How to get more miles and points for your next car rental.

A couple of days ago, I wrote about how I love using Autoslash to find great deals on car rentals – without spending a lot of time in the process.

I wanted to share another quick and easy way to get even more value out of your next car rental by stacking deals. (If you read my previous post on this topic, you know how much I dislike searching for rental car deals, so you know this has to be a quick and easy tip!)

I am one of those people who gets inspired from bits and pieces. Pages torn out of magazines, random small objects, ribbon, little jars…as you can imagine, my desk is kind of a mess. The desktop of my computer is similarly cluttered. But I just think better when I am surrounded by interesting things. I’ve got a folder on my desktop where I keep virtual clippings of cool stuff. I was going through it tonight and thought I would share a few.

How I spent 6 weeks in a tent…in Oakland…and why I’m terrified of jet lag.

For those seven long years, I was so constantly tired that I felt like I was on some kind of strong hallucinogenic drug. I routinely saw bats flapping in the shadows and large shapes hulking in doorways. I stumbled through the days in a stupid haze, often forgetting basic information (Josh’s cell phone number, if I had eaten lunch, what that thing with the prongs is called…you know…that thing…?).
