priceline is a good option in boston usually

I don't think there are any bargains in the immediate area of Bos/Camb that weekend. The rates go up for Saturday night (in some cases the rate jumps up $100!!!)... Is that parents' weekend or something special going on?

I've not made any reservations just yet. I'm still looking/thinking about it all. Count me in for the GTG... I'll be there!

Thanks for all the ideas, everyone.

Carol

fall is a very busy time in NE, especially around boston with the beautiful weather, college football games and parents visiting kids at colleges...

plus hotel rates have skyrocketed in boston over the last year or so....

Carol-
I was just able to book the Hotel@MIT through the tripleA website; if you're a member you could try it. I called to check with the hotel, and they tell me they have no rooms, but the AAA people insist they reserve a block of rooms and still had availability.

Plus, it didn't end up at 139 - when you clicked through, it became more expensive, although for Boston, do-able.

That's the former <font color="green">Kingdom of Hawaii </font> or <font color="navy">US Territory of Hawaii</font>!

At the Pasadena GTG, M/M HawaiianTraveler beat me distance-wise, since their home is farther from HNL airport. Thank goodness they're not coming to Boston. I'm so eager to win the 49 cent prize! ;-)
