Okay, Royal Psillies, I need to confer with you all on sumfin. We are heading to Toronto next month for three nights. It will be our March break vacation, something on the cheap side - - no big trips this year. . . . . ..the household economy won't allow it.

SOoOoooOo, we've decided to stay in a hotel, not with my brother.. . .this will be the big splurge. Hotel prices in downtown Toronto are hefty, so I checked on hotwire. There is a very tempting deal, there. The top listing:

Open Original Shared Link

The catch is that you are only given the area of the city where the hotel is, the star rating and the amenities.......not the name, and not the sleeping/bed details.

I dunno what to doooooooooo. . . . . . . ...it's a four-star with a gym, pool, free internet access in an ideal location, for 95 bucks . . . ...absolute steal. But there are four of us going, and my kids are now great big creatures - - I cannot sleep in a double bed with anybody now. Could be a little room with one double... . . . ...:unsure:

Or a huge suite with two queens and a pullout. . . . ..B)

Annnnnnnnd once you buy it, it is non-refundable.

Gaaaaahhhhhh.. . .. ..:wacko:

What would youse guys do? :huh:

Tis a head scratcher Em. The link didn't work--I just got the general page of the site.

Is there some identifying info that you could call the hotel and ask about? I don't think you'd have anything to lose by calling them directly and seeing if they can shed some light. (even though you sill have to book through the site)

From what you said it seems like a very nice place--maybe they don't offer any "single" rooms? It does make me suspicious that they don't give you all this info up front so you can see exactly what you are getting.

Personally, I've used Hotwire and Priceline with no problems. I know with Priceline you're only guaranteed 1 queen bed, so I've had to call to request 2 queens or rollaways if the kiddo's are wif me. But it's not a given. I've gambled on more than 1 occasion and it's worked out fine, but it is a gamble.

But I found this for Hotwire under their Travel Rules section:

#4. Room type will be determined by the hotel based on the number of guests provided at time of booking. All reservations are booked for stays in non-smoking rooms (subject to availability).

This isn't the case with Priceline, so it sounds like if you put in 4 people for the reservation, you should be able to accommodate 4 people in the room. Is it more $$ if you put in 4 adults instead of 2 adults/2 kids??

Nope, it's the same amount if it's two adults, two kids or four adults.. . . . ...guess I would specify four adults . .. . ..more chances of getting more bed space... .. .....hmmm.....

Rah-shyelle, after you booked a hotel deal through hotwire and it revealed to you the hotel name, did it then also give you the room details? I'm worried that if I book this deal I won't know what I've bought until we get there.... . . . ..although I suppose it wouldn't matter as there is no cancellation -- we'd be staying regardless....

Canna decide. :rolleyes:

I don't think the cost is different based on the beds. Book the room, then call and confirm your two Kings.

Also double check that the price quoted is per room, not per guest.

Bring a snack, although I think the meatballs are gluten-free.

Actually I think they aren't. Can't find verification. But the gummy fish should be ok.

When we needed furniture for the kids rooms, we thought about renting a Uhaul and going to the nearest IKea which I think is the one near Chicago at that time.

I've only rented cars thru hotwire, but intend to use them next time for hotel. I don't think they give you specific details. I waited a day, then called the hotel to confirm.

Thanks for the bday wishes :) I had a nice day and a nice evening :D

As far as Ikea... Go alone!!!!!!

:lol::lol: . . . OK, love all the advice . . . but I was looking for things to BUY!!! So far, I guess I'm buying gummy phish.

My most favorite thing EVAHHHHHH is the rectangular shaped collinder that has expanding arms so it reaches across the sink and hangs, so it doesn't sit in your sink where a liquid back-up may occur :unsure:

Oh, the cake? Dunno if the foodstuff section has a bakery.. . . . ...if you are able to get a birthday cake there, it undoubtedly comes in separate sections with packaged icing that you must assemble yourself....

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      @Scott Adams Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia? I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed. I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease. If instead she had had normal levels of IGA in her blood, then the question of how much gluten she was eating would become relevant.

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.
