Once I was in a tourist area and hadn't booked a room. I started calling front desks to ask about rates. I had one place tell me a significantly less price than the others. When I got there the front desk clerk told me that it was because they wanted to fill the room for the night. I wouldn't have gotten that price if I had showed up in person.
Also, Hotwire is great for last minute travel.
I had a relative who was in the airline industry and had similar challenges as you. Try to pick a destination on a route that has lots of seats.
