It should be. If you have a problem, let me know and I'll get it fixed.

When I called the other day I was told by the Hilton Reservation Desk (NOT the hotel) that the S2000 room block was sold out. But I got a rate for two Queens from Friday to Sunday at $120.80 and then a Sunday night rate of $129.98 ??

I'm checking that now. If that's the case, then the room rate will be renegotiated.

Let me know. Planning on getting there Thursday and would rather have the "cool people" rate for the entire stay

I should have an answer tomorrow. I'll post results of my inquiry, Phil. I'd rather have the cool people rate as well.

I'm not sure where those numbers came from, but I checked the hotel site and Hilton reservations (not the hotel) for rates for May 5 through May 7 and the cheapest rate I could get was $135 a night. I checked the AAA, AARP, Senior Rate, and the Gov't rate. The Gov't rate was the best but no rooms were available for those dates at the Gov't rate. I even threw in my exalted status with Hilton (I'm using points for my room. Gotta love 3 years of international travel and month long stays in Hilton hotels ) and couldn't get a better rate.

I'm a little confused, Ken...but I just reserved a room from Thursday to Sunday for $124 a night, so I guess all is well

I will register for the event as soon as I can hammer out a few more details and be 100% sure.

I still need to book the hotel, flights and rental car. Oh, yeah, and maybe loose 30 lbs. Oink. My honey, Ricky, has a son who works in Manhattan. He'd like to work in a visit with him on our trip. I'm thinking we should probably visit with his son first, then get a rental car to come to Spring Fling, and loose the car at our fly home airport. Opinions?

It would definitely be much easier to get a convenient flight to NYC (okay, Newark, NJ) than to Harrisburg, PA and probably less expensive as well. I'd stick to public transportation (Uber and/or taxis) until you were ready to leave NYC. (Parking anything in NYC can be the equivalent to a month's rent). For a nice way to leave NYC, you can take the Pier 11 or World Trade Center ferry to Jersey City and pick up a rental car there (saves NY taxes and gas is cheap in NJ)

Ricky will have to talk to his son to see what works but thank you for the info. I booked the room from Thursday to Sunday with your link and the event for both of us as non-drivers.

That's great Patricia. I'm looking forward to seeing you again and meeting Ricky. Have a happy holiday and see you in the Spring.
