A lovely traveling day, heading North. We drove 450 miles in the pouring rain in the car, good thing I just installed new windshield wipers.
We stopped at a Hampton Inn in Virginia for the night. When I traveled for work, I often stayed in Hampton Inns, I found them to be really good.
This hotel came with a plus, a big plus. A great indoor pool.
And a hot tub!
That hot water and those bubble jets sure erased the miles from our bodies. It was hard to leave. Wish there was a way to take it with us…
A good inspection of the bed found no bed bugs. I count that as a bonus. :c)

I wish I could stop worrying about bedbugs while traveling. When we are hoteling it, I am always a bit on edge because I know it is a real problem in some areas. Glad you had no problems this time.
ReplyDeleteAck - bedbugs are one thing I have a big fear of. Never seen one but you just never know where they might be hiding. If you have itchy spots on your legs when you wake up, just ignore them. I'm sure it's nothing...
ReplyDeleteCar and motel/hotel is how we travel now. Never any bedbugs yet. I am always leery of hot tubs, but then I remember what I have done in them in the past:))
ReplyDeleteEntirely relevant is the cost.
ReplyDeleteWonder if the Hampton Inns originated in Hampton VA. It's been long since I have stayed in a hotel I had forgotten about bedbugs but not about hot tubs. Glad you had one and not the other.
ReplyDeleteStay alert! I'm so bad that I won't take in my suitcase, just a bag with what I need. Then I put it on a coat rack. I know, nuts, huh?
ReplyDeletenice looking pool and hot tub after a long travel day! enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat is why I love the nicer RV parks. Give me a warm pool and a hot tub and I'm a happy camper! Worth the price as far as I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteHave stayed in our share of hotels ... motels ... no bedbugs ... and hope we never have a close encounter with them any time in the future either!
ReplyDeleteHampton Inns used to be our choice too. Enjoy the hot tub. . . and the waffles tomorrow morning!
ReplyDeletethat hot tub looks nice after such a long drive.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a nice spot to relax and recover so you are ready to enjoy all those grand-daughters;o))
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a hot tub. Hope the rain lets up for the rest of your trip. Travel safe.
ReplyDeleteThat hot tub sure does look inviting. Just think of all the friends you'd have if you did take it with you!! A clean room and a soft bed .... perfect for a good night's rest. Enjoy the rest of the journey.
ReplyDeleteI guess that hot tub is a pretty good reason for staying in a hotel for the night. It sure helps take away the muscle aches of driving all day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeri - you'd have more friends than you'd know what to do with if you took that hot tub with you. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteNorthbound....don't you know it's winter!!! For a good reason though, so that's ok. Enjoy those Hot Tubs, there few and far between!!
ReplyDeleteWe do miss our hot tub. It would be wonderful to have one in our motorhomes!
