Done

Day 13

After a very nice day of driving, our trip took a turn for the worse around 4:30.  At 8:30, nearly 12 hours after we left MDI, we stopped for the night.  We are in a disgusting roadside motel that smells like funeral home and stinky feet.  We are in the Berkshires, too, which means we are paying way more than we should to stay in a complete dump.  Everything I wanted to avoid by planning ahead and booking in advance went out the window when it was decided that we would roll the dice and find a place on the road since we made it to our planned destination  of Worcester by 3:30.  Unfortunately, the next large town of Springfield, Ma had all kinds of sports tournaments nearby and every single hotel in a 20 mile radius was booked. Every. Single. One. I would know because I called them all. And we drove around the area for two hours.

After dinner at Panera, we got back on I90 and drove to the first town with lodging options.  Will pulled into the first place with a vacancy sign.  Morning cannot come soon enough.

Haiku of the day:

Pleasant day turned yuck
You suck Springfield, Mass. You suck
Sunshine Inn? No thanks.
