On a HHonors Point Strecher 5 night award (65,000 points) at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. When we checked in I was expecting some Run-Of-House room in the back. Instead of being treated like freeloaders, we were given Royal treatment and accomadated in the Rainbow Tower, Diamond Head/Ocean View! What a pleasant surprise! Thanks Hilton.

Hope you and your wife enjoyed you stay in
Hawaii, PremEx!

Westin did the same for me in Maui... which
was partly pay (the business trip end) and
partly free nights (the fun trip end!)

Nice top floor room, on the honeymooners
floor (as I called it) with an Ocean view.
Small room in the corner but a terrific
view of the sunset (When I was IN the ROOM!)

I'm planning to use a HILTON award for the
Short Hills, NJ spa/resort as my birthday
gift to me. I figure with the money I save
on teh stay I'll treat myself to a complete
massage/makeover. With the Christmas rush
I'll need it! CATMAN
