Really? No Hyatt in New Orleans. That shocks me.

Thanks again for pointing out that promo. I'm registered now. I'm looking at earning about 20,000 SPG points this month now.

I stayed at the Hyatt in MSY (Superdome attached) the January (early Mardi Gras) before Katrina. Hotel was hit hard -- it was an OK hotel. Hyatt doesn't seem to be rushing back into that market.

Greetings and good night, Box. Went to Teh Mom's for dinner. Up early tomorrow for completely irrelevant industrial safety training. Hotel, not chemical company. No one there is willing to read that memo.

I was going to wait out the UDU, but with only a couple of E+ middle seats open, and pretty much nothing left in E- but a few exit row seats, that plane is looking very full. I'd rather not chance it.

Really looking forward to that flight, even though I'll be cursing it the night before and morning of, given the buttcrack-of-dawn departure time.

Sounds like a good decision - enjoy your in-flight nap!

Any chance that flight is on the 16th? If so, what time do you get in to ORD? I'll be there between 10am and noon.
