I travel to europe twice a year. I already made most of my apartment/hotel accommodation for April 2025. I plan this early as I am then able to check out my bus/train transpo options and they are mostly similar from one year to the next. I am very specific in what I want in an apartment (99% of my accommodations) so like to check those out as well.
I was ruminating on a couple of choices of town and accommodations in 2 towns over these past couple of days. I finally made my choice this afternoon.
As I was sitting at the computer booking my hotel, the page "refreshed" and the prices more than doubled. I know now to never ever procrastinate. It's not that the new prices were outrageous it's just that I knew the cost when it was half it is now and what I now have to pay!
