Quest for Cheap Hotels
There is nothing worse that arriving at your destination and not having reservations for accommodations. I had an instance where I traveled from Maine to Virginia without a break from driving. I got to my sister-in-laws town at 2 AM. I could not go knocking on her door at 2 AM, since she was not expecting me until 7 AM. I drove all around that little town looking for cheap hotels. I only had $90 left to last until payday. I could not find anything for less than $120 per night. I was so dog-tired; I spotted a dirt tote-road and parked to the side. When dawn came, I woke up to the sound of dump trucks driving passing by. It turned out I had parked at the entry to a huge excavation site. It was an unpleasant experience, to say the least.
