Traveling is fun. It is great to go to new cities or events. Get out of the house and dust off the cobwebs a bit. Random weekend trips happen to be one of mine and Dad’s favorite things to do. Why sit at home and do nothing when you can load and go for a trip? Traveling decades ago is nothing like it is now. If we get lost, we pull up a map on the phone and figure out where to go. We used to pull out a map and find the destination. People can go on their phone and reserve a hotel room before they get somewhere.  Looking for a vacancy sign lit up used to be the norm. There are many of you who remember it well. No cell phones to call ahead. If we needed to call ahead, we would pull over and use a pay phone. Most just drove until you found one open or with their vacancy sign lit up. Come to find out, these are still places around. These places use their vacancy signs, have clean rooms, pools for fun, and serve a continental breakfast. Not just 1 or 2 places, all the hotels...
