Old Gold, your post encouraged me to try Priceline. I got the Airport Hilton at $31. The cheapest rate available directly with the hotel was $89, so this is a great savings.

SanDiego1K, you coulda posted another seven hundred and two posts without tellin' Old Gold that he bid TWO dollars TOO much for his Priceline hotel. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Indeed, as of now I expect to be back in Atlanta on Tuesday, so I am still confirmed for the Phoenix dinner on Saturday.

Of course, the INS can still play spoiler, but I'm not expecting any more hassles.

(edited to correct day of the week)

"MarritoGold" ... a new drink: It sounds like it might have tequila in it, so LexPax wouldn't like it, but I might.

I hope there's room for another couple of FTers. Lex and I are scheduled into PHX at 5:30 pm on the 27th. Assuming the plane is not too horribly late, we'll pick up a car and go straight to the restaurant.

We'll need something nice to look forward to as we're flying out in steerage. I'll work on a recipe for MarritoGold... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

This is going to be a blast!!! I may have to priceline an airport hotel so I can drink lots of those Maritto Golds http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Wow! Glad to see so many FlyerTalkers have signed on to this event, it should be a great time. Thank you jan_az for organizing what will be the largest FlyerTalk event ever in PHX.

Can anyone offer me a ride to/from the airport area? Will be at the Radisson (early PL bid) from around 3:30-4 onward.

Gee, I just found this thread, and I'll be in San Jose that night http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif . Please keep me informed of other gatherings in our fair city here (maybe at a D-Backs game?).

I'd be happy to offer you a ride to and from the Radisson. Too bad it was Radisson that accepted your priceline bid. They are the weakest link amongst Phoenix Airport-area hotels. Don't let them stick you in a second floor room http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif.

Regretfully, due to circumstances beyond my control and the will of the INS, I will be unable to attend the Phoenix event.
