Several of you followed our “quality” travel tips from our trip to Orlando last January.  Well, just to prove that not only do we possess a lack of talent in golf, we also have a definite lack of talent in travel!  This time, we stepped up to the prestigious Super 8 motel in Manning, SC.  This, unfortunately, was a step up from our Red Roof Inn nightmare in NC in February.  Let me try to explain our accomodations.  My room, number 225, is probably the place I’m going to die.  Be sure to watch COPS Saturday on FOX ’cause I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be on it!  You won’t recognize me, but I’ll be the bloody corpse under the sheet.  I am wearing a LOFT Tee shirt to bed in order to market to the crew at the morgue.  Yup, I’m always working.  We pulled into this beautiful motel exhausted from a more than 800 mile drive, just wanting to sleep.  Once I settled into the creaky, uncomfortable bed for some well deserved shut-eye, I couldn’t help but hear a sound I haven’t heard in months in CT, crickets.  For a moment I thought that was cool, but then realized they were way too loud.  I assumed the window might’ve been cracked open so I pushed the “drapes” to the side to find a window so warped it can’t be locked and any animal smaller than a pit bull could easily crawl in!  Thank God it’s on the second floor!  Just so you all don’t think I’m exaggerating, I am attaching a photo of the window (just in case you forget to TIVO cops).  On the slim chance that I live to see morning, I swear, yup, swear, I will NEVER ever sleep in a cheap motel again!  If I don’t make it ’till morning, please order LOFT GEAR has we have several staff members counting on their checks to clear, and my wife will have a funeral to pay for!  On the small chance I live, I will update with more quality travel tips from the road. 

See, we just can’t make this stuff up!
