Seen that yesterday pity the book was not out when I was there.

Go back, Dug!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Go back, Dug!

Funny you should say that as Virgin sent me an email saying if I don't want to wait, apply for their credit card, I don't' like Chicago that much to go back just for a holiday.

Would love to be able to go!!

To crown it all The Hyatt Regency where I was staying sent me an email thanking me for my custom and to say I only needed a short stay to move to a platinum level card, as it was I had free wifi in my room which was a perk but it was a bloody expensive hotel, there again Chicago is an expensive city, and I would only go back there for another Wcon which I believe they are going to put in another bid but it was a well run con. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Huh. How did you get free wifi in the hotel room? We got charged $12 or so a day; it was only free in the attached conference center. Good con, though.

Chicago is expensive. Although, you can find good hotel deals. We went over Easter once and the rates were great! Couldn't figure out how we'd lucked out until I realized it was over the holiday.

Gold card members plus we all had at least 10 nights stay.

10 nights at those rates, ouch. Hope you had a good time.

Yes I did, looking forward to San Antonio next year, Davie Crocket all that, and no I'm not buying the hat.
