Good luck with the triatholon!Enjoy your stay.Yellowdog.You have created a very special board here- and it is appreciated! My 21 son came out of a hospital stay saying he wanted to do the tri - the therapists thought it a goal - but werent sure he could achieve it - He has done more than we expected~ and w/o the priceline and the hints posted here - we wouldnt have the opportunity to stay - for lurkers - I was able to click on links to find successful bids for my stay - as well as read posts of winning bids - for the time frame The Avenue popped up and I went to the website and realized the chances were high that we'd get a 1 bed room... I've noticed how the Chicago bidding zones have changed over the years - thanks for keeping us up to date!! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thank you so much for your compliments! :) So happy that your son is going to be able to do the triathlon, which is such an incredible accomplishment, especially after a hospital stay. Best of luck to him and enjoy your stay. :) Link to comment
