At the MOA rally, I got a room in advance, had to pay for it, then when we only used it two of the three nights, sorry no refunds...<br /><br />Wow, you're in Maine now!

It's either further than I really wanted to it's too soon... Most of the time it is just the pressure of the "have to get there" thing. Of course on my trip last year I got caught without a hotel room available after several stops after midnight. I guess it's a mixed bag really. But minimal plans other than my route is what I personally like to do. <br /><br />William / todkapuzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
