Dear BB friends, Well, I have become a user and I am posting the parameters of my stay and would like bidding suggestions and strategies. June 17 - 20, 2005 LA (Santa Monica - Marina del Rey) - prefer Santa Monica LA (Bev. Hills - Westwood - Cent. City) prefer BH or WW 4 star rating would be wonderful, but will drop to 3.5 as needed. I don't have a max bid in mind as I have never done this before but,the most I would like to pay is $130 I do have my eyes on one property - Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel We are attending a 50th anni party and our sons grad from UCLA Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I understand from your posts that PL is usually cheaper than Hotwire. Many, many thanks! :) Lane
