Hey Guys:
Just an FYI. The Kentucky Derby must be May 5th because I can't get into a "nicer" hotel in the Louisville or Lexington area for Thursday night, May 3rd. I want to get at least 1/2 way to enjoy more daylight/sunlight top-down driving and make the trip a little easier and more enjoyable for the Wife.
Standard type hotels are requesting a paid-in-full rate with no cancellation 60 days prior.
Maybe I'll need to stop in Cincinnati that night.
Regardless, I expect a lot of cars on the road that weekend. So, people coming from my area, might want to re-think their travel plans, and plan accordingly for travel time & accommodations.
Can't wait!
