I <3 hostels, specifically independent ones -- I pretty much exclusively stay at them whenever I travel, unless someone else is picking up the tab for a fancy-schmancy hotel as a treat or there is another compelling reason (needing privacy to work or bone or sleep w/no distractions) to stay elsewhere. I'd be happy to schedule a Indie Hostel feature into my column -- let me just pitch the idea to Stu. STU DO YOU LIKE THIS IDEA? ;) And, not dry is seriously important. I just stayed at the Lucky D in San Diego and had a blast... I will be returning "home" sometime in 2010 to stay at the India House for a week... I've stayed at Green Tortiose and Pac Tradewinds and the Adelaide in SF. I'm constantly looking for other indies that distinguish themselves as awesome to talk up... (What hostel are you at?) Hey Maria!

(That's how I got to Chitown to hang w/fam & friends this weekend!!) United especially seems to overbook on quite a regular basis!

It doesn't seem like they have overbooked flights as often as they used to. I agree….giving up your airline tickets for a free flight is a great deal.
