thereuare Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have had the pleasure of meeting more than a few of you in my (and your) travels and have heard reports of others getting together as well.... with a good time had by all.I thought i'd present the idea of an informal BetterBidding member meeting... a chance for users to meet face-to-face. Since NYC hotels are typcially least expensive in the summer, i thought that would be a good time plan something and give anyone looking for an 'excuse' a good reason to make an impromptu NYC trip. There are also two new properties scheduled to open in the Hoboken/Jersey City area... a Westin in Jersey City (Nov 2008) and a W Hotel in Hoboken (Jan 2009). Assuming these hotels participate with PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, there will likely be excellent deals to be had in the weeks following their opening... so while this is still quite a few months away, this could prove to be a good timeframe as well if there is little interest in the summer months due to other committments.We could plan a lunch, dinner, or just drinks. I'd favor something in Hoboken (or Jersey City) simply because it would be easier to coordinate and still be easily accessible via mass transit for everyone, but depending upon what the interest level is and what is decided we can act accordingly.So... i'll open it up to the board and see if there is any interest, as well as open it up to any suggestions/ideas. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Will Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I would be up for it, I'll be in NYC from August 14-18, so if something was on between those dates I'm in.Will Link to comment
WillTravel Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I still plan to get to NYC sometime, but for the time being, I can't plan any vacations. Link to comment
powerplantop Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I love the idea. The problem for me is that I work so much that its hard to plan these kind of things. Link to comment
tenerifesharon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Fantastic idea! Unfortunately, we won't be back in the NYC area until late January 2009 (when we are hoping to take advantage of a VERY short lived EWR-HNL (Honolulu) flight that we booked on United for $292 per person all-in round-trip. Sorry, the fare was gone before I even had a chance to post it, and happened when I was online in the middle of a sleepless night during our recent trip to the east coast.) Link to comment
BEAV Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I love the get-together idea as well, however living on the Left Coast, I don't have current plans to travel to the East Coast! Should we meet in the middle somewhere, say, Topeka, Kansas? !! :) Link to comment
dahammer Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 great idea, I'm in, I can work the dates of the meet into my schedule. Link to comment
123slb Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 How tempting! I'm usually able to get to NY only during Christmas season, though. Still, if you build it, they will come . . . Link to comment
