<icontent>     My husband and I will be first time visitors to New York next year, and have booked a 7 night stay at the Radio City Apartments, and I am wondering if we should book another hotel for back-up. Any advice?    </icontent>

<rcontent>     I would suggest unless you have some doubts about your reservation you are needlessly worrying.    </rcontent>

<rcontent>     When you visit other cities/resorts, etc....do you book &quot;safety - just in case rooms&quot;????  If the answer is no, as Frank mentioned, you are worrying about nothing!!!   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     Above responses are good. If you want to look forward to your trip without anxiety then you might want to call the hotel and ask them to confirm that they  have your reservation. They could e-mail you a   second confirmation.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     No.    Reasons:    1. Why, if you have a confirmed reservation they will give you a room.    2. You forget to cancel the second reservation and are charged for it.    3. You are reserving a room you have no real plan of using which is not fair to the hotel or to fellow travelers as it makes unavailable already scarce rooms.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     i have been to spain and germany so far this year and booked hotel and flights independently of each other ,1 for a group of 12 ,the other a group of 7 ,as a first timer to taking on this task i worried myself sick that if it did not go right it would fall back on me ,i will never again let worrying take over a holiday as we had a great time,i would suggest you relax and look forward to your time in new york ,you are not going until next year is it really worth worrying over ,its not as if you are going to a non english speaking country you are still in your homeland ,as a previous post said phone the apartments and put your mind at ease,stop worrying .   </rcontent>
