What's with Expedia?
To make things easy, I decided to book air and hotel to Rome through Expedia.
Two hours after my inital search, having narrowed my hotel choice down to one (of dozens offered), I went back on Expedia and the prices had gone up over $200 per person.
Is this typical of Expedia?

that prices always go up when you look at it a few days after the first time? no, but it isn't usual for Expedia or many other booking sites to change prices when inventory is running out, during holiday periods, etc. For example, once I was looking for a hotel in Quebec City for a holiday weekend, and I saw the rates go up and up within a week on several websites while I was trying to make up my mind. I know it is because they were getting booked up, I was just procrastinating.
