thereuare Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Just one nite... Feb 26th, correct?feb 26 thru mar3 5 nightsWell that explains why we weren't seeing the same hotels :)For your 5 nite stay i'm guessing you'll likely need another $10-$20/nite or so. However, there may also be a rate change during this period... is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
