I'm debating on staying in a hotel on the way down to sleep in a little or stopping at a hotel on the way home to sleep and shower. The first year I went, we did neither and the 11 hour drive home was terrible. Just the fact that you're leaving Roo and heading back to reality sucks but also the fact you don't really have too much sleep and are smelling pretty funky by then. Last year we left Sunday night drove a little over an hour to a hotel and stayed there, showered, got some much needed sleep checked out a tour of the Cadillac plant and headed home. I'm debating on heading down a day early and staying somewhere close (<3hrs away) that way I'm not heading into the weekend already tired like last year. We will be going VIP for the first time this year, so I'm not too worried about the showering thing Does anyone else do this? And if so which way do you prefer?
My frist year, we got a couple hours away from manchester, and stopped at a hotel for the night to wash up and sleep in beds before our drive back to Delaware.
Last year, we went straight to Gatlinburg, TN and camped for 4 days in the Smokey Mountains . . .. it was absolutely wonderful. And on the way home from that, we were dirtier then we were leaving Bonnaroo . . .. and we drove straight home.
I pulled over and got a hotel just past Nashville in '04 after I realized I was nodding off and couldn't remember driving through downtown at all. $35 was cheap compared to what could have happened, plus I got to clean up and have a bit of quiet time before coming home.
Personally, if you have the time and money, I say get a hotel room and split your trip home in 2.
Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.
Ive decided we're stopping on the way home at the hotel for shower and sleep like we did last year. Wish I had the money to stop both ways. Thanks for all your input though
Last year we left Wednesday night at like 10pm and arrived in line for Roo at about 8:00am. I think it really wiped us out for Thurday night. This year I hope we can do something like leave Wednesday morning and stay in a hotel that night get up early and then get in line for Roo. Once good nights sleep in a bed with A/C and a shower I think could do wonders.
