To get hooked up on your flight and hotel you can call Pleasant Holidays at 1-800-270-9190 extension 8784 (Jamie) and give her the reservation number 20606391. We just called today to see what the price is for a flight and hotel for Tuesday September 8th thru Saturday September 12, staying at the Royal Kona Hotel, and found out it is only $894.00 for 1 person. This is the best price I have found so far! Let me know what you think.

For you that don't know this story here it is.....
Emily had wanted to run the Nike & Tiffany marathon in San Francisco for sometime. She had troubles getting in the year before because only about 20,000 runners get in, and around 40,000 apply. Knowing what I wanted to do, I called Nike before the sign up about a 11 months before the actual race and told them my story. They told me they would make sure she would be accepted, and would have there public relations department call me closer to the race.
About 2 months before the race I was contacted my Michelle Woo an awesome person from Nike's pr group. She was so excited about my plans and wanted to help anyway she could. From there, Michelle told her committee what I was doing and got it approved. The only stipulation was that Emily had to be decked out in Nike gear. I knew that would be difficult because she used Asics shoes exclusively. I told Michelle I'd do my best.
I called Tiffany's in San Francisco and got her platinum Tiffanys setting ring on order about a monthy before. It is a sparkler.
When we got to San Francisco all I had to do, was get my tux. I managed to ditch Emily one day to go get measured, and had our hotel concierge pick it up for me . On the day of the race I got my tux on and headed to the race. I met up with Michelle and she handed my VIP passes for me and Emily. I went and hung out in the lounge and gorged on food for a couple hours. It was pretty posh, but I was nervous the entire time.
Emily running a marathon 2 weeks prior was a little exhausted, so she took longer than expected. Me and the entire PR group were nervous she wasn't going to finish. When I finally saw her, the MC took over and announced that we had a special announcement. I stood in line with the San Francisco Firefighters with my tux on and my silver platter with a little blue box on it. When she crossed the line I stepped out and she saw me. She was completely shocked as was I. I was very nervous. There are 20,000 runners, imagine how many people are at the finish line. Anyways she said Yes, and here we are.
finally getting married
