That's Better

We picked out this motel by stopping at the first rest area in Ohio and picking up the motel coupon book there. Not only did we get an extremely favorable rate, but it's one of the nicer rooms we've stayed in. The motel has a continental breakfast (which we slept through) and a pool (which we enjoyed looking at), but the most important things were the large comfortable beds, the working air conditioner, and the really nice bathroom.

Now we just have to get things packed up and get back on the road. Right after I find the nearest Target so we can find a blanket for Julie to substitute for her favorite blanket that's still at home.

Well, you know you're going to forget something.

Even now with one of these (see Element icon) . . .

I absolutely swear by those coupon books. They saved my life (I am not exaggerating) when I had to drive through the Pennsylvania mountains during a snowstorm, and would not otherwise been able to afford to get off the road.
Back then, I was driving a sedan, having had a license again for only 6 months at the time, to get to my father's funeral. Yah, sure, no pressure; no pressure at all.

We may be on the same route. Right now we are at the Guilderland rest area on I-90 nearing Albany. Isn't the rain fun? Ok, maybe not.

Same route, but it looks like you got through a lot earlier. :)
