You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained.<br /><br />Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.<br />..HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more <br />than that, how you presented it. Too cool!<br /><i>Feel free to visit my web-site</i> :: <b><a href="http://www.purecoffeebean-extract.ca/coffee-bean-extract-with-svetol/" rel="nofollow">svetol canada</a></b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748920856459488211.post-82832797690616638522009-03-19T05:38:00.000+00:002009-03-19T05:38:00.000+00:00Agree with Nomad Idle!Some time ago, Mrs S and I w...Agree with Nomad Idle!<BR/><BR/>Some time ago, Mrs S and I weretraipsing around The Blue Ridge Mountains, and one lunchtime, stopped for a well earned lunch.<BR/><BR/>As much of our time was spent on foot, we usually took a modicum of refreshment of the White 14% variety as well.<BR/><BR/>We saw absolutely no drinks like this on the menu, or anywhere else, and were much abashed.<BR/><BR/>While staring down at the table top in utter deep despair, (having ordered a Hero sandwich, and - yucch, cold tea...), my gaze just spotted the smallest of adverts stuck to a salt cellar, about a millimetre square, advertising Gallo Wine.<BR/><BR/>Lights up all round, fanfares of trumpets and a hoot of triumph!<BR/><BR/>The waitress uttered the imortal words 'Why of course we have this Sir, would you like the wine list'?<BR/><BR/>Oh yes we did!<BR/><BR/>Oh bloody yes!!!Sen.

My modus operandum is to collect the pre-booked car at the airport on arrival and follow the mirrors from there. Always book the first and last nights before leaving home so you have guaranteed accommodation on arrival and the night before flying out again, but leave the rest to chance. I have never yet come across a motel that was fully booked (except for a weekend in Tasmania when all the sheep farmers on the island were in Launceston for the annual country fayre!).<BR/><BR/>It is my experience that motels which are usually run by their owners, are far more friendly than hotels. Most offer limited cooking facilities, together with a free packet of milk daily, so no need to spend all your holiday cash on expensive outside or (even worse) hotel food. Most also provide laundry facilities for a small fee, and there is never any problem parking the wheels. Added to which for all this comfort, their prices are somewhat under the standard hotel rates and you don't have noisy inebriated guests running up and down the corridors at 2am.<BR/><BR/>Trip Advisor is useful to glance at - but as your examples show, tell little about the actual premises or the state of the facilities offered. Google 'Motels in XXXX' and browse away. Bon vacance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
