Katie and I decided not to push the driving too hard...so we basically broke up the trip into two 10 hour days(approx)then a 4.5 hour day which lands us in San Marcos, TX, where the hundreds of Factory Outlet Stores are...then either continue driving to our destination(another 4.5 hours) or stay overnight in San Marcos and get to our Mobile Home around noon on Monday(this being the more likely option).
At this time of the year, of course, all depends on the weather. I won't book any hotels in advance if their cancellation policy is the day before arrival. Can't predict that with the uncertainty of the weather.
This year we got 6 $100 cards for Best Western from Airmiles. Good thing about them is there is no expiry date, and if the hotel is less..the balance stays on the cards...if more, then you just pay the difference.
We plan to drive to Council Bluffs, Iowa the first day which is about a 9.5 or 10 hour drive. We previously stayed at a Best Western there on the way home, but we were not that crazy about the location, or the room...so I booked the Best Western Kelly Inn right across the river in Omaha Nebraska. The cancellation policy is 4PM on the day of arrival, so that is fine with me, if we get delayed we can always cancel. This hotel gets good ratings.
Council Bluffs has several big casinos, and seeing as Katie is lucky at virtually any casino we ever go to, we will likely spend an hour or two,after we arrive. Notice I didn't say that I am lucky at casinos.
So we have 8 days left to departure...looking forward to it.
