Starwood included in my e-statement a very nice special for the DC Westins $139 plus breakfast and 1000 starpoints bonus. The Westin Embassy Row would be perfect for any Platinums attending the DO:

FWIW, seems that it'll probably only Saturday night for me - unless Friday night event(s) go really late! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

...and US Airways is offering a DC fare sale: http://www.usairways.com/promotions/...to_dc_sale.htm

I may be able to do Sunday brunch possibly, if I don't fall asleep at the Admirals club in JFK after watching the World Cup soccer final that morning just as I arrive back from Buenos Aires.

See you guys on Friday. Looking forward to it.

Hilton is offering very good rates in DC area this week/weekend at several hotels! Can't believe National Airport Hilton is offering $68 a nite and the one on Embassy Row(right in dupont circle area) is below $100...

Go to Hilton Web site to check all of them out if you can still change your reservations.

Washington, D.C. area
Hilton Crystal City at Ronald Reagan National Airport $68-$143/Night June 28-July 1
Hilton Arlington and Towers $75-$249/Night June 25, June 27-July 1
Hilton Silver Spring $75-$130/Night June 25-29

Just a note: that crystal city/DCA Hilton is a former Doubletree and I've held meetings there....dont expect much! And that Hilton on Embassy Row has some pretty retched rooms, too, i hear....but i've always gotten suites there, so dont know from personal experience...

Doc, sorry to leave you out. I am glad you can make it.

By the way, folks, I have rescheduled my lesson that was supposed to take place Saturday. It's supposed to be eight hours bottle to throttle minimum, and I shoot for 12. With you guys in town, a 10:00 AM lesson doesn't seem like a good idea.

I'm still working out my schedule. I have non-FF out of town guests. Grr. Trying. Hard.

I'm hoping to crash the party Friday night. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif

Bring them with! The more the merrier.

(also, this way I won't be the only one to BYOF.)
