You are very brave for having stayed at that motel. I'm too much of a germ-a-phobe to stay at those places!! This is funny and sad all at the same time.

It's important to experience the bad I think. Like NYC, the boring part is clean, contrived, soulless Manhattan. The best places are the real places, even if they are sad, because if you look really hard, they are beautiful in a meaningful way. Of course, I love tacky retro decor, condemned buildings, obsessive behaviors and townies, so to me, this Mesquite sounds a ton more captivating than Disneyland. Oh and about that motel room…my mom used to manage a Best Western and recommends bringing your own sheets and to touch the bedspread only to get it away from your bed :(.

Disneyland does leave little room for "exploration", but it's still the happiest place on earth. @braine- Ummm, I think you missed the point of the post… but man, pancakes do sound really good right now…
