My return trip is proving a bit more demanding to plan. Because we'll be visiting the Georgia Aquarium on the way out, and we want a minimum of 2 hours to absorb the exhibits, we won't be on the road until at least noon. That means I can't realistically plan for more than 8 hours of driving thereafter, which puts us around Brinkley, Arkansas. There is no Motel 6 within a reasonable radius of said town, so I've got to research hotels that aren't on-line as the ones that are over extend my budget.
We also then find ourselves needing to plot the rest of the segments as close to 9 hours as possible, and the second destination lies in Jericho, Texas. Again, no Motel 6 is within a reasonable radius. We either end up not travelling far enough or going too far.
Does anyone out there know of any reasonable, affordable hotels in those areas? Obviously I'm not looking for Sheraton quality - just a clean room with everything working, no bugs, and something safe, i.e. no prostitution, drug use, gangs...
And on that route, between Brinkley and Jericho, does anyone know of an engaging activity that young children would enjoy close to the 40?
