And there are those that would say that not having a $5K cushion isn't "doing
a very good job of contingency planning". Or $10K.

Many travelers do their best to save $25. Why should they blow $100 on a
hotel?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
