Ah.  I suspected so, but I'm not that much for doing anything online,
particularly anything related to shopping or booking things, and when I
suggested that we do it on her computer, she'd just had a bunch of bad
experiences trying to do such online, and wanted to just use the phone. 
I think maybe we should have gone to the AAA office and let them* do it
for us online...  (G)  I bet we'd've gotten a better price.

We might get a break, though.  Our AC didn't work, and when it was
obvious they wouldn't be able to fix it before we were due to leave, we
asked for a price break, since the only open room they had available was
a smoking room and we particularly needed a non-smoker.  Unfortunately,
the manager who makes those decisions wasn't going to be there until
Monday, and we needed to check out Sunday.  So we'll see if we get a
rebate after the fact.  I guess I'm not holding my breath, but it would
be a nice thing if it comes through... :)

Too bad...  But she could've come to our room, we had some breakfast
type stuff with us, most of which came back with us... ;)
