Hello all...wanted to provide a follow-up to my original post in this thread. I stayed at the Comfort Inn for a couple of weeks. A decision had to be made, either I was going to shoot myself or find someone to do it for me. I took the third choice, which is to drive to a HI Express 41 miles away. Since it is about 95% Interstate of the 41 miles, the drive is not bad. I am still depressed over my lack of Marriott property stays. There is a CY 64 miles away and believe me the idea has crossed my mind a few times since January 1st. I hope to get back into the Marriott saddle sometime this year and keep my PLT status.
