Wheeling, West Virginia

We left NYC today at noon, where there was a snowstorm... and we got to Wheeling, West Virginia, a little before 9 pm this evening. We stopped for bathroom breaks and some food... but it was still quite the journey. We hit some interesting weather, as well... it got very foggy at times and if I had driven I would have stopped, but fortunately Stephen somehow enjoys driving in torrential weather.

So, we got here and quite the incident with Michelle at the front desk who told us that our confirmation was incorrect... but as we all know the customer is always right, especially when they have a confirmation printed out with them. However, she refused to believe this, and when she did check it the computer told her that our group had 2 doubles and 2 singles, leaving me and Alesia in a Single bed tonight... We're managing 'cause we're cool like that, and in fact having a blast, but we're pissed. Tomorrow we WILL be getting a discount if not the room for free. We refuse to pay full price for this. Ridiculous!

We decided to stay in the room and order Domino's instead of going out to get food, and boy was that a good choice! However, people in Wheeling, WV are a bit slow... Aside from Michelle, the delivery guy brought us the pizza and forgot the receipt. Fortunately, I had 2 bucks to tip him with, but we paid on a credit card so really, he should've had a receipt for Alesia to sign. Instead he had her sign the sticker that said what we ordered. It was silly. Well, we ate this deliciousness. Leftovers are still sitting beside us on the bed. And, we're watching the Olympics- Men's Figure Skating. What's with the costumes? Some people go crazy! And then the ones with normal looking outfits, don't do well... I don't know what it is but Alesia said it best, "I just can't get behind this."
Just now, also, there was a sudden noise and Alesia and I looked up and the person next door is definitely taking a shower as we speak, because we can hear the water as if it's in this room in front of this... or like in our bathroom. Crazy. Super 8... more like Pooper 8!

From West Virginia we leave you with this:
