		<description><![CDATA[I have, for more than a week, been trying to get some resolution from the hotel I mentioned in earlier posts by telephone. I was, I suppose, of the belief that a phone call would be more effective than email. And in some cases it is. But today, out of frustration, I pulled open a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have nothing against Hotels.com. Up until last weekend, I thought they served a useful purpose. But I&#8217;ve learned my lesson, and from here on, while I may find a hotel at Hotels.com or Expedia, I will be booking directly through the hotel.
Here&#8217;s why.

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend my laptop was stolen from my hotel room while I was on vacation.
It wasn&#8217;t an expensive laptop&#8230; I travel with a cheap little Acer Netbook &#8230; but it was still alarming.
However, I did learn a few things from the experience.
First, if you&#8217;re keeping your laptop in your hotel room, keep the cables in [...]]]></description>

However, I&#8217;ve been seeing more and more people having success with it, so I knew I had to give it an extended try. But I didn&#8217;t want to go there without a roadmap.

I ran a virus scan, and Zone Alarm pinpointed a .dll file in windows/system32 as the culprit. I quarantined it, and thought I [...]]]></description>
