I’ve finally gotten accomodation squared away for Apple’s WWDC conference in San Francisco this early June. For less than $50 a night, I’ll be spending six night at the San Francisco Hyatt Regency located in the Embarcadero. How was I able to swing this, you may ask? Using Hotwire to search for a hotel and then applying the coupon code GIFTCARD06 to chop off $10 a night for up to five nights. Granted, the total price that I paid was just under $600 but since I’ll be sharing a room with two beds with a french student who is also attending WWDC, the cost was halved. A web site that came in extremely handy in finding this deal was Better Bidding. Through its forums, I was able to figure out how I could get a really good deal!
In retrospect, I don’t think I could have done much better for my trip to San Francisco. As of right now, including plane ticket, accomodation, and conference ticket, I’ve spent $300. Granted, the conference ticket fee of $1600 was waived and I was able to use frequent flier miles to fly for just $10 in taxes from Syracuse :-) When I compare the almost $600 I spent last year, I feel quite good…
Oh well, this is going to be a short post as I’m in the middle of writing some papers for my various finals. Once those get done, I’ll be sure to post more. Anyway, if you follow the link, you’ll get a nice image the depicts my summer plans from June to August…
