Ok. I’m really excited. My hubby and I are going to San Antonio this weekend. It’s been quite a while since we got to go on vacation. My husband works way too much, so we don’t get a chance to do fun things together, even on the weekend, very often. I’m looking forward to getting away from everything, even if it is just for a couple of days.
I am a new fan of Priceline. I’ve always been hesitant to try it in the past, because I like to pick out a specific hotel and know exactly where I’ll be staying. Well, I stumbled upon a message board today that discusses how to get a good deal on Priceline. I was intrigued. After reading some tips and some messages discussing hotels in San Antonio I decided to give it a try. Well, I got a 4 star hotel in downtown S.A. for which the lowest rate on other sites (orbitz, expedia, etc.) was $159/night for $60/night. Sweet! Nothing like saving $100. I don’t think I would hav
e picked this hotel out if I had just been booking the regular way, but it looks very promising.
Speaking of new methods of purchasing over the internet, I am now purchasing shorts through ebay. I’ve bought other things through ebay before, so that in itself is not new, but buying clothes is. If you know me, you know how hard it is for me to find clothes that fit, so it would seem counterintuitive to buy shorts through ebay. Not so. I’ve found a specific cut of Gap shorts that fit pretty well. I got them at a Gap outlet over a year ago. You can’t buy these shorts at a regular Gap or even gap.com, but I’ve found them on ebay. Plus they’re cheap.
