Soooo...we showed up in Duluth today to find that our hotel rooms were never booked (home team's responsibility to take care of road team) so instead of checking in and relaxing in our hotel rooms we went directly to the field. No big deal. Right when we get there we talk to the Duluth people and they set up rooms for everyone in two separate hotels--one in Duluth, the other in Superior, WI, fifteen minutes outside of Duluth. Whatever...it's only for a night...
Several hours later...
We lose 9-0. That sucks. Time to go to our hotels. We drop off the crew of seven that our sharing a suite in a hotel in Duluth. Next stop? The Days Inn, the hotel we were supposed to be at originally. Apparently the Duluth people were able to secure some rooms for us so we go only to find that those rooms were never secured.
It's currently 11:20 and we just found out that we are going back to Brainerd and then coming back tomorrow for our game. It'd be one thing if it was a hour drive...maybe two...but this is a three-plus hour drive that we will be making back tonight, then again in the morning, and then after the game...
Not convenient to say the least. Maybe we can at least watch a good movie or two...
Anyway, such is life on the road. The Northwoods League has made quality of travel life a top priority...We don't stay in the "Dark Alley Inn" or the "I Wouldn't Walk Within A Mile of This Place Hotel." This gaff is unusual...
Whatever....
