Ah... Cannes... I think the IC Cannes was the reason I started lookin at IC's and the PC program. I was going to go to the South of France and I saw an opportunity to stay in a classy place for a little $ if I just joined the right cell phone company, etc... Well, have not been there yet (used the points at the Amstel) but will go at some point. Beach access fees? I didn't even factor that in... The fact that people can get rooms on points during the film festival is fantastic. It does not quite match up with my vacations (Californian teacher) but I'll work it out down the road.
