That's good at least.

Great! Is it still at 6:30PM. This will be my first meeting with anyone in the box. When I get to Big Eds, how will I know who I'm meeting with!!! Do you have a giant yellow FT sign on the table :D:D

It certainly would surprise me if you don't immediately spot this motley crew,

Finding us is half the fun. ;)

Well, I don't know about half. There will be lots of ribs and beer.

If it does go through, remember to call up the SPG Plat Concierge and have them contact your L.A. hotel, to refresh the reservation (to reflect your status) on their end...

Thanks, will do. I haven't booked the LA reservation just yet. I'm waiting just a few more days, because of the status match, and also to see what next week's Starpicks are.

It's quite a drive from SEA-TAC, but it looked good. It's not huge, so 1.5 hours should be plenty of time. I've not been inside past the lobby (I was with a group and we were looking for the ME-262 people). The Museum of Flight restoration facility is excellent, and right there, too. I don't know their hours but it's worth a trip if you're into airplanes and in the area. Also at Paine Field is the ME-262 project. If you want to stop in there I suggest you give them a call to make sure they're in.

How long does it take to get there from SEA-TAC (by car)? I think it closes at 5:00, and my flight arrives at 2:49.

That's good.

Given that you have a GM, it may also be a dead alternator, which led to a dead battery. Be sure to have them check that.

The Boeing Factory or the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field?

Boeing Factory is at least a 45 minute-1 hour drive. The Museum of Flight at Boeing Field is only a 10-15 minute drive from SEA.

Never mind. Somehow missed your previous post about where you were really going.

I am trying to decide if I want to stay in the Blackstone ORD or stick with my Renaissance near ORD and save $100. The Blackstone looks amazing.
