I definitely plan and share rooms. I have great luck with priceline and Corporate Lodging. I find priceline easier. It has saved me a lot of money! I am thrilled to hear of the price in the Keys!

Travelling as a single woman it makes me feel much safer to know I have pals around to bail me out of a tough spot should something happen to me. 

However, I would help any fellow Artist in need...so please ask!

I have 2 "bead buddies", we all create jewelry and sell at shows, fairs and festivals here in Maine. We each have our fave shows, and we all do different styles, so even when we do book the same shows and end up near each other in the floor plan, it works! We even do a few shows together for the purpose of traveling together and sharing expenses, such as hotel/motel fees, gas and tolls, and there are a couple of outside local shows where we share the booth. That is becoming more difficult as our inventories expand though, so we are phasing sharing booth/tent spots. This has helped all 3 of us, as we all were doing shows by ourselves. One of us prefers indoor booths, one of us prefers outdoor tent booths(ME) and the other is just completing her first year doing shows. Two of us have home studios where we work and meet with clients and have "Shop Hours", and the other is in the process of re-evaluating her marketing plan. But sharing expenses for lodging and travel has been a tremendous help to all of us.
