- HILTON - SOLD OUT ON JULY 5TH!!!

There are rooms at the Hilton on all the remaining nights, BUT the night of
Sat July 5th is now sold out.  The HILTON has "just a few" rooms outside our
block to sell, but these will sell for around $340 for a single/double.
Also, Hilton refuses to tell people about the overflow hotel, and will only
refer callers to a very expensive Hilton in the SF financial district.  So
please spread the word:

We have overflow rooms at the very nice Parc 55 Hotel directly across the
street at our same conference rate of $115 single/double; $125 triple; $135
quad! These won't last long. To obtain this rate, the Parc 55 requires a
minimum two-night stay and a non-refundable two-night deposit.  To make
reservations call: 800-621-1187 and ask for the Smart Marriages Conference
rate.  

Please let me know if anything else sells out - any additional nights at the
Hilton, any nights at the Parc 55.  - diane

- PLEASE PLEASE 

I know many of you made your Hilton reservations months ago and have since
determined that 1) you won't need all the rooms you reserved; or 2) that you
won't need all the nights you reserved.  Please check your reservation and
TRIM your reservation to fit your actual arrival and departure dates. This
also protects you - if you have an earlier arrival date than actual, and you
don't show up, you 1) lose your reservation and 2) are charged for the one
night even though you're not there. CALL to confirm, adjust, cancel
reservations: 800-445-8667   - diane
