Now, it costs more to stay in an RV campground than a Holiday Inn and at
$5/gallon you can drive your small car to any resort and live in luxury

campground and cook your own meals on its tiny stove. No thanks...I
like being waited on hand and foot when I travel...spoiled awful.


The last little 400 mile trip we took, in early June, my wife noticed
the almost total absence of RVs and camper-trailers on the road, which
we both appreciated, and I again commented that Americans pulling or
driving one of those boxes along the highway was "the bestest wish" of
every Arab potentate and big oil criminal.

We were only staying one night at our destination, it was midweek, and
it was a first-class hotel. $79. I couldn't believe it. Two room suite,
free breakfast, free parking, quiet, and, of course, a *real* bathroom
with a shower and a tub. And right across the street, a first-class
restaurant with a full bar.

No drunks, no little rug rats running around loose, no late night noises.

Yeah, I'd rather drive in and stay in an RV or campter-trailer. Not.
