And the WI-FI charge is what?
Hi there
It all sound good to me..with todays exchange rate I will be getting my six night at the hotel for NZ$1,272.00 instead of NZ$1,620.00, so I'm happy... and hopefully they will be able to accomodate us with the Meet and Greet at the hotel and at a price we can all afford.
As Robert mentioned we do have our MTA passes to get us around if needed

Either way is fine for us. I'd like to how the locations compare, etc. Perhaps a call to the Chandler letting them know that we may have to switch due to the number of nights x $30 per night. Maybe they'll match (or come close) the other hotel's rate. I just want a nice hotel, in a good location, with free internet!
I tried to renegotiate our contract with the Chandler Inn about a month ago. They weren't budging at the time time. However, if EVERYONE wants to move to the Le Meridien at the lower rate than the Chandler may change their mind when I actually call to cancel the contract.

Hey. Just caught this thread. I understand the $$ issue for some. I've been to Boston many times and it's a nice walking city. I would be great to be staying in it. I've been to Cambridge, nice place, home of Harvard and MIT. It is across the Charles River and a bit up river from Boston proper. Most of the great things to do and see are in Boston itself. Although I'm sure Cambridge has it's highlights, restaurants etc., it is not Boston. I remember riding out to the Alewife station on the red line - 20-30 min? Hazy on that. If the hotel is on the green line then it's maybe a bit closer. Lechmere station? Anyway, just putting out there that staying in Cambridge adds a subway to and from everything you may wish to do. As for night life - that's mostly in Boston proper, last trains between 12 and 1. Staying in Cambridge is like going to NYC and staying in Northern Jersey. Cheaper and doable, but not NY. I'm fired up about Boston - it's a great place, with so much to do within walking distance for everyone and anyone. Aquarium, State House, shopping on Newbury St., Fine Arts and Isabella Gardiner Museums, 150 beers on Tap at Sunset Grill, lots of Starbucks for a recharge, Italian North end for dinner. Great place!
I'm fine with either. I'd rather stay in Boston, but am not fussed about going to Cambridge, especially if it saves a few quid. So count me in the 'moving to Le Meridien is fine' camp.

virtually all major attractions are in Boston and the connections for Salem/ Providence and other places originate in the city...
Mike - NOOOOOOO!! You simply MUST find a farm-sitter. Now I'm sad :'(

Hi will.
It specifically states in the bylaws that "... any and all 'WillyWumps' (sic) shall be allowed to partake and participate in any matter or form whatsoever...." So, yes, I think you qualify.
If you need financial assistance, please send a note to the Grants Committee. (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=340) They just might be able to help you with transportation or lodging.
