I was having a lazy late breakfast when my mobile phone bleeped at me. It was a text message from my daughter, who is back packing in Poland, telling me read my Hotmail at once. 

Being a dutiful father I did so.  She was leaving Krakow and wanted me to book her a hostel in Warsaw.  She had included in her email the link for hostelbookers.com and the name of her prefered hostel.

I clicked the link and it took me straight to HostelBookers.  Using the card she had left at home for the purpose I booked her in for the nights she had requested.  Minutes later the official booking and reciept arrived in my inbox.  I forwarded this to her Hotmail address then sent her a text to say the job was done.

I went back to my lazy breakfast - coffee still warm.
