flamboyant 1, if i'm travelling solo, I'm fine with sharing.
cawhite60156, have you gotten in touch with RC for a better rate? It doesn't seem like they are running low occupancy when we visited them, and if my memory serves me right, they were running around 80% occp, predominately japanese...

And perhaps we should find nice restaurants that allow BYO.... yeah, i hate paying for something that i know I can get for half the price.... Assuming I make it to EZE this year, I'll save a couple of bottles for next year's Bali-Do. Will see what Gaucho100k recommends!

). Definitely your larger than suite - family studio - at the Westin was bigger than the suite I had stayed at RC long time ago.

I can be sure to bring some with me. I will be going back to EZE in March. Just in time to "stock up"
So for now put me plus one down for this fine event. Going to my first Do tomorrow and sure they'll explode on the scene.
