you bring up a good point PH about the long term to short term availability.
My wife and I would always talk in advance about where we wanted to go and then she would jump on the computer and make it happen. Funny thing is that I thought she always enjoyed it kind of like shopping (just for hotels and events) Guess I am going to have to ask her, for my own curiosity and my next relationship. maybe she though I was a procastanator too....hmmmm?
