Are your plans firm?

[calazn]

Yes,

12/20 - 12/23 (3 nights are set)

However, I can use my starwood points to get one free night at a starwood hotel and bid 2 nights (assuming I'm getting the Le Meridien). So, should I bid for 2 or 3 nights? If I'm bidding for 2 nights, will I be able to add one more night at the same price if I get a non-starwood hotel? Thanks!

my girlfriend just tried to bid on priceline for the first time (WITHOUT telling me, argh!). She bid $90 for a 5*, got rejected..then lowered to a 4* and was accepted at $90 for Holiday Inn Kensington Forum....oh well, not the best deal, true?...but luckily it's only 3 nights...then we'll be in Rome and Paris.

thanks for reading this post...and please help with the other 2 posts for Rome and Paris.
