Hi Friends!
This week’s Real Life lesson gives you an example of how to reserve a hotel room. It is always best to call ahead of time for a room. If you call more than one hotel you can compare prices to make sure that you are getting a good deal. Always remember to ask if there are any special room rates available when you call a hotel or motel! Listen in as I call the Marriott to book a room for the upcoming weekend!

Discussion
From this point on in the conversation, the Hotel Reservation Operator asked me for information about my name, address, phone number and credit card. She asked me if I wanted a smoking or non-smoking room and if I wanted one King size bed or two queen size beds.
When she finished asking me questions, she gave me a reservation number. When I go to the hotel next weekend I should take that number with me, just to be on the safe side.
Come to the “Life Goes On” Message Board and let me know how you all fare when making reservations! As always, I wish you all a wonderful week!
Your friend,
Tanis
