Well, it's not the worst case scenario, but it's bad enough to keep us from traveling next week like planned. My elderly father is ill, and I'm the only one of my sisters who lives nearby, so caring for him falls upon my shoulders. Hopefully he'll be out of the hospital and doing well enough that we can go in a few weeks. But for now, our trip is off. Thanks for your concern.

We are indefinitely postponing our trip to Hilton Head due to a family emergency. Thanks.

No, we're not willing to commit at this time. Since it turns out that our time frame is pretty solid, we have reservations at another hotel already - as our fall back if we are unable to get a rate that will fit into our budget. We are monitoring hotwire.com's rates ... if we can get a 4-star hotel for $85 or less, we will book (monitoring & booking done through your site, of course). We realize we may not be able to get that rate (although the week prior is going for $72 right now; we're aware that doesn't guarantee that the week we want to go will be offered at a similar rate), hence the reservation at another hotel. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I thought my responses earlier in those threads had "closed" the discussion, but I have now indicated in those two threads (which dealt with the same planned trip to the Charleston/Mt. Pleasant/Isle of Palms area) that we had to cancel that trip due to a family emergency. We are using this site for our hotwire.com searches, and if our search yields a rate that will fit within our budget, we will book it through this site.

We had to cancel our trip since my daughter was placed on bedrest at the 25 week point of her pregnancy and I had to care for her and her 3 little ones.

We're planning a trip to Hilton Head in the future (probably the first week of May). We intend to use www.HOTWIRE.com (accessing from this site, of course). We've done some preliminary checking and are seeing favorable rates. We're curious ... do the rates quoted on www.HOTWIRE.com include any resort fees or parking charges? I am assuming not because I've seen nothing on the hotwire site to indicate that they are included, but I'd like to confirm that before we go and book. Can someone give me a heads up on that please? Thanks so much for your help!

No, not this far in advance. I'll come back later. Thanks anyway.

Doing some pre-planning for our September trip to Charleston. Found this on HOTWIRE (linking through this site): 3* downtown/historic district Dates: Sept. 13-18, 2009 Amenities: Fitness Center and Restaurant Thanks!

Thank you. That's a little higher than we were hoping to pay. We'll "gamble" in hopes that we might be able to get a better rate in a few months or so. We're retired, so we can be flexible with our time frame. But we'll definitely use your links to get to the HOTWIRE site. Thanks!
