Lately there have been lots of travel stories from people who have found huge bargains on hotel rooms at the last minute. Unfortunately, these stories fail to mention that most of these bargain prices are at second-rate hotels with limited options available. Experienced travelers know the advantages of booking hotels in advance include locking in the best price, a wider variety of options and peace of mind.
A simple search online will uncover many sites that offer discount travel services for the bargain hunter. There is even a wide variety of websites that specialize in finding you the best deal on your advance hotel bookings. It doesn’t hurt to ask directly of the desired hotel if they offer any sorts of discounts for booking in advance, either. Due to the popularity of the online services, many hotels are offering deals of their own for booking direct with their reservation desks.
Hotels generally set aside a certain number of rooms at the discount rate and they will most likely already be taken if you try to wait until the last minute. When you book your hotel in advance, you will be locking in the lowest available price for the time you need the room. Even if the prices go up at a later date, you will enjoy the low rate that you reserved when you booked the room. This can easily save hundreds of dollars over a week’s stay.
You will get the largest number of options for your stay when you reserve your room ahead of time. Options such as in-room kitchenettes, microwaves and other extras tend to be snapped up quickly by travelers who book early. If you want to get the best accommodation with all the extra features that you need or desire, you will have to book in advance. Otherwise, you could very well end up stuck with the leftover room on the inside corridor next to the vending machines!
The peace of mind you gain may well be the biggest benefit of booking your hotels in advance. There isn’t much worse than getting to your location at the end of a long day traveling and finding no room at the inn. The last thing you need is to spend hours running from hotel to hotel to find one that has a room. Booking hotels in advance will benefit you with guaranteed availability as well as the ability to plan your stay better.
The benefits of booking hotels in advance far outweigh the small chance that you will get a bargain price by waiting until the last minute. With being able to lock in the best price, a wider variety of options and peace of mind, most frequent travelers will recommend that you always book your hotels ahead. Why risk getting a lousy room or worse – not getting a room at all? Booking your hotels in advance will prevent you from ever hearing these dreaded words from the hotel desk clerk, “Sorry, no room at the inn!”

Do you like it hot and humid?  If so, then you’ll want to head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, one of the most favored spring break destinations in the country.   Sure, there are plenty of other things to do, but it all starts with the heat and humidity.

Let’s get this out of the way; there are miles of beaches around Fort Lauderdale, right on the Atlantic Ocean.   Getting sun isn’t going to be one of your issues while there, although, when it rains, you’re going to find that it really feels like someone has taken a pitcher and is pouring it on you.   It makes you think you’re going through a hurricane every time if you’re not used to it.   However, residents are used to the rain, and continue doing things such as jogging and swimming in it unless it’s also thundering and lightning.   There are also numerous hotels and motels to stay at, of all price ranges, so you’ll never have to worry about not finding a hotel room in the area.

But there are other things to do while in Fort Lauderdale.   There’s the Museum of Discovery and Science with its Autonation 3D IMAX Theater, which has over 200 exhibits, including some live animal exhibits.   It’s over 11,000 square feet of presentations, including the largest IMAX Theater in South Florida.

There’s the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center, which has over 85,000 books and a 300 seat theater for presentations related to African-American history.   There’s world class entertainment consistently in the area by top entertainers, performing at either the Broward Center for the Performing Arts or the Florida Grand Opera.   And there’s the Museum of Art on the campus of Nova Southeastern University, which offers many avant garde modern pieces.   Other attractions are the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood, the Gold Coast Jazz Society, and the well known Cinema Paradiso, home of the annual Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.

There’s also a thriving night life in Fort Lauderdale.   There are plenty of evening activities held at the Hollywood Beach Theater, and at least ten casinos in the area, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.   There are many upscale restaurants in the area also.   Fort Lauderdale is also known for its emphasis on multi-cultural events throughout the year.   And, if you want to catch a Dolphins or Marlins game, you’re only about 35 minutes away from Miami.

