If you've listened to the Chet and Bernie mysteries, you will know what it sounds like when I say, "am I lucky or what".
I've been booking through Expedia this trip, normally we wing it. But we've heard enough people be told no rooms left when we finally get to the motels to wise up.
Yesterday in Paducah Kentucky was a fainter though. We could see by the map we were on the river front, on Front St.. Up and down we went, no Front St. I pulled up my confirmation in email, AKKK, I was booked some place on Front St. in Illinois! Turned out it was OK, Metropolis Illinois comes up in the Paducah search, it is on the other side of the river. Another twenty minutes drive we were there. The point of the story though is Rob didn't get mad. Not a bit. Am I lucky or what? (A fainter because the best rates are non-refundable)
