It seems that everything is more expensive in Europe (duh!)
Anyone stay at the Choice Bolivar in Rome? I'm travelling with my family on that $200+ AF "mileage run" fare, and the Bolivar will allow 4 people in a room. The "Preferred" hotels in Rome are all 40,000 or 50,000 points, and I don't think they allow more than 3. I was hoping to use the "winter promo" to book 2 rooms for a COMBINED 40,000 per night. Oh well. Looks like we'll be "slumming" it.