Fort Lauderdale has lots to offer, but it’s probably best if you go during the winter months, as heat and humidity can literally make it hard to breathe in the summer months if you’re not used to it.

Miami Beach, FL, September 13, 2007 – Epoque & Avantgarde Hotels continues to excel in establishing itself as the most coveted collection of trend-setting and luxury-classic boutique hotels. In mid July 2007 the American hotel Representation Company reaches 300 properties in the top worldwide destinations, adding thirty more to its portfolio from the beginning of the year.

“We are very pleased of this great achievement,” says David Maranzana, president of Epoque Hotels, “Both the Avantgarde and the Epoque lines have evenly increased in number of affiliates. Of course our objective is to keep acquiring properties, especially in newer destinations, but our further goal is to increase brand awareness in Europe and open an office in Spain,” concludes Maranzana.

A Valuable Mortgage Lesson Learned From Tiger Woods

Unless you’ve been living in a cave or under a rock the last few years, you’ve seen first hand how Tiger Woods has become one of the most dominate forces in men’s golf.

We watched as he won the CA Championship at Doral Golf Club a few weeks ago by two strokes. Woods won this event for the sixth time, more than any other tournament. Tiger is believed to be the first player to win a tournament six times on six courses – in Spain, Ireland, Atlanta, San Francisco, London and Miami, the latter on a Blue Monster course where he has won the last three years.

There is no doubt we are witnessing the performance of a truly great athlete. His dedication and preparation is truly amazing. He finished at 10 under par at 278 and earned $1. 35 million for his second victory of the year, and 56th of his career.

You’re probably asking. . . Where’s that mortgage lesson you talked about? OK. . . Here we go!

On every hole that Tiger plays (whether it is practice or sanctioned play) a gentleman follows Tiger closely. . . charting each stroke and documenting the results. He maintains a low profile and you would find it difficult to pick him out from the gallery that follows Tiger on every hole. He documents each hole, of each round, at each location that Tiger plays.

Just so you know, the gentleman’s name is Hank Haney and he is the “Swing Coach” of Tiger Woods. Tiger pays Hank one million dollars a year plus expenses to perform this function. Hank Haney charts each stroke from tee to green, analyzes each stroke, and then recommends the appropriate practice to correct the problems that he may have noted.

Hank Haney doesn’t organize Tiger’s travel plans or make hotel reservations, and he doesn’t chart the golf course (that’s the job of Steve Williams, Tiger’s caddie of six years). As a side note, Tiger pays Steve some 10% of all purse monies. Hank Haney gets paid to do just one thing. . . to be Tiger’s “Swing Coach. ”

Today, most of the top pros on the tour employ a “Coach. ” We picked Tiger to underscore our point here: Why would a man so naturally talented and currently so dominating in his profession, be willing to invest such a huge amount of money into his game?

The answer is simple! He’s investing in his business. . . his livelihood. . . and, his future. He knows that to stay ahead of his competition he needs to invest, or better yet. . . re-invest in his business at every opportunity. With tour earnings of $9. 9 million in 2006. . . Tiger spent more than 20% of that amount to improve his business.

I am always amazed by the number of Loan Officers/Mortgage Brokers who don’t spend more than fifty dollars a year on their own professional growth. We’re in a profession that’s changing daily and by leaps and bounds, and most mortgage folks refuse to invest in their business.

There’s no doubt, you began a strong mortgage career, and you really got into it – but then you fell asleep at the switch and forgot to do those basic things like read industry publications or new books by sales masters.

You don’t go to sales seminars. You don’t listen to audios or view videos on sales-related topics. You don’t have any paid subscriptions to newsletters that could improve your mortgage knowledge or capability. In short, you don’t constantly re-invigorate and improve your business or yourself.

If you want to survive and prosper in the Mortgage Business today. . . you need to be a “Tiger” and invest in your profession.
