    Oh yes, the good old days when every road trip motel stop was a step imto the unknown. Our families routine was Mom would ask to see the room before we checked in while Dad would get out of the car to stretch his legs and light up another Chesterfield. Sometimes we just drove on to the next motel. Now we just call the chain's nationwide reservation on the cell phone. Where is the adventure in that ?

    Yeah, and nowadays, if you try to do that, you get laughed out of the place. My uncle was attacked by bedbugs at a Motel6 once. I guess you just have to take them on faith these days.
