I had wondered why/how you chose where to stay at night on trips. I think establishments just get tired of towels being stolen so they don't spend much on them. We stayed at a nice hotel once, they had hand towels for towels! There were 2 towels and 3 of us, and I have long hair. We had brought a few towels as well ( that my husband said wouldn't be needed😂)so that saved the day. So glad you stopped at Lamberts! We need to go back again. I'm enjoying your behind the scenes, I know they are more work but I appreciate them. I believe small towns are the backbone of the country. Enjoy exploring, stay safe and GOD bless

One thing I look for in my room is location. If you are facing the HI way how much traffic. Good example is Oakley KS. The motel right off 40 Hiway (I 70) by truck stop is loud. Drive down 40 a mile or so and there is a motel that you don't get all the road noise. Love the rating system.

Another very interesting video John, thank you. It's a bit like watching an 'unplugged' music video, you get to see it... warts and all. I have to ask, do you pronounce the capital of Egypt the same as Cairo, Illinois? we pronounce it 'Kigh-roh' here in the UK. I really did enjoy the Three notch road video that you mentioned, especially the part about the old mill, a shame to see the old place so 'tumbled-down'. Finally, we older folk of the UK are familiar with Claksville, Tennessee, because the band 'The Monkees' had their first hit 'Last train to Clarksville' in 1966 and it was very popular here. Thank you very much John! Oh by-the-way I rate Hotels a little different 1. Cleanliness. 2. Warm water and somewhere to wash up. 3. Price. 4. Breakfast and a decent cup of tea. 5. Sleeping facilities. I am quite used to various showers and baths... even communal for the team as an ex-rugby player, I always take my own towel and soap when staying out for a night. (I would always avoid Hotels when travelling about here in the UK and go for B & B's [Bed and Breakfast, usually the residence of a Land lord or lady and served breakfast before leaving] so much more personal, cheaper and usually better).

I'm a day late and a penny short but I have some ideas for you for your travels. When my Mother and I went to California (1979) we took food and some drinks with us. Like bread and peanut butter, fresh fruit and little cans of fruit drinks like V-8. You talked about stained towels at one place you stayed at, why didn't you ask for some more towels and explain why? Taking your own towel was a good idea. I know you have traveled to more places than I have but these were just suggestions. I liked this trip and I really enjoyed seeing Key West Florida back at Christmas time which I know this video led up to. Happy trails to you and God bless.
@TravelwithaWiseguy5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the suggestion about the towels - usually I don’t notice until I’m about to use the towel so I should check and request as soon as I get there haha. But I’m usually focused on other things 😊 thanks for taking the time to watch! Next Sunday will finish up back down in Key West ☀️
