RV'ing just has no appeal to me...driving long distances on the interstates or worse roads, towing a motel room, and setting up where you are depending upon nothing more than a boat toilet, A/C that depends upon the vagaries of a campsite, loud and sometimes drunk near neighbors, little kids running amok, et cetera. That Broadmoor place was a bit upscale for us too but we got a great deal because there is a professional courtesy among country club types. My wife's F&B manager knows the Broadmoor guy. We paid for the cheapest room in the house and got the nicest suite. We still get suite when we get a hotel most of the time but we really like renting houses. |

We rented a condo this past summer at Hilton Head...it was better than sleeping on a boat! Recently zipped up to Baltimore for a game and stayed the night at the Baltimore Hilton, which literally is across the street from the ball park. Pretty decent hotel and, of course, Baltimore is chock full of very good restaurants. $25 to park overnight - crikey! ![]() |

The Navigator had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on and the gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) rocking was a natural sleeping pill. |

Sleep coming back from tuna trips or long days fishing. While a roast cooks in the oven. |
