I've done the barter-for-a-night thing before - although never at a =
$500/night establishment. A few years back I drove up to one of the =
Annual PTG Conventions and managed to arrange three nights bartered =
lodging at three bed and breakfasts. Generally it won't work on a =
weekend, but on a Monday or Tuesday night, they might be game. What I =
would do is call and inquire about the facility. Q: "Does your facility =
have a piano for guests to play?"  A: "Oh yes, but I'm not sure if you =
would want to play it because it has been years since it was last =
tuned."  Q: "Well, actually that is just what I was looking for - have I =
got a deal for you! Interested in a tuning for a bed barter - consider =
that you are not going to fill that bed anyway that evening?"

It's a fun way to travel.

  I spent last weekend up in Yosemite.  While I was there, I heard that =
there were a couple of large Steinways at the Awahnee Hotel in the =
valley.  I was wondering if anybody on this list tunes, or knows who =
tunes them?  I was hoping to maybe get a barter deal for a night....

  Yosemite is beautiful in the winter.  Of the millions of tourists who =
visit there each year, very few of them visit in the cold season.  Quite =
a peaceful experience.
