I have read that AirBnB gets into a lot of issues with travelers in regards to many things, refunds being a good percentage of them. Was that your whole stay or "just" a deposit?
I know they're...
As I read about the fires, I thought about you and your trip. So sorry you had to cancel, but happy that all were issuing refunds. That's more than half the battle, there.
Planning on anything as...
I would have to do some research -- I'd forgotten about this created thread (it's 7 years old).
According to what I just googled, Chili's senior discount varies by location, as does the lighter...
If I recall, a Sprinter van is over 8 feet tall, correct? That may pose a little problem in historic Philadelphia: parking garages are not built for a tall vehicle. We have a normal pick-up truck,...
You just mentioned it taking 5-6 hours to go from Mt Rushmore to Brighton CO. It's around 375 miles, which is more like a 6-8 hour trip. You'll have some two-lane roads, which means slower anyway,...
EZ Pass is good in Delaware, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
SunPass is good in...
I was going to say that whichever national park or monument you get to, first, that's where you should purchase your AtB pass. In most cases, if an NP or NM charges for entrance, they will have the...
The trip I referred to, in my previous post, was back in 2017.
This is my personal log. It starts you as we began to go around Olympic on the eastern side, up to Sequim, around to the western...
First, Olympic NP is absolutely gorgeous. Hurricane Ridge, especially. But after you get to Seattle, try to find out from the National Park if the Canadian fires are obliterating the views at...
My husband and I have done parts of that, mentioned in AZBuck's post. Plus we have used I-95 (Hmmmm.....) to get through NC and SC. Posts 7 through 10 show our visits to Kitty Hawk, the Outer Banks,...
Just a word of caution -- GTSR is very, very popular and can get very, very congested at peak times of the day. Getting to St Mary or the west entrance before 9 am is almost mandatory if you'd...
I finally did our trip statistics:
Miles driven: 3915 miles total
Fuel costs: $550 (premium), $4.14 highest, $3.30 lowest, average MPG: 25.4
Meals: $1690, about $94/day
Lodging: $3340 - but we...
Day 17: Seeing Shiloh National Military Park
Our last "hurrah" on this trip was to be Shiloh National Military Park, in southern Tennessee closest to Savannah. Their visitor center is being...
Day 16: Pelham, AL to Savannah, TN
Another leisurely morning while we let the Birmingham rush hour pass by (we were on the south side, heading north). When we finally DID leave -- around 10 am --...
Day 15: Jacksonville FL to Pelham AL
This was a driving day, seeing whatever was along the sides of the road. We took I-95 up to I-10 and then west -- during JAX rush hour. We were relieved to be...
Day 14: The Oldest City in the US
Leaving our hotel on Monday morning, we headed north on I-95. We'd gotten fuel when we saw an electronic sign mention an accident with a back-up ahead. So we...
Days 12-13: Space Coast with Friends
We found our plans fit to visit our friends who once lived in CA, now live in FL. We'd spent Friday evening with them.
On Saturday morning, we enjoyed some...
Day 11: North via Lake Okeechobee
Being a weekday, we had debated how to head north to the Space Coast. We have friends there from our days in California, and we'd planned to spend the weekend...
Day 10: Leaving Key West, Seeing Everglades NP
We were slightly sad about departing from Key West after the lovely weather, but knew we still had some places and people to see in Florida. We just...
Day 9: Fort Zachary Taylor
The second item on our "must see" list for Key West was Fort Zachary Taylor. Built as a protector from pirates, it has served during many conflicts including the Civil...
Day 8: What does Key West have to offer?
From the first day of planning this part of the trip, we knew we could only afford so much $ and time in KW, so the research led to the things that were...
Day 7: The Overseas Highway
Since moving to the Midwest, one place on our "must do" list was the Overseas Highway, AKA "The Florida Keys". The Keys were the point of this trip. Not wishing to...
Day 6: Across Southern Florida on US-41
Making a leisurely exit from Naples Park, we got back on I-75 but not for long. We stayed on it until we could get on FL-951, which took us down to US-41....
Days 4 and5: Driving Florida
We spent two days driving the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast of Florida, utilizing I-10 and I-75. Both days had the sun shining, and the weather warm enough to at least...
