Al and I just returned from Cookeville TN, used $123.00 of gas in the Escort. If we had taken Tana it would have been 5 times that. We had to stay in motel rooms, cost of $325.00. Campgrounds?? go 4 nights at $35.00 each. We basically ate out every meal and not all of them were at cheap places, so, we figure we dropped a BUNCH more there than if we had Tana along for the ride. and we sure did not eat as healthy as we would have with our own food in Tana. The room in Cookeville for 2 nights, was awful. They actually gave us a small discount after I told the clerk that there were fleas in the room and that they did not come from my dogs. SIGHHHH

Al figures we spent about $600. for 4 nights and almost 5 days. That includes food. If we had taken Tana it would have been closer to $900.

Not sure what this says, cept that living is very very expensive these days.

One thing we did was travel a lot of back roads all the way down and all the way back. Some we never would have taken Tana on. NOOOOO way. We had a great time. Priceless, as they say! We surprised our friend, 3 couples showed up at their door, unannounced. It was worth every penney to see their faces. Hubby was literally in shock for hours! HAHA. Yep, good priceless fun, just lightened the pocket book about 600 worth!
