It is suggested that you make your reservations early, and make them through AAA. If you are a member, you can share a room with some one to cut down on cost. I have tried to keep us in decent motels with reasonable prices. If anyone who wishes to go on this trip has any better ideas on motels; I'm open for suggestions until the 15th of July. After that, the schedule is set in stone.
