Looking For A Hotel

18 more days until departure to Munich en route to Cape Town landing in 20 days , of course hotel has not been booked yet LOL . Its a pain ... trying to figure out where is the best part of the city to stay , with parking ... free parking is best and my main problem right now is finding that . Recently i was informed about this website called Rocket Miles here check it out : https://www.rocketmiles.com/refer/ADRMIZZI . You get tons of points for booking with these guys . Remember i pay for my own trips so i am always looking for that extra bump to pay for my trips .... free flights always help :)

Most of my trips are planned around gaining Aeroplan points , so i usually book Star Alliance flights and i try to stay in hotels that are partners with Aeroplan but now this Rocket Miles website pops up and they give way more points for stays at hotels . The last couple trips i have booked my flights through Air Canada's website and that would give me like 300 points for a 3 nights stay , it's based on how much you spend . With Rocket Miles for those same 3 nights at the same rate i get roughly 6000 points !?!?!?! WOW . Kinda wish i didn't book my Texas trip already , but i had to or else i would be staying in some lonely hotel without the rest of my mates :( , so with Rocket Miles i get 1000 pts for a night at a hotel i am spending $100 a night for and with Air Canada's website i get 100 pts for a night .... hmmm ....

You guessed it right , i am gonna book with Rocket Miles when i find a hotel with free parking and hopefully a sauna LOL ! Just a heads up though .... if and when you are looking for a hotel don't book just based on price , always do your research . Everyone should have in mind that they want to stay somewhere near to where they plan to frequent ( like the rink ) , somewhere with airport shuttle is a + , places to eat nearby or in hotel is a definite + ... and if you are travelling with a car make sure to find out how much parking is . Once in New York City i ended up staying at a hotel with parking .... $60 a night ! So before you press the button and send your credit card info call the hotel or look up their website to find out more .... these booking websites get great deals but they don't always have all the info you need to confirm that you want to stay there .

Guess i should get back to hunting for hotels .... decisions ,decisions :)
