I travel a lot, off and on. I drive everywhere, and I've found it's cheaper just to buy a used van, throw a mattress in the back, install a five gallon paint can lined with a trash bag (with a lid) as an emergency toilet, and use that. You can shower and shave at local truck stops or trial visits to local gyms or YMCA's.

I camped in downtown San Francisco for a couple of weeks, and the cost was what it took to feed my meter. The hardest part was finding the parking spot. Cheapest stay in San Fran EVER!

>Be happy. Our hotels, even the mediocre ones, are light years ahead of European hotels, and cheaper too.

Yeah, but to find that I have to pay $700-$800/night for rooms that I used to get for $150-$200/night really stinks.

Wow. That has to be in NYC. Apparently, their European business is thriving....hence the high hotel occupany figures and the major increase in room rates. Nonetheless, $700-800 is disgusting.
