Okay so you all know about how organized and anal I am..........so you will totally understand this.........

I called the Hilton in Portland (the host hotel for the marathon) just to find out their "special" rates.......it's $179 per night plus tax - 2 night minimum.  This is less expensive than any AAA or AARP rate - which I we all know how that worked out but I assure you I am smarter this time around!

I was wondering what your thoughts are about where to stay?  Also I briefly looked at Expedia and was thinking we might be able to find something less expensive - maybe including some kind of breakfast.

What do you think?

I am planning to talk to Ameer who used to live in Portland and has done this race.  We will get the best plans from him.  I think we can find a much better rate... and Portland is an easy city to get around in... we might even consider renting one car and having one of our "cheer squad" drive us to the start.  Or we could hire a limo... that would enable us to stay somewhere really cool... Portland has some GREAT walking neighborhoods.

Also... if you are looking at a map... Portland "blocks" are about 3/4 of a normal city block... so keep that in mind too.  :-)

Hey all, 
Just an FYI, my whole family lives in Portland and I grew up there. In June I am planning on moving back to Portland permanantly. And, my mom has been in charge of the expo for the race for 25 years and counting. So...if you have questions you can always ask me! :) I am excited you are coming to do this race!
