Hi Everyone. I finally booked and payed for all my tickets to America, mainly for the Tucson shootout. The main problem Is finding accomodation, even with hotels which are priced a bit rich for my liking. Just really looking for cheap motel accomodation, even finding motel listings on the net difficult for the different states/ towns I have booked to visit. My Itinerary Is as follows If anyone In America could help. 13-20 SanFrancisco / 7 nights (arrive on the 10th, pre arranged 3 nights hotel) 20-25 Las Vegas / 5 nights 25-06 Tucson / 11 nights 06-11 Denver / 5 nights 11-16 Nashville / 5 nights 16-19 SanFrancisco / 3 nights 19th return to Perth. Cheap motel accomodation (say $50-$70 a night) and car rental for my stay In Tucson to get to the shootout each day. Links to motels In these different states/ towns would be greatly appreciated so I can pre-book. Thankyou for any help Kind regards Glenn. |

Glenn, these are some to do searches for... Redroof Inn Ramada Inn Best Western Days Inn Comfort Inn Super 8 motel These are a few off the top of my head, anyone else want to throw some in here for him to check on ? Just do a search for some of these and then when you get to the motels web site you can put in the towns and stuff you want and how many nights and check prices. Hope this helps. |

Glen, stayed at the Days inn last year in Tucson, out at Marana, (contairo rd I think) $64.00 per night, and handy to TIMPA (20 min)

I'll check them out thanks Ian, what I've found so far has been considerably more than that. While I remember I will also need another pair of those 3 inch 4-40 titanium pro-links and also some build tips for the big pitts, but I'll worry about that when I get back from the US. PS- are you going this year? |

20-25 Las Vegas / 5 nights Boulder hwy Motel 6 is the cheapest I have found. Nothing is cheap on the weekend. Anywhere on the strip seems to be at least 200 a night. This place used to be cheap. 25-06 Tucson / 11 nights Red Roof is the cheapest and it is ok National chains like Motel 6, Days Inn, Comfort Inn have websites that will give you local prices. |

Oh! Sorry Mick Yes I did have you confused with Ian, I'll wait till I get back from the US to get those bits. The big Pitts Is slowly taking shape, although It really would be handy for a english manual ![]() I don't know what you look like but I may bump Into you there! Take care Glenn |
