spudley Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 I have been reading exhaustively and feel that I am ready to start bidding for the first part of our trip to Asia/Oceania. We are spending initially 5 nights in Hong Kong (10/26/11 - 10/31/11) and think that TST and HK West seem to offer the best options......for an active retire couple, who are younger than we look!Would really like to get a 5* though a 4 * would probably be more than acceptable, would be willing to go to $100 for the 5 and seemingly the 4's are available around $60'sh.My question is......When should I start bidding? Is now too soon?What should my bidding strategy be?Any help or suggestions would be wonderful!Thanks
