Day 48: Las Vegas, NV to Green River, UT

The most significant thing about this day was the change in temperature. When I left Vegas it was in the 80s and when I arrived in Green River it was in the 30s! Unacceptable. I kinda want to turn around.

I had big plans to wake up early, hit the road, and get all the way to Denver tonight, but that didn't so much happen. I went back to sleep after Robbe left for work and didn't wake up til 11:00. Oops.

I drove for 9 hours today. Ugh. Fortunately it was beautiful (in Utah, at least). When I decided I was done for the day, I looked up a hotel room on the Kayak app on my iPhone. I made reservations at a place and was trying to figure out how to get there. I was having trouble with my GPS and maps, so I just called the hotel to get directions. It turns out that Kayak had the wrong GPS location for me and the hotel I booked was an hour and a half away in the wrong direction. Fortunately the costumer service rep was very nice and helpful and refunded my money.

So then I just drove to a hotel at the next exit and checked in. I asked the guy at the front desk if I needed a password to get online and he notified me that they didn't have Wi-fi. Refund number two.

Finally I went to a third place, checked to make sure they had Wi-fi, and booked room number three. When I got to my room, I immediately noticed that it reeked of smoke. Although it was a non-smoking room, it was next to and across the hall from smoking rooms. I didn't want another experience like the one at Buffalo Bill's Antlers Inn, so I called the front desk and had them change my room. The new room was next to the laundry room, so it smelled great!
