Just about every trip I have ever taken has revolved around either bands or casinos.
A few years ago, I was booked for a fest in Austin. Shortly before, I ended up backing out. But I did not want to undo my vacation time, so I had to find somewhere else to go. Armed with a free roundtrip Greyhound bus ticket to anywhere Greyhound travels to, I decided to take a long distance bus trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Why Milwaukee? Who knows. I wanted to go somewhere around 20 hours-ish away so Wisconsin won. It’s really that simple.
I had booked two nights via Priceline at the Hilton City Center. Gorgeous hotel. Just in case you are unaware, www.biddingfortravel.com is the most useful tool when Pricelining a hotel.
When I was researching things to do in Milwaukee, I stumbled upon a bed and breakfast inside a mansion. This looked so cool! So I extended my trip to leave a day earlier so I could spend one night here.
