Glad you posted this. I thought Thursday dinner was covered too, guess I better make plans!
 
I believe at NC Day 1's dinner is covered. But, we also have the Executive Dinner then.
 
Nope- day 1 at NC is always on our own, too. Day 2 is the Exec dinner.


The no dinner thing is actually part of the reason I planned the meet n greets at 7:00. If people just want to grab something at the restaurant where we're meeting before (or even at) our gathering, they have things available. It may not be super fancy, but who cares?
 
Ann, you are so on top of everything!

How can I estimate my meal coverage needs for a trip?

Are there ways to save on meal costs while traveling?

Yes, you can save on meal costs by opting for accommodations with kitchen facilities, dining at local markets or food stalls, taking advantage of lunch specials, and planning some meals in advance. Additionally, consider packing snacks or easy-to-prepare meals for days when dining out may be more expensive.

What types of meal plans are available for travelers?
