Those are some nice pics BCJ! I'd like to get out and see that in person, hopefully one day, I will.
I live close to the Grand Canyon, but have never been there. One of these days.
Who here has used any of the following on-line services of:
Hotels.com
Travelocity
Expedia
...or any other similar-type service
I'm interested in opinions, comments, suggestions about any and all experiences with the above. I'll be heading cross-country shortly and need to book rooms along the way.
Thank you for your support.
I've used hotels.com for my overseas hotel bookings and, in my opinion, they are quite good. I've used them at least a half dozen times in as many countries and I've only had one problem and that was on the hotel itself and not the site.Quote:

My summer vacation was quite good. I went to 3 places that I haven't been yet. I went to Perth, Singapore, and the Philippines. I knew Perth would be amazing but I was pleasantly surprised by the last two in that they were both rather fun. We're supposed to be hitting Hong Kong for the fall cruise but I've been there once already...
I guess this is a site of homebodies.
Thank you, Slick. I've taken your advice and so far, so good. I also price checked with the competitors. Everyone has the same fare (for the most part). A week from today I'll be "standin' on a corner...." at the end of the first leg of my trip.
Is that along the Sunset strip in Hollywood? You're better than that, TI! :pQuote:

Next was two days (Mon & Tues) in an uncomfortable moving van through 800+ miles in two of the most boring states I've ever seen (Iowa and Nebraska). Then, a grueling day (Wed) lugging stuff up to a third floor, nearly killing myself in the process due to a lack of oxygen. Finally, a day (Thurs) of getting up at 4 am to begin the approximately 12 hour journey home, via 2 planes and a car ride. So I got to relax on Friday and Saturday.
Looking back, as horrible as it seemed at times, it was actually pretty fun
Also, we got take a little break and to meet another SSGer on Monday evening, pbarnard, which was very cool.
And I'm really looking forward to the last two weeks in October when I'll take another two weeks, even though I'm not planning any trips.
I'll be in the actual city where the girl in the flatbed Ford lives. Only, thirty-five years later, she might be driving a Rascal!Quote:

Any chance he'll become and Avalanche fan?
Yesterday's text from him speaks for itself: "Rockin the wings shirt today. If looks could kill..."Quote:
