Brien: I have really specific memories of prepping for a cross-country road trip in 1993. Went to AAA for travelers checks and a TripTik (basically paying someone else to print out slightly more detailed MapQuest directions for you). We made zero hotel reservations along the way - just stopped when tired

Let's explain travelers checks to the kids

The idea of staying at whatever random hotel was in whatever random town you happened to pass through at a point when it seemed like a good idea to stop is so wild to me today.

Just go with it - is no longer the default position

It gives me anxiety just thinking about it. What if the reviews are shitty? What if there's a better hotel with a cheaper rate just across the street?
