Re: COMMON Hotels

["James Newman" <jabezinc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps everyone already knows this trick, but just in case...when I head
out of town for a seminar, I've noticed the hotel where seminars are held
are usually too expensive for my budget.  So I get the address of the hotel,
plug it into Yahoo which pulls up a map:

http://maps.yahoo.com/?&addr=1550+court+place&csz=denver,+co&country=us

then click on the "Nearby Businesses:  Hotels and Motels".  This gives me a
list of others nearby, which I start calling to get rates.  For example, I
see there's a Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn, and a Hyatt Regency all within .2
miles of you.

Another trick I've taken advantage of is paying a flat fee to become a
travel agent.  I don't book travel for others, I just take advantage of the
discounts afforded travel agents (email me offline for details).
