Car healed and so am I!

 Thanksgiving Vacay/Staycay

 

   Since my car was on crutches, I was stuck way up north, and shops are closed the entire 4-day weekend, I thought I’d had enuf of the stress, and gave myself a holiday from the road. 

   Since the nearest hostel was over 70 miles south, I searched for the cheapest and nearest motel. There were plenty, thank goodness! 

    Fun fact; Motel6 is called Motel6 because it used to be $6 a night. 

Now it’s pricier than most motels, so I continued searching.

    Found several that weren’t advertised, only took reservations by phone. Before I reserved, I did one last search. Reviews. The prices went up a bit. 

Hmmm. Most reviews were okay, not the greatest, but definitely expected for the prices. 

I was okay with smoking, coffee stains, no towels, fine. 

Then I filtered them down to one word. Bugs. Oops, there were plenty. And pics. Not good. As I continued searching, the prices went up of course. 

   And here I am, not one single b review. And it’s true to form. 

Clean, hot water, cable TV, plush bedding, not 1 stain, I looked everywhere, not one stain anywhere! 

Oh, and hot and cold continental breakfast. Yes! I immediately became a member, got a tiny discount, and am dug in for the week. 

   I must say to the customers on my route, you’re the best. Have an awesome holiday, I’ll keep posting here…
