What can I say, you people are Great!

I dont plan to stay at the MO as that means we have to pay for it. From what I understand and will do further investigation , when the MO closed for renovations that 2nd floor meeting was KOed and everything is done on Macdonnell Rd now. I know the MO reopened but I was given to believe that the 2nd Floor meeting if it takes place is done by those who are there by themselves and not as an organized thing any longer of the Macdonnell folks. I can be Wrong as Ive been on alot so far in regards to HK.

Looks like our plan will be stay somewhere cheap (yeh right in HK) the night we arrive, I get in at 8p and my friend 11p, no sense heading over to a fancy place when a bed and hot shower will be all either of us wants. The same probably for our last night as my flight is 11a and his 7a. Or we just might do 2 nights at Hyatt followed by 4 at Conrad followed by 2 at Hyatt. The 4 Conrad with my pts, and the 4 Hyatt with his FFNs.

I do agree the Bishop Lei makes alot of sense for 2 of the nights but that will KO The Conrad where the best deal is an AXON which requires 4 Consectutive nights otherwise instead of 125k in HH pts it will be 40k per night. So the AXON is really stay 3 get the 4th free pts wise. I know 2 + 4 =6 but Im not looking to use my pts unless I'll be staying at a Hyatt somewhere for 4 nights with my friend by the end of Feb.

it would have been alot better if NWA & CO gave each others Members 100% EQMs instead of only 50%, no one wants to KO 8000+ in EQMs.

For both of us its a MR and Jan is very cheap to HK. 16k EQMs. At least CO requires at least a 6 day stay otherwise the fare goes way up, thats why we were always looking on how to brake up the Hotels into 6 nights. Since he has 5 FFNs he wants to get his $$$ worth out of them. I have in excess of 1m HH pts so 125k is a drop in the bucket, and about time to start burn some, so does he.

Again you people have been tremendous, THANKS
