Month: February 2007

The Beat has a post up about the San Diego hotel situation, along with links to a couple of interesting forum discussions.
I went ahead and made my flight reservation too. It wasn’t too painful, though the price for the flight actually went up, then back down again, while I was making the reservation. Weird.
I did a little bit of reseach on the Westin Horton Plaza, too, since I’ve never stayed there before. It’s got some very good reviews and some very bad ones, so I’m not too sure who to trust on that. I’m not too picky about hotel rooms, really, so if there’s a comfortable bed and the room doesn’t smell like cigarette smoke, I’m good, for the most part.

Some random good news today:

• I got new bed sheets today!
• I got the renewal letter for my apartment lease today, and the landlord isn’t raising the rent!
• I got a hotel room for San Diego! This might not sound like a big deal, but it’s gotten harder and harder to get a room for San Diego over the past few years. They opened up the hotel reservation system at noon (Eastern) today. I tried getting to their web site right then, but the site was getting hammered so much, there was really no chance of getting in. I went off to eat lunch and came back at 12:30 and tried again. It took awhile for pages to load, but they did come up, and I did eventually manage to make it through the system and came out on the other end with a valid hotel reservation. I’ll be in the Westin Horton Plaza this year, which is probably a pretty good hotel, and not too far from the convention center. I’ve never stayed there before, but it looks nice.
