Last night we spent our final night of the trip in a hotel in Altoona, Iowa. This marked 14 straight nights away from home including visits to 9 different Holiday Inns. But most thankfully, it brought our arrival routine of checking for bed bugs to an end. Each night, Julie and I would pull back the sheets and inspect the mattress looking for itty bitty critters. Fortunately, none were found, but there was a Best Western that we refused to stay.

484 miles until home 🙂
