We stopped at LaQuinta in Perry, Georgia and we just missed the Fair so the area was just catching their breathes, which meant rooms weren’t ready by check in time, so we settled for 2 Queens instead of our usual King. Very friendly customer service, the room was clean, spacious and the beds were outstanding.
More miles today and through, more like around, 3 major cities. Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Nashville, the worse being Nashville, but we made it through and then had a restful evening with our next stay.
Best Western Plus in Clarksville, Tennessee Great location right off the freeway but far enough away that you don’t hear the traffic noise. Very friendly staff, but being in Tennessee, the friendliest State, it’s almost expected. Room was spacious, clean, and such a perfectly comfortable bed. The only issue was the refrigerator made an awful whining noise periodically throughout the night.
Our third travel day got us to our event location in St Louis at Casino Queen in East St Louis, IL. The hotel is a bit dated and definitely needs some remodel but it’s still a good location for our needs. We had a shower breakdown at no o’clock in the morning when we got in from a VERY long day of work and their maintenance guy was there and replaced the broken part almost immediately.
This event was a Super Regional which meant one full day of setup, and two long days of working the event.
It was a difficult one, due to our helper situation, if we could change one thing about this entire route we do annually it would absolutely be the pool of helpers they get for us. This year we made a pact with ourselves that because we have been doing this now for 5 years and every year they promise change and it doesn’t happen, so we were going to speak up which we have been doing. Not by complaining, but after every event we always include our notes about event, well this year those notes are facts, not the rose colored glasses as in the past, so now it’s been brought to our attention that we are being “salty”…SO BE IT!

It’s crazy to think if anyone continues doing the same things over and over but expects a different result is just ludicrous, so we are changing what we do so then possibly our results will be different.
