Hi, again sheepish look

Well, it turns out to be a tempest in a teapot. The broker from whom I'd
gotten the wind up my back probably was just irritated that I'd not come to
him in the beginning of the search process (never mind that we're going that
far afield only because we've not succeeded already), and didn't want to
work with me when I presented him the opportunity.

Indeed, the Bay is like the rest of my experience so far, and I'm working
with a broker referred to me by one of their customers. I'm hopeful of
being in Annapolis later this week.

Anyone got any mom-and-pop type motels within - say - 30 miles of Annapolis
to which they can refer me? I don't use anything more than a phone, a bed
and a shower, and, in addition to being frugal, would prefer to put my hotel
money into the hands of locals. I successfully used that model all over the
east and midwest during my rowing shell deliveries the last couple of years.
The typical is one of the older (probably from the 50s or 60s) in-line
single-story things in the backwoods areas. I recognize it may be difficult
to find one in that part of the world...
