For folks like you and me, it would never occur to us that we might, when we hit the road, lay our heads down in a five-star hotel. When we make the decision about the details of a sojourn, we fall back to what we learned early on: when you travel, entertain yourselves, and do it cheaply. Vacationing for us means sightseeing, hiking, and, if we get desperate, see what movies are playing in the area; nothing that’s going to either wow us or break us. Staying in budgeting lodging means that we won’t be thinking room service (especially on a business trip), even though as kids, we loved such hotel amenities as the swimming pool.
