Loose Laces

About Best Western motel. We booked our room two weeks before our trip to Chattanooga, asking for ground floor accommodations. We arrived at the motel one and one-half hours before scheduled check-in time. No ground floor rooms to be had; they were rented on a first come first served basis. Stair climbing is difficult for Carolyn, and extremely painful for me, but I had 15 of them to negotiate.

Sunday morning when we got out of bed, the room was crawling with tiny black ants. A scrap of food tossed in a trash can had brought an onslaught.

One good thing though, the bed was big and comfortable.
