My initial plans were to use points for the my trip, then the hotel workers went on strike, so i began my search for other options. The hotel has since assured us that our stay would be fine. Now the problem is I don't have enough points for the last night of my stay (8/14/08). I apologize for the posts with no resolution; I thought the board was a tool to assist travelers with possible options. Sometimes the dates and/or the rates do not work. I value the information given and appreciate your commitment to assist us as well. :)
