Thank you, Priceline

I will drive to Chicago on Monday to have a couple of days to chill and spend time with my grandma before I leave for France. A sweet friend of mine rented a car for me (what a blessing!) and another friend recommended Priceline.com for a hotel. I've used other online travel sites, but never Priceline. I chose the "name your own price" route. I started with $30/night, but they rejected that. I was then prompted to try increasing the amount by $8, so I did and voila! I got a very nice deal at a very nice hotel for just $38 a night! The normal rates for this hotel are $130-$180/night! Thank you, Priceline. :-)
