Thank you for the information regarding hotel sites.

I guess I was guilty of skepticism in wrongly believing that internet sites would work mostly for big US hotels.

According to my past experience I bought a few rooms in large US hotels through the well know American sites like Orbitz, Expedia,Travelocity. I found they all charged similar prices and believed it was not worth it to look in other sites.

Now a new world has opened to me as I have found a myriad of sites for small European hotels. The difference between them are some times very big. Now I know what to do. My skepticism also had a dash of laziness. I am writing this because there might be some other Ziners that have had similar experiences.

Thank you again, Graziella, Miami Beach
