No, that bid was my first attempt for Boise, ID but I have noticed some people were not successful to get this property under $41 this year.

I want to stay in either 4* USE or USW for Nov 9 to Nov 13, 2005. I started bidding at $70 and kept going up to $95 w/o success. I didn't add Fisherman's Wharf because I don't want that area. However I notice that some people were successfull getting fair bid for dates up to Nov 11 and dates from Nov 11. Do you think I need to split my dates? Right now I'm in the 72-hour lock-down. Is there a major convention taking place during week Nov 6 to Nov 12. Any advice is appreciated. ET
