We like an occasional room service breakfast, particularly on the last
day before we fly out.
Marriotts usually have a pretty good breakfast.



We've done the RV thing several times with several different types of
RV's ranging from Class A motorhomes, Class C rigs and a 37 foot fifth
wheel rig. The last one we had was the little Sprinter which was just
too small for even two people.

Although I can appreciate why those who travel and camp at RV places
enjoy it, I agree with Harry on this. A nice hotel is the way to go.
It's not like I haven't tried the RV travel and campsite scene. It just
isn't for me. You are restricted from some roads, you are dependent on
campsites, truck stops and WalMart parking lots and, as I found out,
RV's require as much maintenance and upkeep as a boat.

On this trip to SC, Mrs.E., with the best of intentions, rented a
"Kamping Kabin" for me at a KOA for 14 days that is not too far from
where my son and his family live in SC. I could have stayed at their
house but I like privacy sometimes and with four kids they already had
their hands full getting ready for Christmas.

I got to the KOA and checked into the Kamping Kabin. Very cute. Had a
tiny refrig, microwave, heat and AC. It was on a lake that was
very picturesque. I lasted two nights. The water had sand it it, the
bed was terrible and the TV didn't work. At night my idea of relaxing
isn't sitting around a campfire drinking beer and singing "Home on the
Range".

I checked out after two days and moved to a suite in a Homewood Suites
(Hilton) even closer to where they live. Homewood Suites are designed
for long term stays and had a living room, separate bedroom with a very
comfortable king sized bed, two TV's that worked, a full kitchen with
stove, microwave, dishwasher and full sized refrig. Best of all, they
served a fantastic, free breakfast and dinner every day that were as
good or better than anything I've had at decent restaurants. Christmas
eve was a full course turkey dinner with all the fixin's and even
included wine and beer for those who drink. It's all made from scratch
on site by a staff cook who comes out of the kitchen and mingles with
the customers. It was great.

Best of all, the off season daily rate for the room at Homewood Suites
was less than the Kamping Kabin at the KOA.

To each his own. I find nothing appealing about RV campgrounds for
reasons similar to yours.

Surprised you didn't get an off season rate for the KOA camping cabin.
I wouldn't have wanted to pull my trailer down I95 for a Christmas
visit either.

I wouldn't mind spending some vacation time in Montana, especially after
reading Norman Maclean's wonderfully descriptive writings.

Montana is nice but good accommodations are particularly pricy. You
jump straight from the "Super 8" to $300 a night in the places we
were. There are lots of wild woods camping opportunities tho if that
works for you. Yeah me neither ;-)
There are lots of great hiking trails but you have to look for them.
They are not all that well documented. If you like falling water and
walking on trails by yourself it is worth looking.

Sounds like a great place to take an RV.

Yup there are plenty of opportunities to go off the grid for a night
or two and then get to a full service park to freshen up the RV.



The maid doesn't come into the RV the morning, make up the beds, vacuum,
clean the bathroom, take out the trash? :)

In an RV, doing all that takes only about a half hour. Not worth
hiring a maid for.


Ahh, so there is more time to order breakfast from room service! :)

Who the hell wants to eat in their room?

Have a heart. The bed bugs and roaches have to eat too.

Sounds like you had a very enjoyable Christmas and also got the solitude
you require at times. What the ell was Mrs E thinking? KOA Cabin in the
dead of winter? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Right wing screeds don't add to understanding the opposition to gradual

I agree somewhat. We go to some remote areas with and without the boat so
the camper is great. Other times hotels or B&B plus wife inherited a
timeshare in San Francisco, so we trade that for weeks in some nice places
via RCI. The nice thing about a motor home was we bought one for a 7 week
trip across the USA in the late 1980's. Did not have to worry about
finding an available room, and the kids had room to do hobbies while
traveling. Was a 26' class A and we towed a VW rabbit for getting around
town. Cost wise, was probably the same or a little more than hotels. Did
save on food, and ate healthier.
