" Nuthin' wrong with that. I once flew to Barcelona without any
" knowledge of where I would stay. Found a real nice "pension" for only
" $18/night; right on the main drag.

I've traveled around the country a lot, at one point driving for almost 6
months.  I don't think I've ever made a reservation, yet the only time I
had a problem was 4th of July weekend in Medford several years ago.  I had
decided to find a place just too late in the day, like 9pm.  

Every place was booked, YET a hotelier took pity on me and told me that if
the reservation for the executive suite didn't show up by midnight I could
have that -- at $45, normally about $250 or so.  They didn't show up to
claim the room and I had a 25 inch TV, a king bed, a private patio, a
private hot tub, and a full wet bar.  Unfortunately, I didn't have much
chance to use it all.  

So, I still don't make reservations.  I just play it by ear.
