In the last 9 days I've booked hotels and flights for the two Stanford meets (February dual & Pac-12s) ... and a flight for the February California-Berkeley meet. For Stanford I've booked the Cardinal Hotel which is in downtown Palo Alto ... one with a reasonable price in the area, and convenient without a car ... the only issue (that isn't a problem for me) is these cheaper rooms are shared bathroom and shower, rooms(down the hall)!

I booked two of these flights today ... one using Alaska's 24-hour Flash Sale (that ends at 7am on 12/28!) ... from PDX to SJC ... the other I booked a Southwest flight from PDX to OAK ... had better flight times and better airplanes (SWA 737 vs an Alaska/Horizon turbo prop that takes >15 minutes longer & noisier).

Only flights left are to Regionals in ??? and Nationals in St. Louis. Also, one other hotel to book ... for Berkeley meet.
