The Hotels Are Booked!

OK, we're getting closer to departure! Today I booked the hotel rooms. We'll be cramped but I like to consider it "cozy". Sleeping 4 to a room makes it less expensive and well ... we've got to remember that this trip is not about our comfort. And we should remember that its only 2 nights. We could be living 18 people in a single wide trailer - all the time. We're blessed.

On the way out we will stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Sioux City, IA. It will be a LONG drive and a LONG day, followed by a short night. The hotel has a complimentary breakfast to get us going in the morning and to save you all food $ on the road. Here's a pic of one of the rooms.

OK, so on the way home I'm allowing for a little more comfort. We'll still be staying 4 to a room but will be in a nicer hotel. We'll be staying at the Hampton Inn in Des Moines.
