Good morning everyone!!
Sheree, I tried the Buffalo Dip, I personally hated it but everyone else loved it loved it loved it. You have to like hot wings to like this dip and I am not a fan of wings....
How fabulous a Deer in your yard and jack rabbits perusing the school yard and ducks quacking louding...lol I do feel like Lorne Green should emerge with words of animal wisdom...
Nothing much happening here, Dee is at the airport picking up Doris' longtime friend from new orleans, she is coming for a two day visit to spend time with Doris. Doris is very much looking forward to it.
I love reading about all your plans for the cruise, we sure wish we could come with you, but maybe next year. You will have to give us detail by detail descriptions and photos. We are going to be living this cruise vicariously through you.
Dan, you need to tell cortney to try the cruise again, reassure her you will not abandon her and if you do she can pal around with us....You know we are a fun group.
Jim, I bet the gang is excited about cruising together a real family cruise, how fun. I can't wait to see Calum in his tux...
George, is Arrielle very dissapointed she is not going on the cruise?? Is she over Bubba yet??lol
Well back to work I go, have a great day!!!!
Cris

This is Cleveland, not Houston, har har....
What if we have two of us simultaneously bidding - and by that I mean truly bidding at the same time, perhaps in phone contact, while one of us bids for two rooms and one of us bids for three rooms at the same price? It sounds a little tricky, but I think it might work....George, you and I could do it, perhaps if we got on the phone and bid together. Maybe I could bid for Tommy and Regina, and you could bid for Jim's two rooms? I'd be wlling to try that -- what do you think gang?

Just for kicks I went on betterbidding.com and read up on Hotwire. They have 4*'s for $106 - and it's most likely the Hyatt or the Intercontinental. They also have a 4 room limit....

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)
Why don't we bid on 4 rooms and try to find the best price on the 5th outright and we take the total price of them all and divide by 5. Instead on taking the chance that with the two bids we get two hotels.
Example...we win priceline for $60 We try our best to get another room at a discont price using all discont avenues be it Government employee, Fireman, Perfume buyer, Insurance angency, Medical profession, Professional Shoppers (PLURAL), Deer watcher, Browns Fans, Bucs fans, Cardinal fan, Jeep owner, AAA, AARP, etc.
Hotels.com Hyatt......$119
Priceline $60x4.......$240
---
$359/5= $71.80
Inter C website.......$169 (with none of the above disconts)
Priceline $60x4.......$240
----
$409/5= $81.80
Just a thought being thrown out there...

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)
Good afternoon all,
Hope everything is going well. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Anyway, Dawn, Jacob, Owen and Mumsy are doing well. Mumsy is getting ready to leave on Sunday to go on an 11 night Panama cruise on the Brillance of the Seas. She is also going on the Mariner of the Seas in May and she has another one booked for December (I think it's Carnival). She wants to keep cruising until she can't physically do it anymore, so more power to her. Jacob starts Pre-K in June and then Kindergarten in August...where has the time gone?? Owen is 19 months old and doing pretty good. He is a little delayed, so he is getting ready to start speech and physical therapy. He is just now starting to walk a little. There are no signs of autism, which is what Dawn and I were praying for. Just keep him in your prayers, that would be great. We went on the Disney Wonder last month (3 night) and had a great time, so we are looking to go on the Disney Magic for a 7 night cruise next. I am a seasonal employee there, so our discount is great. I wish we could join you guys, but we don't want to take Jacob out of school for a week. It's going to be like that for a while now unless we go on shorter cruises. Well, hope everyone has a nice weekend and I will talk to you soon.

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)
Tommy/Regina, that sounds like a pretty good idea. One question to throw out there though...
I went on to biddingfortravel and looked at the recent bids for 4* by the port and they all were the Hyatt; not one for the Intercontinental! Furthermore all bids came in at $86 to 105. Bare with me here...the web site also had a link to easyclick for reduced rates on the Intercontinental...which happened to be $110. Now my point, lets say we do get 4 rooms on Pricline for around $90 to $100 and the fifth at regular price...are we really saving that much and is it worth the hassle? Certainly if we can get the first four rooms for the $60 to $70 range it would be worth our while.
Should we try a few low bids for 4 rooms first and then think about forgoing Priceline should they be to much...let me know?

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)
Tommy - great idea. George - You scare me when you think like me. I was on the easyclick site when I was surfing on my lunch hour. (Thinking like me should also scare you.) I was thinking the same thing - maybe the hassle's not worth it. Also, too bad we are not federal government employees because those seem to be heavily discounted rates! (Everyone is a state or city, right?) I'd love to stay at the Intercontinental. I wouldn't mind the Hyatt at all though. We did stay there before and it was absolutely fine. George - what if you try bidding for 4 rooms at $60 for a while, planning to purchase a 5th the regular way and then we can figure out if we need to just buy direct if that's not working for us. On both biddingfortravel and betterbidding it seems like we are still too far out though.....what do you think?
Ok...off to surf more hotel websites.....Sheree

Sheree just for the Halibut if you have time call both places and see if they will do anything for firemen. Just an idea.

I'll try that this weekend - and I wonder if they will also do any kind of a group rate, like people sometimes get for weddings and stuff. I'll ask about both.

Hi Cris - sorry for the lack of acknowledgement! I know I remember that you posted and said that you hated the Buffalo dip!!!!! Truly, if you don't like Buffalo wings, you are certainly not going to like the dip! Please promise to keep us updated on Doris's surgery and progress and we'll promise to keep you entertained with posts. Please give her a hug from me and Greg and let her know that we care about her and we hope that she makes great progress after this surgery.
And to David - I hope we can meet you on a cruise in the next couple of years! It would be the life to cruise multiple times in a year, like Mumsy, I hope that we have the good health and good fortune to do that when we retire. First I need to get the old ball and chain to consider relocating to Florida at that time!
Now back to this cruise planning business....I called the Intercontinental while I was eating my delicious hospital cafeteria food lunch. They do not have special rates for firefighters/police officers. The woman I spoke to referred me to the internet and said that we could receive the state/city government rates as long as my husband is a city employee. I pretty much knew that! I didn't get a chance to call the Hyatt.
That's it for now. George - let us know how the bidding is going!
