Tuesday

But when I do I go to one of the booking sites and find the place and get all the way up to where they show the phone number of the place and I call them directly. That's everything from the airline, room and car rental. I have used the booking sites a couple times and found that I fared better when I contacted each service directly. Convenience can be costly in ways other than your time.
