Day one

First day found us driving from Alvord to Van Horn Texas. Big deal eh...well consider that was a distance of 493 miles. Now compare that with Boston Ma to Washington DC, 450 miles. We have 130 miles or so to even leave the state, same distance in NE we would have crossed through multiple states.

 We like to experience historic hotels when possible, get away from the cookie cutter chain stuff. Sure the rooms might be smaller but how much room do you really need? In Van Horn we got to experience the restored 1930'era El Capitan. Wonderful. Super friendly staff, clean rooms and free WiFi. Find it here. Others we have enjoyed are Strate, and Commodore.
