I just saw that the W New York is $200/night over Spring Break :eek:

That's about $100 cheaper than usual.

Indeed I'm not...I'll be spending a lovely 65 minutes in the B Concourse in Memphis. Fortunately no Canadian Torture Tubes on Friday.

Figures that I learn of another Brazilian option here in RIC on my last planned night here for this project. :rolleyes: The initial service did leave a little to be desired. I was there with a group of 7. We'd made a reservation for 6p, arrived on time. They told us they were "preparing our table" when the restaurant was ~20% full, and it took 20 minutes to be seated.

I'm sure I'll be back out here though...If there's one constant in manufacturing, it's that operators always manage to screw things back up to their original state of craptitude.

The other thing is that my room rates are cancellable - I ended up saving a lot at HP BNA by checking each of the three days before Hockey Do (and cancelling / rebooking).

Then, in that case, Interstate is a no-brainer. Forgot that you weren't leaving the airport.

The AAA rate in many of these cases are about $1-2 more expensive and refundable. I might do that.

SPGs look quite nice too since I've got a bonus right now where each stay at a SPG property nets me an extra 1000 pt bonus on top of my regular earnings.

To get to Interstate, remember the gate is also a certain military bomber number. ;)

Rates in BNA tend to move in $10 increments, so a few days of discounting helps. And my terms on AAA with Hyatt is usually a 4 p.m. cancellation on day of stay - I've revised reservations on the afternoon of visits.

I've done those afternoon cancellations at a few properties...I've gotten 6 pm cancels at several Marriotts in the past.

Not to go all ALCO on you, but your FM suffers from a severe case of hemisphereiphobia. :rolleyes: I'd suggest a MR/trip to somewhere in Asia next year. :-:

:D:p:rolleyes:

My second date with my wife was to AC and we ate at Corky's. :-:

We have arranged our Christmas week logistics for the possibility of dinner in ACY on that Sunday. ^

I'm glad I am not the only one doing that New Years weekend. We are Hyatt hopping December 31 thru January 5. With the previous stay I have, I will end up with 3 FFN's and 8 stay credits for 2010 (unless I can plead for night of 31st for new year). Using the Hyatt gift checks, all of this is done for about $350-375.

Looks just like my Big Dig is going to look if it rains heavily over the next 3 weeks.

Sigh!

I'm back to being centered now. bugger all I can do about it, other than hit them where it hurts - in the pocketbook. So, I'll just deduct $500 per week delay from the final invoice and they can squeal for it.

Thanks, icurhere2. I['m over my rant now. Back to normal!



Yummy!

I'll keep you apprised once I hit the road Sunday. Submitting final grades and all the other :rolleyes:

I'm not even the only Boxer Hyatt hopping in WAS that week! And I already spoke to Hyatt about the 31 Dec / 1 Jan concern - I've heard twice that this would be interpreted as 2009 (like on a promotion - check-out has to be no later than the last day). I canceled my 31 Dec reservation.
