susantunanoodle Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi y'all. I will be ready for my first fill in February and I want to try the trolley way :-) . I think I will stay overnight since it's a long trip from the east coast. Any suggestions on where to stay? Is the hotel where I will be recovering a good choice or would it be better to come back across the border and stay in SD? I want something as hassle-free as possible. Thanks for any suggestions.

Susan Hi Susan! I had my first fill this past Saturday (the 9th). I also decided to stay the night since it would just be too much to go down and come right back. I did the bus/trolley thing... One warning though... If you have any issues with walking or standing a long time... Just pay the 130 for OCC to escort you to and from the airport (you can split that rate if you find other people who arrive and leave at about the same time as you). THe hardest part was the two hour line coming back into the states... I stayed at the Lucerna (the Hotel where you will be recovering) and the rate is only 80 US dollars if you ask OCC to arrange it for you when you make your appointment for your fill. When were you thinking of going? I may be due for a fill in late February.... I will see how well this fill works and decide closer to the time...

I will probably stay at the Lucerna aftwer the fill. I was thinking about the 3rd or 4th week of Feb. I'd love to coordinate with you if possible. I am using up frequent flyer miles so I am somewhat limited with the dates. I'll keep you posted. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will know for sure if I can go on the 19th by early January and will let you know! The flight I take usually comes in at 10:05 a.m. in terminal 2 so I could wait for you.

Sheeesh what a dufus! Anyway, I don't have my itinerary here at the office but I think my plane comes in around 10:30 or so. I'd love to get together with y'all and I'm open to taking the trolley or if there are enough of us, going by OCC van. Let's keep each other posted. Susan to be banded January 8th, 2007 :-h Oh yeah, I forgot, I decided to return that night by way of the red-eye so my plane will leave about 10:30 PM. I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll have lots of time to kill till then so if anyone is staying overnight or has a late afternoon flight maybe we could hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
