BSL posted this tip on the Continental board; I thought it might be of more general interest. Here's the link: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum20/HTML/000575.html

Consider that with the blackout dates, unless you have a friend or family to stay with, you have to find a hotel room to stay for 3-4 nights. (Well, except if you're willing to depart December 31, and fly right back January 1. But then you'd have to be in the air at 11:59:59pm 31 December 1999, and on an international flight to boot....)

Thanks dgolds and bsl for posting this. I just booked it for myself and three friends. (At this price it was easy to find willing travel companions.) Should be a great way to start the year!
Just got off the phone with Continental. The agent was very surprised I got the special. He said availability was so limited and they had so many people calling up angry, that they pulled the promo info from the website.
