peppy5 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 sorry didn't reply to your question. yes, back up is a 3.5* hotel for $112 australian (taxes in).
thereuare Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Then i'd continue inching your way up, although i suspect it's likely it will currently take more than your $100 budget.Since you're currently bidding for a 4* and your back-up is a 3.5*, i assume you'd rather go for the 'known' 3.5* than try for a better price at an 'unknown' 3.5* thru PRICELINE?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated.

peppy5 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 i may start inching up by two dollars now as4* and 5* @ $91 just got rejected.i may also go higher than 100 if it's around the 110 level. we'll see.also since there is not much mention of 3 or 3.5* in the forums, i don't know if i want to be the guinea pig. i may give it some thought though. thanks for your responses.
