Hooray for planning ahead!

I was just verifying our van rental online - AAA has updated their reservation system since I placed it, so I had to jump through no end of hoops to get it done. Not that I broke a sweat or anything, but it was really annoying. I made the reservation in early September, which was the earliest I could make it. I like to plan ahead, what can I say? So at the time, the van was $350ish/week. I decided to see how much it would cost to make the same reservation now - $999.99/week! Holy crap!! Now I want to try again closer to vacation to see how much it will be then. I realize it's not really saving me any more money, but it still makes me feel better.
