[Lnc-business] book Phoenix flights for Feb LNC meeting

[Nicholas Sarwark]

If the LNC members are not willing to stay at the Arizona Grand due to
price considerations, it may be that this property shouldn't even be
on the short list.  My experience is that convention delegates are
more price sensitive than members of the LNC.

It's a solid 30 minute drive (without traffic) from the Holiday Inn to
the Renaissance in Glendale.  45-60 minutes is more likely if we cross
town Friday afternoon.  It's only 15-20 minutes to get to the Arizona
Grand from the Holiday Inn, but then we're fitting two bus trips in
the middle of an LNC meeting.  If we stay at the Arizona Grand,
there's only one trip.
