Fly up to escort us back down to the event. You get miles that way. :p

I was going to say it reminded me of the ex-Radisson "Hotel Syracuse".

except the Syracuse hotel probably did not get hit with 90mm shells fired from a tank.

Ok, someone make up their mind. IAH or EWR land?;)

At those prices why not do a roaming DO! Start in one city with lunch and dinner in the other city and then breakfast back in the first?

You're correct. I believe they were 85mm RPG's.

Strange, I've seen some hotels that looked that had in PHX.

Not a bad idea! A day trip from IAH to NYC would save on a :rolleyes: hotel. And then us NYC folks could head south in the evening for DO part deux.

How :rolleyes:, a cash only business.

The reverse is possible also, though it looks like you have to go through PHL to make it work.

Just noticed that LAS is no longer in location? Did you move out of LAS now?

I think I'm even free January 16/17 ... It's right between trips to SEA/SFO and SEA (only people here would appreciate that :p). Is that when the PRG DO is?

If the IAH contingent wants to come here, I've got several ideas for places to go...

16/17 is PRG DO.

I've got a transit of both CLE and IAH on 12/19 or 12/20... about to purchase the ticket. Something in IAH?

Moving two weeks from today, but I will be a frequent visitor next year to LAS. :D

WWTBD ~

1. LAS-IAH-LGA for $129 a/i
2. LAS-EWR for $135 a/i

The flights arrive +/- 30 mins of one another and, with LGA being closer, the door-to-door time is a wash. Normally, I would take the connection and extra 400 miles but I will be checking 2 bags.

SkyTeam USA has a cheaper non-stop ($120) but they are on my :mad: list.
