With you! Sideline, though, as a fellow smoker (along with wifey)....road trips are gettin' tough. If you're just toodling around the country with no reservations such as we wrapped up last week, finding 'smoker friendly' accomodations is turning out to be a real bitch.
The entire "Choice Hotels" chain is now smoke-free, and we've come across two cities (Rapid City, SD and Salina, KS) that actually have deemed ALL their lodging to refuse puffers.
Smoking is even banned in most of Europe.
The entire thing is insanity.
Your trip sounds great,I’ve never visited The Dakotas,Kansas,or Nebraska. Maybe someday.
