[Shotimes] convention: LaQuinta or Marriott?

[Donald Mallinson]

Seen plenty of Harley and Honda events where they stay in 
hotels.  As with any group, there are those that want to 
camp to either save money, or they consider it fun.

I camped with my family till I was in college, and I camped 
a little after that and when our kids were young.  Now I 
like having a dry, quiet hotel/motel, and all our camping 
gear is collecting dust.  At some point a cot or sleeping 
bag on the ground looses its appeal.
