    Yes, it is coming up on 60 days out and for planning purposes, that is pretty much the deadline for a planned trip. Anything inside of that and the prices will be higher and it will be hard to pin down a cheap price. Anything short of 60 days out and the reservations game of jumping on a cheap price when it appears and the possibility that there will never be a cheap price becomes challenging.

    I know the hotel I've booked is now MUCH more expensive than it was when I booked it. They moved my flight as well, so I had to re-book that... looks like I'll be spending some time in Atlanta...

    BTW, that $139 for the hotel is in Canadian $...Taxes are somewhat steep compared to US lodging taxes... There's a federal 5% tax, then Quebec's provincial tax of 7.5% (I think)... Montreal adds it's own lodging tax of 3%.... if you want a minorly overestimated rate per day including taxes, figure $167 Canadian (for the overflow hotel room) or about $175 per night US$ not including amenities (how much you raid the minibar, etc.)

    I've been to Destin many times, it is very nice there. Great beaches! I lived in Pensacola for two years, loved that area.

    Another idea for hotels, check the hotels at the end lines of the Metro, Angirgion, Honore Beaugrand, Cote Vertu, etc, using the metro to get downtown is easy and cheap, I'm sure you'd save more than the $3 cost of the metro on the hotel rates by doing that.

    Just a thought, Cheers!

    Edit: I found this.. about 2 blocks from the FC offices.. corner of Guy and Rene Levesque http://www.a2khotel.com/
    Starting at $89 single occupancy. Not bad

    Great find Doc. The website does not show internet as included in the cost of the room and does not state a rate for it... I would assume that is a must-have for anybody coming to the 10 year party

    Of course even if they charged $20/night for internet that's $30 cheaper per night than the embassy suites.

    On a personal note, the embassy suites is a very nice hotel chain. There is one local to me and I have never heard anything bad about the place. Based on that and the fantastic deal being provided by the hotel for FC (ranging from $80 to $650 off normal rates per room per night!) I plan on taking them up on the offer.

    Just after all of the other non-AO events that weekend sell out and we can no longer do anything else or sometime before that?

    Hey, you guys wanna do other stuff in Montreal knock yourself out. But I've got my hands full trying to get our *own* gathering together; if folks want to do stuff *outside* of the gathering then go for it, but that's all y'all. XD

    So that is a 'no' to giving is a rough idea of when other than:
    Friday - Biodome - afternoon or evening...
    Saturday - Unknown, perhaps a Q&A/Tour or both.
    Sunday - Unknown, not even sure about the day even having anything.

    Obviously this is the plan.

    Sometimes, you just have to charge in with both hands blazing and hope they drop before you do.

    You forgot "Tarasque Raid" Saturday morning: after getting Means rip roaring drunk the night before, we schedule a Tarasque Raid at Means' house 9 hours later, so we can see what a really p*ssed off dragon actually looks like (If someone administers a Globe of Clarity to Means and clears up the hangover, the raid will fail).

    Edit: Okay--We gotta get both Means and Kintaii drunk... Tarasque Raid is at Kintaii's house- Beast Raid will be at Means' house after Kintaii sends us to reclaim our baggage at the hotels for waking him up

    Oh, by the way, after the Biodome raid Friday night, be sure to head down to Old Montreal, the Fireworks on Saint-Jean Holiday are always extra special. (Or make your way to a tall building rooftop, that's a good place to see them too, but it can be windy and a bit chilly up top.)

    Cheers!
