Vacation Day 10 – Cincinnati, OH to New Stanton, PA

Dallas| August 18, 2008 9:52 pm

We started Monday with a trip to SportTour in Cincinnati to pick up some luggage for my bike, and then spent the rest of the day traveling.

We entered Pensylvania in the early afternoon…  I was amazed at the drivers here…  At every ramp onto the interstate, we found people stopped, waiting for a large break in the traffic to get onto the interstate.  People in PA do NOT know how to merge!  They come up the ramps at 30 mph, onto a freeway where the traffic is flying along at 65+ mph, and then slam on their brakes, coming to a complete stop…

Then, to make matters worse, we ended up staying in the worst hotel of the trip…  A Days Inn at New Stanton, PA…  The room was dirty, the floors were sticky, the towels were dirty, and there was mold on the shower curtain…  The free “Hot Breakfast with Sausage and Eggs” turned out to be cold sausage and egg patties… and a microwave.  The parking lot was a mess…  It looked like the back alley behind a night club, if you can imagine what that means.  Anyways, after this experience, we won’t be staying at this “4 star” AAA approved Days Inn ever again… and probably not at ANY Days Inn for that matter.
