ufjoe21 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Nice deal and nice area............don't worry I'm in Florida and we won't have any hurricanes forecast ANYtime soon!!! Link to comment
AdGuy Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I hope you're right. I live near Gainesville and had the uncanny ability to travel near all four last year! It's that darn "D" one sitting out there that has me concerned!! :) As this is a new hotel, I'll make sure to write a review upon return.AdGuy Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I live in Gainesville! No, nothing serious is going to happen.There's nothing going on towards Florida right now, you have five almost 4 days left,.........I think Hurricane Andrew won't pop up out of nowhere, especially for a 1 night trip!

ufjoe21 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 My, oh my how things change! :) well looks like Dennis could be headed our way!well I also have a trip for 1 night on 7/9 in Lakeland (little less than a hour from St. Pete), though it's not a priceline/hotwire/EasyClickTravel trip so I haven't mentioned it here on BetterBiddingso keep your fingers crossed, at the moment the west coast of florida isn't the most likely target but it is on the possible path for Sunday AM.......I think we'll both be ok, hopefully!

AdGuy Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 ufjoe21,I probably should have warned you...I have the ability to ATTRACT hurricanes. In the past nine years, I've been directly affected by SIX of them. Remember last year when everyone thought Tampa was going to get hit? I thought I'd be smart and head to Orlando for the weekend. BAD CHOICE!! The hurricane ended up coming right through Disney/SeaWorld (one of the few times in history they closed the parks) and knocked out my hotel's power for two days. A few weeks later, I tried again and same thing...it shut down the Wyndham and stopped travel on all the roads. Thankfully, my wife had her nursing license on us and we were able to get head out. What normally takes 2 hours took us 4 hours! :) Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 are you still going on your trip Saturday? Link to comment
megnsamsagrace Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hey, I would love to hear about this hotel when you get back!! I am considering using it as a cheapy for our stay! Booked airfare at $98 R/T and then used priceline for a $17 a day rental car (Avis, Chevy Malibu). Link to comment
AdGuy Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 At this point, I'm still going. Why should all those folks in Key West have ALL the fun? :) Assuming the place is still standing, I'll write a hotel review and try to take some pictures.AdGuy :) Link to comment
ufjoe21 Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'm still going on my trip too, it's down to a Category 2 again and it's still looking to stay away from the coast.....not going to let it ruin my fun! Link to comment
megnsamsagrace Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Thanks! We decided not to worry about a hurricane coming next month. If it does, it does, nothing we can do! Now.. if we can just figure out a hotel plan we would be good! My dad has to decide if he is staying with his friends in Venice or staying near Tampa with us... then I can try PL hotels!
