For this trip we have made most hotel reservation only a day or maybe two ahead and so far this has worked really well. So last night I did the same, booted up the powerbook and logged on and did a search. Our original goal had been to get to Grand Junction but soon I stumbled over this hotel which is in Palisade, only 10 miles further on our route. It took us barely a minute to decide that this will be our next stop, even though a bit higher in price than what we had been aiming on overall. Reservation was made within only a couple of minutes and we were set.
The road trip today – 510 miles – was a beautiful drive with wonderful vistas, but all the same the 9 hours were exhausting (especially for me, driving a “stick” car [with manual transmission] as I am mainly used to automatics). Of course I was really looking forward to the hotel, knowing it will be nice.
The address is so odd that Google can’t locate it, but it’s on I-70 exit 42 and there it was, the Wine Country Inn.
Barely checked-in we went for diner to Red Rose Cafe – not cheap but worth the money in a real nice environment. Dinner extended too long though so we missed the pool which closes at 10 pm – in exchange for this loss we treated ourselves to a Tiramisu from the restaurant and are now all comfortably camped out on the hotel bed watching some TV before going to sleep.

The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.
Greed before the Fall.. When companies - such as AT&T - get too greedy, they plant their own seed for their future collapse. It’s pretty disgusting.
