waterfest hotells once again

[gatesj at mailblocks.com (John Gates)]

It was a Super 8, I am sure of it because my wife has one of those 
Super 8 discount cards.  We use them a lot in the winter with her the 
dogsled racing thing and they have always been fine, but these are ones 
that are basically out in the country.

What you're going to find, unfortunately, is that in that area anything 
decent is going to be a little pricey.  Jersey is not cheap.

I think we're prepared for most anything after that Super 8 room, we'll 
just know to bring sheets, blankets, towels, etc.  Though I'm not sure 
my wife would be terribly pleased with a room like last year.  We wound 
up going to Wal-Mart and buying a cheap set of everything last year.

Now, not to throw a screw into the works, but Denny priced Sierra Suites
in Piscataway, and it was pretty expensive. We may try the Motel 6  in
Piscataway. ($121 for two nights, as opposed to $176) The sh**hole 
wasn't
that one, was it?

It'd give me $50 more to spend on shiny yellow stickers and other tuning
items to be found at "the Fest"...
