Kat, you're almost in TV, lucky you! I'm always looking for pet friendly places to stay. One hotel in Ocala told us it would be $80 extra per pet, and we have 3!! That is a good tip about Super 8s and Best Western motels.

See you in October! Safe trip.

Kathie? Hope to see you soon with your dogs at Doggie Doo Run Run. :bigthumbsup: ;D

Hey Kathie,
So glad the trip is going well.
I know you are excited to arrive but take it slow and please arrive safely.

FYI to all those traveling with pets...Comfort Inn is also pet friendly... only $15.00 extra per night. Stayed with them on my way to New England and will do it again on my return to TV in a couple of weeks.
See you in the square. Wahoo.....

This is really good information as I always travel with 3 pets. I wonder if it applies to every Comfort Inn, Best Western and Super 8s.

I always though the Red Roof Inn was the only consistently pet-friendly motel chain.

Also look into Red Roof Inns.

As I recollect there was no stated extra charge for The Cat when we came down here more than 3 years ago! It's possible that the room for me was more than had I been traveling alone, but I didn't see any evidence of that!

Thanks SWR. I can see that it is important to check into pet policies for motels before starting on a trip. Extra charges can really mount up, especially if they charge for each pet. Next trip, I'll be more organized. (I think I've said that before). ;D

Kathi....Jeet?? I hope so, you need your strength... :bigthumbsup:

Hi All!!!!!!!

Made it to Pensacola this evening.

:hot: :hot: Drove around 530 miles today, and still feel great!! Not too tired. Its amazing what the anticipation can do to your energy level!!

We're pretty sure we'll arrive tomorrow in TV afternoon at the latest. 040 040 040

The puppies are still behaving very well,
My little angels!!!

FYI, I used AAA web site to plan out my travel route, it was extremely accurate and easy to maneuver. It also gives you the pet friendly hotels/motels in each city. An excellent resource. We didn't get lost once and never had a problem with getting a room even late in the evening. Try it, you'll like it.

Yes, SWR, I'm in a Red Roof Inn as we speak, the accommodations are wonderful, clean and very updated, but what I notice is hotel chains aren't necessarily the same or have the same policies in each city. Its good to check as you progress in your travels.

Thanks All, for your well wishes and see ya in TV tomorrow!!
