Oh yes, the Westin sounds much better than a hard plastic chair at O'Hare.

I hope you can fly out tomorrow.

Please use this PRICELINE link when you're not doing last minute bidding from the airport.

I forgot to mention... I did use the PRICELINE link from betterbidding. It's right there on the top of every page; even at the last minute it's still easy to make sure the board gets its cut.

The Westin was great. They had a huge influx of people yesterday due to the weather. Almost ran out of rooms. Ended up upgrading me to the Preferred Guest floor in a giant room with high ceilings. Slept about 12 hours. It was incredible... Plus there's a free airport shuttle every 20 minutes.

Still at O'Hare but I have a CONFIRMED seat for the last flight of the night. As long as they don't cancel it, I'm good to go.

Thanks for your work this week, Colfax. This is exactly the situation where betterbidding is essential.

Thanks for the good word, GM Mike, and thanks for using the link.

I hope you're at your destination now. Happy Holidays.
