I just might have enough Rapid Reward points to buy a one-way ticket, and then have to use some CapitalOne miles to buy the return ticket. I wonder if that might work against me if there is a sale later in the year.

Not sure about the Capital One miles, but it won't w/ the RR points. I used them to book a flight out to Vegas and then 3 weeks later they had a sale. I just changed my flight to rebook it w/ the new price and they credited my account back w/ the extra points. Of course I got an email today from them about the sale they're having from SJ to SNA, but it's only through mid-Dec. If I wasn't doing the Museum Exhibit in Simi Valley on the way home from the DL 1/2 Labor Day, I would've flown down in a heartbeat.

I haven't purchased from them, but have seen them at several expos. Personally, I like the cut of the skirts from Team Sparkle better.

[Leskash75]

That's what I'm thinking they both look better.

Then got over excited and checked out to see what the hotels looked like, even though it's early. Sunday nights aren't looking good b/c of MLK. BW Stovall's is starting at $119 but BW Park Place prepaid is only $79 but jumps to $111 on Sunday night. A few others are up and you can book, but I think they're around $119 also. I really wanted to stay at Stovall's this year b/c it's right there, but the price difference is so huge. I think I might leave Sunday night and drive 1/2 way home and stay at a motel on 5 somewhere. I know it's really early, but it'll be interesting to see how fast hotels sell out b/w the race and the 3 day weekend.

I just booked that hotel! I got an email for a web price total $98 w/o parking.

Happy I made my hotel reservations long ago. I think I have another that I need to cancel.

Did you check the generic BW website? They've been playing around w/ the specific hotel site, but through the generic one and then searching through Anaheim, they have has rooms open.
