That sounds like fun! So for me it was during grad school where we were at a conference but even though it had credit function they wouldn't take that so I thought about going to an ATM but they would not take cash either...it had to be a credit card....luckily I had one I never used because I thought it was so much easier to have everything taken out of checking without paying another bill. So I always used it like a credit card but I could have been stranded across country with no way to pay for a hotel had I not had a credit card as well. That is why I was freaking out a little.


Does she use hotwire? You can get great deals on those four star hotels that way although you can't pick the exact hotel.
