HI Rob,

$130 a night will rent you a 1-bedroom seaside beach cottage down here
in Florida. (a nice one)

Is that really what they charge out there for a little Motel 8 room?

No wonder everyone needs thousands of dollars to attend the show.
When I finally make it out there, I will definitely stay in our RV.

Best regards and clear skies,

MikeG
