Well, all that agita over a hotel reservation was for naught. Just hours after I successfully made the reservation, Governor Wolf announced new COVID restrictions going into effect at midnight tonight, making our plans for this trip impossible. (We have to go out of state for a family funeral; we had planned to go to this hotel tonight, stay overnight, drive the rest of the way to the funeral Saturday morning, return to the hotel for Saturday night and come home Sunday morning.)
The new restrictions mean the hotel's restaurants will not be serving any meals and, since there is no convenient place to order meals delivered, that meant there would be no food to be had easily at the hotel (possibly at all, since all the restaurants anywhere around would be under the same restrictions). I cancelled the reservation--and may have to pay a cancellation charge, since I was past the 24-hour grace period.
Instead, we have made plans to meet with another relative and share driving so we can do it all in one day. To be honest, I was looking forward to the chance to spend 24 to 36 hours away from home.
