Great post, Chris! I absolutely agree with what you were saying about booking accommodation online.
It’s so convenient to just get your rooms booked with the click of a mouse, but of course there’s always the worry of not actually being able to see what you’re paying for until you get there.
I’ve done it a few times now, and been disappointed. Never mind. You live and learn!
