Your feedback is so much fun for me...thanks, guys!

Joanna ~ I booked thru Platinum Travel Service...and by chance got a terrific TA who was as attentive to details as I am! Booked Fine Hotel Program hotels and received all the add ons..upgrade the best! Did not use any points...paid using my AmEx (gotta get more points going for the next trip!) and in comparative shopping I'd say the FHP rates were reasonably competitive. I was pleased with the whole experience.

And Denise...yes, the New Years Eve dinner was so cool...one of those dinners that go into your Top Ten list!!!
