Elgin, feel free to consider yourself an honorary member of team 558 in Atlanta!! Make sure to come by and introduce yourself in CT first, so we'll at least know what you look like LOL, and I'll try to do the same.

Wow, thanks for all your responses! I will now just have to work really hard and see if we can push ourselves beyond our expectations.

Thanks!

I would recommend Delta if you are going to fly, there national hub is Atlanta so you can probably get pretty good fairs because they have many flights going there. I am flying down to meet the team because of work, and delta was a good $100 less than any other, from South Bend Indiana, a no name airport, direct to Atlanta. 1 hr 45 mins

Looking agian it appears as if some of the downtown hotels have opened up again. I logged in last week when I was doing my price shopping and they showed all closed.

Steele Meetings sent out this email yesterday.

Sounds like a plan Denise! I'm still not 100% sure I'm going to Atlanta yet, but my trip looks to be a go.
I'm still watching airfares & what not playing the waiting game until they drop more - which is unlikely, but then again, changing my flight schedule(s)* around seems to enable me to save me a bundle as well!


*I'm planning on going to FL for a couple days after Atlanta as well.
I need a "non-FIRST vacation" for myself this year! lol

I saw something on the news today about how Atlanta hotels are hurting because of the economy. So shop around and get the best deal you can.
