For those on the BOX run does anyone want to hotel out by JFK or just do a morning run to the airport? Also what about sharing rooms at MEX? Let me know and I can make reservations!!

When I was booking one of the flights on CO.com and using my $300 voucher I almost had a heart attack as the ETC was not working and I had many scenarios going through my head. In the end the agent was able to find the voucher and apply it properly. That saved me lots on the fare. I will be doing BNA-EWR-ALB on the way up and ALB-CLE-ORD-IAH-BNA on the first run and BNA-CLT-JFK-CLT-BNA on the second one. I could not find anything to creative to get more lines and airports on the second one.

it all depends on how much I sleep before the flight :D

I am not planning to book any hotels, I am getting in LGA some 6 hours before the flight, then going to JFK. From there.....I am wingin it!

if someone has a floor in a hotel, I can sleep there, not picky. If someone wants to camp at the airport, I am game.

So, February will be a fairly good Hyatt month for me. I will have at least 4 stays, 3 of which are work related. I love the fact that my company gives us an additional 1,000 GP points. ^

Stay warm in the Museum of Science and Industry. I'm a museum hater but I really loved that place. Lakeshore is a great place to stroll. And Sears Tower is a must. (what the heck are they calling it these days??). Be on the lookout for great food too. I love ORD - you will have a great time! ^

MSI is free on Sunday (14th)^
Planetarium free on Friday (12th)

There is also the Auto Show... could be interesting...

Oh, and the tower is the Hancock tower IIRC...

Sears Tower = (Whatchu Talkin' 'bout) Willis Tower

Hancock Tower is better, IMHO. Free admission if you go up to the bar at the Signature Room on the 95th Floor.

We're scheduled to depart during the height of the :rolleyes: so the entire SFO piece of the weekend might be a fail regardless of a connection in CLE or EWR. :(

We should be able to at least get a weekend in DC out of it.
