Saving money by not trying to save money . . .

I'm sure we've all see the ads for getting great discounts on flights and hotels. With my one daughter always flying to and from college, we soon discovered that you get the best deal from working directly with the airlines. Someone is making money over our desire to save money.

I just spent the morning trying to book a reasonable hotel for an upcoming trip. I went through several of those helpful, discount sites. Of the four I checked out, the cost for the same room at the same hotel was $192 up to over $220 per night. Inspiration struck before I settled for the 'cheapest' on the list and I Googled the hotel directly . . . and got the very same room for $135 a night. Just a head's up to check ALL options before settling for what SEEMS to be the best price. Always have to second-guess the world.

April 15th - US taxpayers favorite holiday?!
