Let me make sure I'm back in school when I meet you!!! :P :P :D

Hmmmm. time to give my PhD a bit more thought.... Hahahahahaha!

At least still more than two weeks to think about it some more. Perhaps the wings will direct you then? :D :D

Ok that's it. I am confirmed. Booked 2 nights at the Westin and still yet to book my flights but I don't think it's a problem.

See you all there.

I was trying to think of the best way to twist kluau88's arm... :D

^ Looking forward to seeing you again since you've been missing the past few months of Chicago festivities!

Awesome....another one at the Westin... ^ ^ ^

DADDY: ;) I am not working ... help me with the hong bao for achieving LPPS sooner ... :D You are a :-: Daddy!!! :p

So...are we bringing bottles for the bday kids (i.e. 3 of us)???

By bottles I mean wine.

So can the Plats get us lowly Golds into the Westin's lounge for drinkies in the evening?

I have mentioned to Cawhite60156 that I will bring Krug for her pool party (courtesy of SQ of course), and she mentioned about bringing wine as well. Since most of us will be at Westin, I assume the famous rubber duck pool party will be held at Westin. Paging Cheryl to the front desk please :cool:

Someone paged?
 

That would be "our" pool party, ahem... (I would say "the" pool party, but I suspect there will be 2 of them) I'll plan to bring a couple bottles of wine or whatever else we all decide on. We will also have birthday cake at the Friday evening pool party, courtesy of the Westin. :) I kinda mentioned my b-day in my res and received a VERY kind e-mail (as mentioned above) which also indicated they'd be pleased to provide a comp'd birthday cake ^

WOW, great to hear that the Westin will provide the b'day cake. I am really looking forward to be there. Looks like fun at the pool party after looking at the pictures of the hotel again.

I was definitely surprised (pleasantly so!) when I received the e-mail offering the cake. That's a really nice touch for them to do for a guest. ^ But frankly, I'm just hoping it puts me higher on the upgrade list than the other PLTs in the group :D

That and your 4000 posts.

You think it would be overkill if we mentioned that there were 3 of us (I think) staying at the Westin and on/close to our bdays?

I'll ring a coupla bottles of good white wines...

Well, I haven't received any email from Westin yet, so I guess you're way up there on the priority list...

so much for my suite.... :rolleyes:

I could let them know who in our group is staying there?
