Sheryl announces her return to BFT
Since Sheryl and her operation of Bidding for Travel were the subjects of so many posts in various threads, you might want to know that she has notified the world of her imminent return to active duty on BFT. So be careful.

Hopefully we'll see her return to posting on FT, also. She was a regular contributor here for a number of years.

I just got the email re: the "new" site - new domain, same ol' interface. I truly hope it functions better.

I got the notice, too. One thing that is puzzling to me is why EXPEDIA is part of the 'title' now 
"pricelineandexpediabidding.yuku" (bolding mine).

I know it's saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

Am I missing something? When I go to the biddingfortravel site, I don't get any of the content (states, cities, hotel lists, etc.) that I've been using for the past five or so years.

Follow-up: The address has now been changed to remove the "Expedia" part - finally. It's now "www.biddingfortravel.yuku.com"

pricelineandexpediabidding.yuku.
Now that's a mouthful. Hopefully, they will keep the redirect in place by typing in biddingfortravel.com.
Maybe Sheryl has been reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie during her time off.
