Motel 6 and High-Speed Internet

During this big driving trip I'm planning, I want to keep up a daily blog with pictures. This requires high-speed Internet. When I'm at Burning Man, I'm pretty sure I won't have that, but I can write the blogs there, and them post them afterwards.

Anyway, one of the problems I have is that planning a five-week trip is very time-consuming. Lately I've used up a lot of time looking for motels in popular areas that have rooms available and high-speed Internet. Most of the places, I'm simply finding Motel 6's along the way. I'm not looking for reservations. Instead, if there aren't rooms available, I'll either drive to the next Motel 6, or deal with what's available. I want to have high-speed Internet in order to keep up the blog every day, but that's not always available.

For instance, there's no Motel 6 in Sedona, and there's none at Bryce Canyon either. The last time I was at Bryce Canyon was 10 years ago. There I was able to get reservations at Ruby's Inn (at exactly the same week of the year), the Best Western, which is the only hotel actually inside the park. This time, it was booked, and to get high-speed internet access, I had to book a place much further away.

Last time I was at Bryce, Heidi (my wife) and I ran into a lot of Germans. And when we got back to the hotel, Baywatch was on the T.V. I wonder if I'll see a lot of Germans this time.

Anyway, the point is this is further proof that Germans love David Hasselhoff.
