When trying to think of a gift for someone.....

I try and think of an interest the person has......say golf.....then I go to Ebay and
find a fast way to llok at 5,000 items a golfer might want that are not golf clubs....
all golfers have clubs......try it ...it saves not just money but time you save from shopping....
I should note that Ebay sells just as many NEW items as used.......long ago it seemed like it was mostly used junk you had to sort through to find something decent....

Rental Cars

Whenever you are going to rent a car at your destination airport,
avoid a long line,reserve online at 2 or 3 different agencies,I do the
cheapest one I can find and then Enterprise or Budget,then when you arrive use the reservation at the counter with the shortest line. The system does not require you to provide any more thatn your name and address so there is no penalty for mssing a reservation....saves time!
