Anyone get through yet? At midnight I get transferred to central Marriott reservatons who can't book that far out. They say I have to call back at 8:00a directly to the hotel.

Geez, those poor people at the hotel are in for a surprise. I think they're going to be frightened by a bunch of crazy Fiero owners calling to book a room one year in advance.

Not me though. I'm going to wait a while. Still unsure on the trip anyway.

Mark--I've talked to about four people at the hotel this morning and they WILL NOT take reservations until 50 wks. out, which means Aug. 15 or something. Is there a name we should ask for and can you get some further clarification of this?? Thanks!!

Okay, the squeeky wheel finally gets some grease--I guess the Centerpoint Marriott was not ready to take our reservations yet. I talked to Tara who is going to try to load the calendar that far out as soon as she can and hopes to be able to help us the end of next week. See you all at the show!

I just spoke with Tara at the hotel. There has been a change in the Marriott system since we set the show up. At the time we contracted for the hotel, we were told that they would/could take reservations 1 year in advance. At this point, their system will only allow them to book rooms 50 weeks in advance, like gldkarma stated above. Tara wanted me to pass on the hotels apologies for any inconvenience, as well as I'd like to apologize for the confusion.

At this point, it looks like reservations will not be able to be made until Monday August 13, 2007.

I agree. I had the same experience when I called yeaterday. 50 weeks out. But then he said that he could book me for the 19th of July 2008!?! That is not 50 weeks or is it? I did the math and came up with calling back on the 7th or the 8th. I'll try anyway. can't hurt.

$474.00 Jeez. Well better start saving some cash. Did we determine August 15 is the earliest you can make a reservation? Also can we get the stickers early?

Edit : $583.00

I feel your pain. I think this is going to be a $1000+ trip for me by the time it's over. It's time to start saving because I am NOT missing this show.

$583 + fuel and food so $1000 won't be too far off.

Yeah, but you will have to eat those days even if you stay home. So unless you think food on the road is gonna be a lot more expensive than what you normally eat, just add fuel. And buying merchandise. And stuff from Rodney Dickman. And... oh, okay... nevermind.
