Sometimes travel itineraries don't need to be arranged perfectly, so when I drove in the United States and Canada in 2012, I adhered to this idea. Only the approximate destination attractions are planned, and the time is not forced to arrive at what time. There is no arrangement or reservation for the most important accommodation. After all, our time is more flexible and free, and we are worried that booking the room first will cause pressure. It is also possible that the city cannot be reached. Then trouble!


Another reason is that the United States is different from Asia. The difference is that they are used to traveling by car, and it is actually quite easy to find accommodation on the road, whether it is a Hotel or a Motel. The price of the Motel will be much cheaper, but people who often watch American movies and TV series may be very worried about the safety of the Motel. (Airbnb was still in its infancy that year and wasn't very popular!)


The three of us were looking for a Motel, but we didn't find it. It is also very helpless! Since it was a fellow Korean who was in charge of finding accommodation at the time, after all, I didn't have time to search while driving. And our requirements are not high, basically it is clean and can sleep, and most of the time is in the car. Accommodation is really just a sleep!


The function of Google Maps was not so perfect back then, and the Internet access fee in the United States was relatively high, and the mobile phone network would not be turned on at all times. Moreover, the signal strength of telecom operators in each region is different, and infrastructure construction is still mainly around cities. The first night of our road trip was in Syracuse, NY, and we found it from an advertising brochure. Isn't it weird and funny? The impression is that we got it at the gas station, and found that there is advertising information of Syracuse on it, including the accommodation hotel. Just call a family and book a room that night, hahaha.

The first experience and night at the Best Western Hotel in Syracuse was done in a random inquiry. It also relieved our anxiety. At first, we were worried that we would not have a place to live and would be living on the street and sleeping in the car. In fact, it was easy and simple at all, and there were even a bunch of empty rooms in the hotel. Not even a few cars in the parking lot.



Best Western Hotel is a chain of hotels with different classes. We stayed at the best value for money, but even so. The room is also very clean, there is no smoke or discomfort. The only thing is that there are no shops or restaurants around. This kind of experience of not knowing where to stay at night is quite interesting. But sometimes you need a big heart, and try not to be alone.
