Day 21 Another Day of Driving

We got up to the sound of pouring down rain. We got dressed and headed out on the road at 9am. We finished driving through Ohio and into Indiana where we stopped for lunch and the girls actually ate for the first time in days. After they ate they seemed to feel 100% better which was awesome! After lunch we continued driving through Indiana and Illinois into Iowa where we are staying for the night. We had to drive through all kids of crazy weather today to include rain, snow, hail, wind and near flooded roads. The parts of Illinois and Iowa that we have drove through were flooded like crazy I wish I could post the pictures that I took but will have to wait till I get a new card reader.   I have been booking our hotels off from Travelocity when we close to our goal for the day and today Travelocity let me down. Our plan was to stay in Des Moines, Iowa so I did a hotel search for Des Moines and the Best Western popped up at 18.97 miles away so that was perfect then I checked the reviews and amenities to see if it is where we wanted to stay. Everything looked great so I went ahead and booked it. Once I got the confirmation I put the address in the GPS and was shocked when it dropped our arrival time down by about 1 1/2 hours so I pulled up a map and found out that the hotel was way out of our way and no where close to Des Moines so I called Travelocity to cancel our reservation and explained the problem to them and told them that they need to fix the location distance on their website and I was told that it was basically my problem and that they couldn't cancel it because it was for today. I asked if I could call the hotel and cancel and they said no because I booked through Travelocity. Lets just say I was pissed. So we bit the bullet and went out of our way since the hotel was already paid for and came to Best Western. We got our room and brought everything in and across the parking lot was a Pizza Hut so we went there for dinner came back and went in the pool and the hot tub before coming back to the room to settle in for the night.  Tomorrow will be another day of driving in hopes of making it to South Dakota to Mount Rushmore for the night.
