I am about to cancel a reservation at the Courtyard in Fort Lauderdale. One king with a sofa sleeper. Believe the rate was around $200/night.

Not very fancy but at least you knw what you are getting.

Plus, there's some NDN folks staying at that hotel.

You're still making the game?

Or more accurately -- still making Miami for the game?

I still plan on meeting up at some point for a beer.

Thank you, on the phone with Starwood right now, their entire reservation system is down, but I think I can score a room there.

Can you give me an hour?

and they took points, so I'm a happy man.

BTW, they still have rooms left for 350 a night.

official ND team hotel.

Starwoods reservations system is still down. even though every hotel shows rooms available, I can't book squat.

I don't want to hold you up though, thanks anyway.

I don't have to cancel tonight. I'll hold off until you are ready, one way or the other. Shoot me an email when you are able to figure things out,

Sincerely, thank you.
