What do you do for a last minute trip?

We dont usually have them but sometimes to occur.

We found out on Tuesday that we had to be in Atlantic City for Friday AM! Talk about last minute. We had to rearrange out schedules for work and school then we had to locate a place to stay, it was an overnight stay since we needed to be there for 8AM. Atlantic City is a 3 hour drive for us so we had no choice to drive down Thursday night and stay over.

Lucky for us the event blocked out rooms for us. We were able to get a room at the Trump Plaza for $45 for the one night. The hotel was nice but the beds were really small. There were 3 of us and two beds, I dont think they were full size beds. We couldnt move at all otherwise we would have kicked each other around. The room had a view of the ocean but it was dark when we arrived and dark when we checked out so we didnt see much.

Our event was at the Atlantic City Convention center... that place charges $15 to park so we walked over from the hotel. It was crazy since that day was VERY windy! We were freezing but saved money. Parking at the hotel was $5 for the day so we just left our car there from the day before.

We have another trip up to Binghamton NY coming up. We have to be there for 8AM so this another last minute trip we will be booking a hotel room. The drive is about 2 hours but it would mean I would have to leave my area at around 5:30am. Thats just too early for me lol.

Then again, I could save the $50 or so bucks and just stop being lazy! But what if it snows? That would cause delays.

Oh Im not great at last minute trips.
