A Moment About Our Anniversary

Our Anniversary is coming...!!! September 23, my husband and I will have been married 2 years. While this is certainly not a long period of time (hats off and glasses raised to those who have made it twenty something years and such), it is still pretty exciting. We haven't gotten to spend much time off on our own. We didn't have a honeymoon, we got pregnant six weeks after our wedding (which wasn't really a "wedding"), we had a baby, moved to a few different states, and haven't gotten to do anything fun. Last year we sat around wishing we had money to celebrate with. We ate out at a little family restaurant with the baby crying the whole time. This year, we want to do it in style. At least a little bit! We are hoping to book a room, nice tub, pool, breakfast, refrigerator. A little wine, a fruit basket, you know the deal. So, I found a website that has turned out to be a great deal of help and a lot of fun to use as well. Hotel Reservations can be made here, and they have the tools to help you find exactly what you want to find. You can find out what amenities the hotel, motel, inn (and even some vacation houses) have. You can book the room for a good discount. They offer a wide variety of types of rooms (found one in our area for 29 bucks, and while I said, "no, thank you", it is still there is someone really wanted a cheap room.

This site was easy to use (always a plus, I hate going to a site and being frustrated with the interface and struggling to find what I wanted), it made looking easy and fun. I even checked out some hotels farther away then we were going to go, and a few vacation houses in San Antonio. Additionally, it works for places all over the world (not just here in Texas :-P). Would be a good place to book a hotel for Paris, or such place that one would want to go. Well, at least I want to go...

Back to this website...

Each listing gives you the name of the hotel, how many stars it has been given, room information (including how much each room is each night, what the total would be for the entire stay, what the amenities of each room are, and such), then there is a section with photos and information about the hotel, a list of the properties amenities (pool, elevator, breakfast, that sort of thing), areas of interest nearby, driving direction, property information (how many rooms they have, what time check in starts, the latest check out time, etcetera), and hotel policies. Each hotel has it's own cancellation policies, but this website does a great job of letting you know what that is. Overall, an A+ website, a good savings, and a fun tool! Give it a try sometime, I know I will be booking our anniversary "get-a-way" that way!
