I kind of got icked out on hotels after seen some “blue light” videos of how disgusting they are. Then during COVID they doubled down on the ick factor by housing the homeless and now illegals in hotels.
So unless I’m sleeping in my car or the house of a friend or family - no thanks.
This is why we have a travel trailer and an extensive group of friends with driveways to park in. From Montana, to Idaho to Ocean Shores here in Washington. You don’t need airline tickets and fancy hotels to have a GREAT vacation. I personally would rather park in a friends driveway with great beach access than get a hotel.
