Second Anniversary Steal!

Or Second Anniversary is about to be here! Yipee!
At the same time, we live with V's parents currently, so I spent the last few hours looking for hotels. We have to stay close since I have to work at 8 the next morning, and we are trying to keep it reasonable. I feel like I wasted the last 4 hours of my life! There is no hotel, (well at least not really gross) that is under $100! There is something wrong when the Holiday Inn costs $129 for 1 night. We could stay at an awesome boutique hotel in Dallas for that price, I just would have to leave at 5 in the morning to make it to work on time! Grr...
However....
We had a friend tell us about a site www.biddingfortravel.com that is basically a message board for people who have used priceline, and they let you know the lowest bid that was accepted by a hotel. Sweet right? There was a super trendy hotel I had my eye on that is not too far from home, but originally priced at $139 a night. Well I found someone had gotten a room there for $40 a night! Praise the Lord! Was it too good to be true? Well after staring at the screen and going back and forth for about 3 hours, V and I placed our $40 bid on www.priceline.com, and we were accepted! That is about $100 savings!
No lie, this was an answer to prayer, and we couldn't be more excited! Look at this awesome mod hotel we get to stay in for $40! (the total with tax ect is $53.27)



This is the description: "Breeze into one of our rooms, featuring our ultra-comfortable signature bed, an oversized showerhead, custom amenities by Bliss® Spa, and more. Our plug & play connectivity station charges all your electronics and links to the 42” LCD TV to maximize work and play."

I will NEVER book a hotel the traditional way again!

I am super excited!
