Hotels

Hotel Reservations are being made. Finished 9 of 10 so far and the last is in motion. I am proud of myself for finding affordable, nice-looking, well-located small hotels in each city. Was not easy but was fun reading reviews and seeing how people's actual experiences differed from how the hotels' websites made things look. Because many of the hotels I found were so small, I have dealt directly with a few of the innkeepers. Some of them appear to be pretty much the nicest people ever.

The whole thing feels real now!!! :)
