My roadtrip is coming to an end. I'm staying the night in Lexington, KY on the way to DC. Here's the strange part: my hotel in Sheldon, IA ($44.23 per night) had free high-speed WiFi and my hotel tonight, a MARRIOTT ($189.29 per night) DIDN'T! I explained to the front desk girl that it's the year 2006 and if a roach-motel in IOWA can provide free WiFi than so should a MARRIOTT in a decent-sized city. I told her that's a deal-breaker for me so she ended up throwing it in for free. 10-bucks isn't a big deal but after my Iowa experience it's now a "principle" thing.
Great trip so far. Horseback riding with my uncle Bill in South Dakota. An awesome BBQ with old friends in Jefferson City, and a great day with my family.
I'll post some great pics when I get back to DC!
