Next Friday conference Hotels?

Post by bugsntazz »

Hello,
Well I managed to get off for next friday and we are going to the conference. I signed up today. We will drive down from Austin thursday night. Where are people staying, I called the marriot and they would not give the 79.00 rate. Anyone get that rate at marriort. Anyone bringing there child to the conference? Look forward to seeing everyone.

Since it's not a surgery trip how about trying one of the big chains a bit further away? Probably cheaper outside of the med center area.

We should wear name tags that tell our real names and then the aliases we use... how will I know that you are Bugsntazz??

see you there!

Hello

We are staying at the Crowne Plaza (probably could have found a better deal somewhere else, but just glad I actually found a few minutes to make a reservation) You can get the "weekend rate" of $88 which is lower than the "medical rate" of $109. Strange though, they were originally going to charge me the 109 for all the nights. When I asked if I could get 109 the first night and 88 the next two nights, she said no. I said well what if I check out after the first night and recheck in for the weekend rate. They ended up making a special note and worked it out for me. Kind of strange, oh well. And yep, we are bringing our 23 month old son, and will be switching off during the presentations. Did you see the post by Corinne the other day? She was trying to hook up with other parents and hoping to arrange some shared childcare.

Look forward to meeting you.
