Tooting my horn

Yesterday was luck and fate wrapped in a box and delivered to my desk. I was looking for places to stay in Barcelona online for our holiday and I stumbled upon a price drop for our cabin 'rating' on our cruise portion -- and called up my cruise agent, stat! The original price I found was still the same that we had paid before (bad memory for me), but by the time our agent called us back (around 6pm) the price had dropped $300 EACH and we managed to scoop that up!

Just to show how much these prices seem to jump up and down, I looked on the cruise line website before bed and it was back up $310. Crazy!

Stupid phone calls

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's getting annoying telemarketer calls, or 'courtesy calls' during the day...evening...night, you name it (and they don't leave messages or are just a dead line). I came across this tonight:

It only works for companies in Canada registered with the CMA, so it might not do much. Like those stupid 'Bloomingdales, Macy's and other stores...you've won a vacation!' calls that come from the States. But it's a little glimmer of hope.
