Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Ft. Lauderdale MIRAMAR - Hilton Garden Inn

[Welldone Rumproast]

Bidding Strategy

A couple of weeks ago, in *THIS BID*, I helped a friend get a local room. This morning, the same friend called and told me about a freind of hers who is having some sort of pipe work done on his house on Monday morning. So she suggested the Miramar "trick". I was drafted to do the bidding :)

Everything else was pretty much the same as last time. Best rate on the hotel site was once again USD 89

Bid Progress

Following standard Priceline bid operating procedure, I approached the entrance to the famous *SAVINGS BARN* - I gave the secret password ("Go Wolverines") and was admitted!

Initial Bid in the FLL-MIRAMAR Zone

First Bid: $33 - ACCEPTED!!

You seem to big in a good mood today... and it's contageous (your post brought a smile to my face :) )

...good mood today...

The reason: T-minus six days until VAY-KAY-SHUN :o :)

This time next week I'll be in Italy (no PL stays - I'm using Hilton points) :)
