Hotel confusion
Since we had retired early, I had thought we would waken early, but we slept until 7. After breakfast we set out for Memphis. We had a nice drive, stopping for lunch at a KFC in Jackson, MS. We had put the address of the La Quinta where we had reservations—I thought. As it developed, I learned I had entered the wrong address. We arrived at a La Quinta but the wrong one. The desk clerk gave me directions but they were flawed. She said to go to Germantown but must have meant Germantown Rd. When we ended up in Germantown, I went to a Kroger store to look up the address but didn’t find it in the yellow pages. As a blessing, the woman at the service desk lived in the general area we were seeking and told me how to get there but not to the hotel. We drove on Germantown Road for a while but finally stopped at a Baptist Church, got on the computer, found the correct address through looking at the confirmation email, and drove to the hotel. We checked in and walked across the street to a Texas Roadhouse and shared a meal. This La Quinta opened last August and is very up scale. We had a 20X16 room with a king bed and a love seat. The one disadvantage was that we could not put our frozen Cajun food into a freezer, so we had to use ice cubes in a plastic bag. We were able to freeze our plastic ice packs. We will have another long drive tomorrow, and I hope I am as far off on the travel time as I have been. We arrived before 7 despite all the mistakes in our travel.
