We’ve been away twice in the last 15 months, a weekend with my Dad over the summer and Thanksgiving weekend with my husband’s family.
We thought of taking a weekend getaway for ourselves, and even found a dog-sitter. We wanted to take the train to a nearby city and stay two nights. Now I find that a two-star hotel costs between $300-400 per night out at the airport, and a four-star costs between $500-700 per night, even on discount sites.
This is crazy! Our home is nicer and has much better views than anything we’ll pay a fortune to lay our heads down in for two nights. As far as I’m concerned it’s a big waste of money and I’d rather plan it better and do more research, find a hotel for one night and every activity we’d like to accomplish during our stay.
We could always go somewhere else that doesn’t charge horrendous rates. Dee
