meara, SLC. I found an affordable Hilton right downtown.
The only thing that worries me is that my meeting ends at noon and my flight out is at 1:55 pm.
Suzi, I'm staying downtown, and my meeting is at the Department of Administrative Services at the State Office Building on North State Street.
Would their light rail (Trax?) get you where you need to go?
Hee. Heh. Oh, gosh.
Sorry. Trax is designed to get from downtown to the university, down along the main corridor down the valley, and--only recently--to the airport. It doesn't go up to the capitol, and unless the hotel is downtown, that won't help.

If you need to get from the meeting to your hotel to the airport, I'd grab a cab. It's a fairly easy drive, but I like leaving traffic wrangling to professionals.
And cutting out the rental car drop off will save time.
I failed to book my rental car and hotel for tomorrow.
Not that you need this now because you've booked the Hilton, but there's an app called HotelTonight that finds last minute deals at nearby hotels.
That sounds like the Hilton I stayed at. I was pleased with using Trax, honestly. Our old office was on State Street, but I don't recall the address.
Yeah, a tight timeframe is an argument for a cab, to me.
Oh, damn damn damn. Harbin Hot Springs is gone, destroyed by the Valley Fire: [link]
That place was essential to my sanity (what there was of it) in my twenties.
I'm sorry, Karl. I flipped past some fire footage on the news, and it looked awful.
And we're getting lovely, lovely rain, which should finish putting out that fire on the other side of the mountain.
