A Note from Ken

A ride such as the one we've been on for the last month translates into a LOT of hotel stays. We have had some very good AND bad experiences (don't even ask me about the Best Western in Grants Pass, Oregon...I wouldn't stay there again if the gave me the deed to the place!)

Last night we stopped in to the Comfort Suites in Olive Branch, Mississippi. This particular stay turned into our most enjoyable off all! We were greeted by Yolanda and immediately knew we had a winner! She was courteous and extremely friendly. We had been riding in hot, stick weather all day and Yolanda provide us with a nice little "goody bag" consisting of ICE COLD water, cookies and mint. What a nice touch!!! Our brother Jerry, who is always the jokester, discovered that he had finally met his match. When he asked for the Senior rate, she promptly stated that she would need to see proof (she was kidding, of course)! For the first time in a very long while, Jerry was speechless. After a brief time, Yolanda admitted that she was kidding and everyone had a good laugh.

Our suite was great, and the pool was clean and refreshing (right up till the storm rolled in)! During our stay, we not only met Yolanda but other members of the staff as well. Michelle and Barbara were at the desk the following morning to insure that breakfast was hot and fresh.

If ever in this area, we recommend a stay at Comfort Suites in Olive Branch, Mississippi!

P.S. To Michelle and Barbara...I forgot to get a pic of you two before leaving. If you will send one, I will post it here.
