Early Spring Chicago DIS meet feeler

[NancyIL]

Did you have the fire department out there, Chris? Nope - just the plain old Comfort Inn - much cheaper.

Maybe it is the same one now that I think about it.....UM...YEAH!!! It was VERY embarrassing and needless to say - my girl scouts won't let me live that one down at all!!!!!! After almost getting kicked out of the hotel for something we weren't even doing - that topped the cake for the weekend!!!!!

I can't do March 29 as I'll be out of town (not something I could reschedule). But anytime in April is good for me. And March 22 would be fine too.

I didn't use Priceline, since the date isn't definite. I'll adjust the reservation when we know the final date. From what I could see on www.biddingfortravel.com - others have in the past gotten the Hampton Inn Gurnee with a $35 bid, plus a $5.95 Priceline fee and tax. I booked the Comfort Inn Gurnee for $44 (IL Farm Bureau rate) - though AAA and internet rate are both $49.50.

now if priceline could only do something about Chicago parking prices...

 

[NancyIL]

LOL Shep! Leave the car at your suburban hotel (with free parking) and use public transportation - like any true Chicagoan!

Made my reservations for Comfort Inn on March 29th!

Looks like the 29th is becoming the date. We have a play at Lincolnshire at 11 and should be done and up to Gurnee about 1 at the latest. Now we just need to pick a spot if this is going to be the day.....

 

[Dopeygirl]

WAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to miss the spring meet AGAIN this year. Last year's date was the only one I said I couldn't make and now again this year! Should I take this as a hint that ya'll hate me??!! :insert crying smiley here:

 

[December99]

I'm not setting the date and time - I'm leaving that up to someone else...only because I don't know what time I'll be there for sure. I just was making a comment that people seem to be able to make this date....but DG.....we don't hate you......we love you (see me sucking up for the possibility of being DG's favorite sometime!!!! ROFL)

 

[Dopeygirl]

You actually think you're going to get to be a favorite when you said "Looks like the 29th is becoming the date." a few posts below where I said I couldn't do that day?!!! Man, you got a lot to learn about sucking up to get that title!!!

 

[December99]

What can I say - I'm not a good suckup!!!!! ROFL

 

[helenabear]

DG, maybe we can get Dan to post a poll and you might get lucky and people will choose another day besides March 29th

Glad I'm finally seeing this thread......thanks to Dan the Man Murphy!!

March 29th looks good for us!! And any meet at Gurnee Mills if A-O.K. with us!! It just gives DH another opportunity to spend $$ at Bass Pro Shop.....HIS favortie store in the whole wide world!!

There are so many places to eat there too!! And since they have such a huge food court I wonder if we would even need *permission* to gather there. Lots of large groups shop there every day.

And let's cease with the sucking up on this thread.......thank you!.... blech!!

 

[December99]

Just in case the other dissers that are thinking about this want to post here their thoughts.

 

[lizdotcom99]

I am ready whenever.....
I can't wait to meet all of my "friends" that I have met through the DIS and can't wait to give December 99 a great big hug for putting together the ornmament exchange!!!
Thanks,
Liz
