Well, the Father and Ham have arrived safely in Wilmington, meeting up with the lovely GolfCart. I made a wrong turn coming into town and wound up at the beach... Wasn't so fun in the dark rain, with a schizo dog in the way back who just couldn't take it in the car anymore. (Uh oh, sounds like parenthood!)
Anyways, we're hanging out at the Days Inn now (See insert)... But it is not all it was cracked up to be. The website advertised a nice queen size bed, minifridge, microwave, and cheap dog lodging. Sounded like a little piece of remote hotel heaven. So we booked it, and saved money with the cool internet sales!
Well, I am not sure what we thought we were getting ourselves into. Maybe we were tainted by all the nicer establishments we have stayed in before (coincidentally on other peoples'/corporations' dimes).
I drove into the parking lot and was greeted by "locals" (I think), who were hanging out on the second floor, sitting on coolers and drinking cold beers. Hmmm nice.
As for the other amenities:
Queen bed: About as comfortable as a hospital bed, but much much cheaper. Interesting for the fact that every time you sit on it or move around, it makes loud farting sounds. Nice (but maybe I can use this one to my advantage...)
The minifridge: Small. Didn't seem very cold. Will have to check and see if the Coke Zeros are cool in the AM. TBD.
The microwave: Interestingly doesn't work. (go figure) Makes a lot of whirring noises... and spins the warming plate really, really fast. I mean really fast. Kind of puts you into a trance watching it spill. But, I think this is actually detrimental- it must cool as it warms. Nice.
Bathroom: small. Standing up to use the toilet, I think I was in the foyer. So I shimmied a little, and wound up in the shower.... Hmmm. Nice.
Total: not looking good.
The GolfCart wants to spend tomorrow night in the Green Machine, but we have to stay here- it's already paid.
DAMNED THE INTERNET SALE!!!!
Stay Tuned.
