Hotels
We'd forgotten to make a hotel reservation, so Teri asked me to book a hotel from the car with my phone. Poughkeepsie NY, she said. So I called up Holiday Inn Express and booked us a room for the night.
We were tired and hungry when we took the exit for Poughkeepsie. The Holiday Inn was right there, though. I walked into the lobby and said "I have a reservation."
"Are you sure you're in the right hotel?" the girl behind the counter asked.
Our reservation was at the Holiday Inn Express. This was a Holiday Inn, no Express. The Express was a few blocks away.
We drove there, and I walked in the lobby.
"I have a reservation...I hope."
The girl looked dubious. After she made a quick phone call, she said, "Your reservations are for Poughkeepsie?".
I nodded.
"This is Fishkill."
Poughkeepsie, it turned out, was a thirty-minute drive farther away from the highway. But we finally got there, and were able to check in. Whew!
