PamFax to the Rescue...
Last weekend I traveled to Erie, PA to attend a recognition event involving the Erie Otters junior hockey team; this is a development league for players who eventually end up playing professionally in the National Hockey League. I had ordered my tickets through Ticketmaster last fall when I first learned of the event.
But I drove down only to realize I had left the tickets at home; it's a three hour drive plus time clearing US entry (not excessively long this trip). I did, however, take along my laptop. So, after checking into my hotel, I searched for the confirming email (with help from Windows Desktop Search), looked up my hotel's fax number and then "printed" it to PamFax. Two minutes later I picked up a printed copy of the email, with all the details of my ticket purchase, at the front desk of my hotel.
It was an enjoyable evening for all, especially my neighbor's son, whose leadership of the team when they won a championship five years ago was the reason for the recognition. Thank you, PamFax! (and the Skype Extras infrastructure that made it possible).

Congrats.
Now that's some creative thinking to use your resources you already have at hand.
Most of us only go there when we are forced to be creative at times of dire need.
I would like to know is this the first time you have performed such a task with PamFax.
Hats Off to PamFax

It's the first time I've used PamFax in this way. I have sent faxes from hotels before but it was always a complicated process (usually involving taking a document to the front desk) and they wanted $1.00 or more per page (depending on destination). Including the cover page this one cost me about $0.50 for two pages. Of course in this case I just needed access to a printer and do not travel with one. And it took me all of about one or two minutes to set it up and send it.
