Accommodation Booked!

All the accommodation is now booked!  There might be some fine tuning to do over the next few months but the beauty of Booking.com is that nothing has been paid out, all the reservations are "free cancellation" (up to 24 hours before arrival) and amendments can be made at any time on line.  I'm amazed that even this far out, some locations have hotels that are sold out already.  I have a feeling that some, especially smaller hotels, just don't accept bookings that far in advance, so I will keep an eye on some of the ones we wanted but couldn't get in to.  I've got some pretty good deals as well (I think) - for example, 2 nights in Las Vegas, just off The Strip, for less than £70!  And, in case you're wondering, it is not a "dive" - it looks nice, has a pool, free parking, free breakfast and has good ratings and reviews.  We'll see.

The only problem is - what do I do now?  Flights are booked, Harley is booked, Mustang is booked, hotels are booked, route is pretty much planned......  there's still 9 months to go!!  However, we will be gradually moving out to France over the summer next year, I have some courses still to do to prepare for life in "Civvy Street", we have next summer's season at Razay to prepare for, the house here to pack up, etc, etc.

Can't wait!!! :)

    1. Thanks - I'll try that. Do you think it'll work in Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon?!
