thesqueegeekid Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I just checked, no 3* in north zone .. and the airport is a true rebid with no 3*...I could have been upgraded to a resort which would have been great however, I already tested the waters with bids up to $45 my limit.

blindman Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I have just found out something VERY interesting.PL UK shows North Tucson to have Resort, 4, 3, 2, 1, *'sPL USA shows North Tucson with only resort, 2, 1 *'sThere is also a difference with La Paloma. PL.com shows Resort only, whilst PL.Uk shows Resort and 4*Wierd or what??I didn't think thesqueegeekid could be wrong as he is one of the experts in PL bidding :) Any comments? Link to comment
