This is our idea of glamping

(Broadmoor suite in Colorado Springs)

That would be mine, too. 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!

There's nothing better than sleeping on a boat. 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.

I agree, no ringing phones either.

My friend has a 30' Luhrs. The couch is famous. Sleep coming back from
tuna trips or long days fishing. While a roast cooks in the oven.
