Once
you have the rates and the confirmation — you’re all set.
I take a spiral notebook and staple the correspondence (requests,
responses, confirmations) and use the extra pages as a journal for
the trip. This is just extra insurance that you won’t get to
a hotel and find you have no room or get told the rates have changed
etc. Frankly, I’ve never had a problem as long as I’ve
had my trusty "booklet" with me.
