Every journey begins... with a web search!

well, or with an idea where to travel to.

The web search was quite simple at first, really: open Google, type "vacation New York", see who's there! Next step was a lot more difficult: where in New York? What hotel?

Reading the ratings on tripadvisor and holiday check and comparing...

I burned some midnight oil over the Christmas Holidays.

And t h e n got a shock when I discovered that the hotel prices had gone up several hundred bucks (!) inside 3 days, no kidding! :-{

so... back to the search engines...
