  I'm an early to bed, early to rise type person.  I still don't have that
wealthy and wise part down yet.  :)
  I was generally up before 5 or 5.30 and start my day around 6.
  Many was the day I was well on the road by 7.
  Then around 2 or 3 start looking for a place for the night.
  If one gets to a motel around 3, which is generally the earliest to get a
room without reservations, one can generally easily get a room.
  In larger towns and cities I used booking.com to find a reasonably priced
room near where I was and could book it in as little as a few minutes before
check in.
  I like that site since it lists options in price, location, gives a
description of any amenities, etc.
  If I were just driving along around that time and saw some nice little
mom-and-pop place I stopped.  Those folks can use the business.
  So many people drive past them for some name brand motel.

  I've noticed that in life... :)

  I was getting a bit tired with all my trooping around didn't want to
waste a lot time for nothing.

   Yes it was.
