My husband is coming with me and we're at the Sheraton for 159 a night. It would certainly be more cost effective to leave him home and share a room with 3 other gals...but heck, I like the guy and I like traveling with him - LOL. But seriously - he is THE supoprtive spouse and he loves to come and hear about everythign I am learning and to go ove rmy notes with me and share in the excitement - he rocks

That's so cool! My husband is very supportive and is the reason I got into this business, but he's not THAT supportive where he'll sit there and brainstorm with me with my notes!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some effective strategies to save money on hotel rooms?
To save money on hotel rooms, consider booking during off-peak seasons, using price comparison websites, and signing up for loyalty programs. Additionally, look for discounts through memberships like AAA or AARP, and consider alternative accommodations like vacation rentals or hostels.
How can I find the best hotel deals online?
