I'm looking for a little help. My daughter is travelling to NO (from
Australia) this week, and has just received an email from the hotel
cancelling her booking. She booked and paid a deposit months ago. This is
turning into a nightmare trip. She was going to tour the states for 3-4
weeks with a friend, visiting some of the larger cities. Her friend had to
pull out in January, so she decided to go by herself and just do New Orleans
(big concert on). Now this. :-(

Does anyone know of a bed and breakfast or something that travel agents
might not - everything is booked out. She needs accomodation for the 10th
and 11th.


thanks

chris
:-)

Did she get her deposit refunded?? ANd did they give a legit reason
for canceling it?? Just curious, and I can hunt around if you want me
to....

I haven't lived in New Orleans since 1983, nor visited since 1987, so I
can't help with the bed and breakfast. I wanted to see if I could find
out which concert your daughter was willing to travel all that way for.
Maybe my googling skills need help, and maybe the webpage I found was
difficult to navigate. Either way, I didn't find it, and I'm curious.

Have you checked the discount travel sites like travelocity.com and the
like? They often have great last-minute deals.

Google something called the Warm Showers List. It's technically for
touring bicyclists. Folks (who are staying-put bicyclists) offer a
spare bedroom or floor space.

Also look for local chapters of any clubs to which you belong. Lions,
Elks, Kiwanis, Red Hat, bicycle clubs, hikers, Sierra Club, American
Youth Hostels. Square dancers. With the internet, this is easier than
previously. (I've done this when working a large trade show near
Chicago, and found a bicycle club couple one year, and a bike club guy
another time.)

Might be a regular on this list who knows of an empty Katrina
trailer.
