festival.... Nofolk's Harborfest (again this is in Virgina, about 25 miles from Hampton) You can go in pirate kit if you like, but you might just enjoy the wandering around with the other 500K people that enjoy the tall ships, entertainment and other fest events. It would be very easy to kill a week in the "local" area. Yorktown, Newport News (Mariner's Museum in Newport News is WORLD CLASS), Historic Norfolk, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Virginia Beach are all well within 1 hour from Hampton. If you haven't planned a summer vacation yet, it may be one of the best weeks spent in a long while for you. Maybe I should work for the tourist board..... Come aboard my pirate re-enacting site http://www.gentlemenoffortune.com/ Where you will find lots of information on building your authentic Pirate Impression!

For more info try here:Hampton Blackbeard Festival Does anyone know the names of the hotels near there??? As far as location goes you cannot beat the Radisoon Hotel. It is right on the waterfront in the heart of all the action. It however is not cheap. $129.00 - $179.00 There are other hotels but most of them are 3 to 5 miles away. There is another housing arrangement usually reserved for participating pirates but I am not sure yet if that is available this year.

Lady Steele, Though me starting point is already from within the Commonwealth of Virginia, me own carriage ride to Hampton is 4 hours in the one direction, I think the trip is well worth making.

Nelson Cooke Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 You bloaks are PAYING for hotel rooms? I need one too. Maybe we can pirate the Ramada. If that doesn't work, as a fallback, how much of a disadvantage trafficwise and crap like that, would it be to stay at a place three or four miles out?
