Last Minute Travel Change/HOTELS

Hey all...when I got PINK last Thursday, it had my Embassy appointment listed for the 29th (Sunday)...so I assumed it was really Monday and made travel arrangements based on that assumption. Well, I was WRONG! Just found out tonight that my Embassy appointment is THIS FRIDAY morning...so I quickly changed my travel arrangements.

Wanted to let everyone know that both Friday when I called and this evening when I called, I was able to get a hotel room at the Westin for a very reasonable price. I called the hotel directly and they did not have a problem reserving a room or changing nights. I know it's been a concern of a lot of yours lately...just wanted to put your minds a little at ease.

We'll be traveling home to PA on Halloween night...me and my little Goblin Nicholas!!

Take Care!

Woah! Good thing it worked quickly for you!
Could you define reasonable price for the Westin?
I'm hoping to be going down any day myself!

I'll be at the Westin this weekend too. My Embassy appointment is at 7:15 Friday, and we're leaving on the 31st also. I'll be there with my sister. My little guy is 20 months, maybe we'll see you.
