BOOKIN' IT BLIND: HOTELS BY CB
[BISCUIT COUNTDOWN: 3 DAYS]
[BISCUIT COUNTDOWN: 3 DAYS]
Seeing as we hadn't yet deigned to book a hotel for the majority of our impending trip (see above countdown), a number of curious onlookers - their necks craning to get a glimpse of this train wreck planning process as it unfurls before them - expressed concern that we might not end up in the most...savory...of places, but rather find ourselves carefully reading signs like the above.
Making such a scenario all the more likely was my life's mandate to unearth the best hotel bargain within reason at each stop on our journey. Now, this doesn't always mean slumming it - we're actually staying at a classy Marriot Suites in Tampa (Thanks, Travelzoo!) - but it does mean taking a few calculated risks. Through the miracle of Hotwire, I came across a deal for two nights in or around Birmingham for $34 per. Now, we weren't told in advance where we'd be staying, nor anything more than a very general area detailing the hotel's location. (When he got wind of this, The Big Mak (tm) immediately headed for the nearest Orkin man for the latest in Raid roach-killing technology.) Thankfully, we did not land in the Mile Hi Motel, but rather a trusty Extended Stay America. So, thus completed, our updated itinerary - hotels and all - is as follows:
Sunday, May 14: Houston, TX - Astros vs Rockies (Best Western)
Monday, May 15: Mobile, AL - Bay Bears vs Jacksonville (HoJo!)
Tuesday, May 16: Montgomery, AL - Biscuits vs DiamondJaxx (Drive to Birmingham - Extended Stay America)
Wednesday, May 17: Birmingham, AL - Barons vs Biscuits (Extended Stay America)
Thursday, May 18: Tampa, FL - D-Rays vs White Sox (SpringHill Suites)
Friday, May 19: Tampa, FL - D-Rays vs Marlins (SpringHill Suites)
Saturday, May 20: Tampa, FL - No Game/Late Flight Out (Hobo Style)

Most of those look okay, but HOJo outlet's have seen better days. Most have not been upgraded since Howard Johnson himself played for the mets. So that would be the on eto bring out the can of raid for.
