Dallas meet- Any hotel group rates yet?

[Heather Rueckert]

If I don't hear anything about rooms before too long, I'm just going to book a room myself. I was really hoping someone that lives in the Dallas area would step up and help find rooms for all of us coming in from out of state. Any ideas anyone? -Heather

I live in Frisco, which is just 30 min. away from the Fair, I can try to look at some places on the net, but seeing as I am only 16, if I call in, I dont think many places will take me serious when i say we need 20 rooms

Heather,



I asked Rich if he wanted me to look for a hotel everyone could stay at, but haven't heard back from him. I don't want to get ahead of any behind-the-scenes plans, by doing an end-run, and stepping on any toes.



There are several nice hotels along the highway 75 corridor in Richardson & Plano, just to mention one option. Highway 75 is a straight shot to the fair in Dallas, but I don't know if a venue has been selected for the meet on Saturday yet. Depending on that decision, Richardson & Plano may, or may not, be a good location.

Sorry for the delay, folks. I am trying to get all the ducks in a row with Ford. Expect an announcement next week with more details.

Cool!

If you want to save some money, Priceline routinely beats nearly any hotel's rates--even their group rates--by 50% or more. Check out www.biddingfortravel.com to learn the secrets of being a successful Priceline customer.



(FYI, I have no financial or other interest in either Priceline or biddingfortravel.com--I'm just a very satisfied frequent customer. Recently, I've been using them to get hotel rooms for the guests at our upcoming wedding. They'll be staying in Marriotts and Sheratons where the rates we find at the hotels' own sites or at the Expedia/Travelocity/Hotels.com/etc sites are $89 and up, and we're paying less than $35 for every room!)
