Extra Credit Question:
Lets talk a little more about traveling
When planning a trip do you:
Book everything yourself ?
For the most part.
Use a travel Agent ?
I used to use them. However, I usually do not go for package deals so I find it just as easy to do it myself. Besides, hotels and car rental companies often give free upgrades when you book things directly with them. Once when checking into a hotel at Vegas I was given a free room upgrade without even asking. The people next to me saw this and asked for the same upgrade. The desk clerk told them they would have to contact the third party company they used to book the room and ask them.
Book online ?
Usually.
Book on the phone ?
Whenever booking rooms at Vegas I always do it by phone to see if I can smooze my way into a nicer room. Usually works.
Have you ever used Traveler Checks ?
Many times.
Just for Fun:
When you just don't feel like cooking, what is your
"go to" meal solution ?
Usually it is take out from a burger joint or the salad bar at Safeway's. If I don't feel like going somewhere then it is cheese sandwich time.
