Best Western Coach House Inn Springfield

... 66.78. We spent over an hour in the pool and hot tub last night. We were the only ones there. The room is big, clean and well appointed. It is our best deal yet.<br><br>Today is a beautiful day, we have full sun. Breakfast at the motel was waffles, fresh - we made them ourselves in the lobby.<br><br>Tonight we will camp. We have already found a campground near Tulsa, OK. that we think we will like and maybe even stay a couple of nights.<br>

... found that they had changed the tip amount on the debit card slip from $4 to $40 dollars. This also caused 2 overdrafts to occur later (hey, it was right before payday!). Anyway, they refuse to admit their error. DON'T GO THERE! After lunch, we went to the Lincoln Presidential Museum. It was actually sorta neat. We saw two 3-D movies and many artifacts from his life and times (including a bloody pair of gloves he was wearing the night he was assassinated).

... kopissa istuva täti antoi pienen pahvilapun, jolla sai alennusta tiemaksusta varsinaisessa maksukopissa, joka tuli yleensä muutaman mailin päässä. Hieman totuttelua vaativa systeemi siis. Jatkuvasti tietä käyttävät autoilijat käyttävät yleensä PikePass-pikapassia eikä käteistä, mikä säästää aikaa.<br><br><br>Saavuimme Missourin osavaltioon tietä 44 pitkin Joplin-nimisen kaupungin kohdalla. Maisemat alkoivat muistuttamaan yhä enemmän Etelä-Suomea - hieman ...

... months out of the year -- as well as never letting the tank get below half full. (Since I created Rule #2, I've come back to edit and add a formal Marijka's Rules of Travel #1: never let your tank get below half full.) So here's what I'm carrying, and it all fits in half of a collapsible trunk box. Note that my super-duper heavy flashlight is in the front seat in case I have to conk ...

... this, which is focused on doing good for people while simultaneously making a living themselves. http://www.globalfayre.com I also had a nice chat with Terry at Springfield Hot Glass Shop, but I missed seeing him blow glass as the fire hadn't gotten hot enough yet. They also give classes but, considering the damage I do to myself with an iron or oven, blowing hot glass is probably just asking too ...

On the drive back to Kansas City, Kelly and I agreed that Springfield doesn't make for a very entertaining road trip. There are some restaurants that I miss and crave, but I won't spend two days there again.<br>I forgot to mention that while driving sround ...

... she told me - "That will be $2.80." OMG!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? No refund for the totally wrong, $4 mocha AND you're charging me for the coffee? Seriously, I thought about letting the glass fall to the floor. The name of this cafe was Rendezvous Coffee. Looking for it online, I can not find it, so it may have changed since this visit, and good riddance. What a nightmare. <br><br>Our next stop was the new movie theater, Hollywood Theaters ...

... Jennifer had her appendix removed and was in recovery by 1PM. The plan was to have her discharged by 5:30 but her pain was still quite bad so they asked her if she wanted to stay another night. She stayed in the Children's Ward since she is still under 16. The care there was also amazing. I was able to stay overnight with her. She ...

... cities, the more important the old route 66 turns to be for the locals. Small towns are flooded with route 66 memorabilia and every merchant tries to find a way to exploit the classical brand. But why not? This is the theme here and fits very well with the surroundings. <br>

<br><br>I was always intrigued with the stories of Magellan who first circumnavigated the world in 1522. It took him just over 3 years to accomplish this. In 1580 Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the world in 2 years and 10 months. Now the astronauts go round the world in just 90 minutes. I always wanted to go round the world but I wanted to do it differently. I wanted to go round the world using the existing railways as much as I could. In this way I ...
