Yahoo! I'm delighted - especially as I'm pretty sure there's no way for me to make either Munich or Boo-Doo (job situation change - it's a nice change, but it's making planning for travel a good deal harder.)

If anyone's a Hilton Ho - Quikbook has the Hampton Inn Soho at $159 night for the Gayla dates, fully cancelable. It's $228 prepay at Hilton's own site - is there a matching price policy for Hilton?

Yes, but it's not in The Hamptons, NY it's an actual hotel chain. You may not be familiar with the term "limited-service" :

Hampton Hotels, Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, and Hampton by Hilton are the names of a brand of hotels trademarked by Hilton Hotels Corporation. ... Hampton Hotels are considered limited-service hotels as they do not offer an on-site restaurant or amenities such as bell services and concierge found at full-service hotels. The Hampton hotel brand primarily caters to the budget-minded business and leisure traveler. As of March 2009, the chain comprises of more than 1,600 hotels.

And may I remind you all, I came up with the term. So, perfect line "comic name".

Thank you for the term! Please come if you can. Gaylas are always regrettably light on lesbians.

Flyertalk is regrettably light on lesbians. I went to one of the first Gaylas in FLL. And while everyone is welcoming, I was the sole lesbian there. Normally, I'd say the party was a bust, but that would seem to be a good thing.

Seems like someone needs to buy some toasters and start recruiting....

Wonderful!

I'll start discussing this more concretely and fix up the attendance list on the thread next month.
