Maybe not just cruises, hospitals, car rentals, et al.

As I have said I am taking a cruise this month (out of L.A.)

I decided to avoid any car/traffic unexpected problems by staying at the Hilton in Long Beach, just to be safe the night before. They informed me that they have a park-n-cruise package where I can leave my car there for seven days and return to pick it up for a measly $40 extra seven days later! ``Book it Dan`l``!! Now, just suppose that those people at the ``travel oriented`` location said, ``sure Mr. Tommy, we will gladly take care of your car! By the way, would you like to rent this digeplayer from us for a discounted price, and return it when you pick up your car?

You can get the batteries re-charged on the ship, because they provide these also, however, our daily rate is discounted because you are renting it for the week!``

Eventually? Maybe? Dreaming? Don`t know, but never thought you could go into coffee shops and libraries for computer connections a few years ago!
