Maybe it's just the eight hour drive through a construction plagued highway 99. Could be the post-midnight tiredness setting in, the disappointment of realizing our hotel is 10 miles outside of the town they said they're in the middle of or a "suite" that consists of a 2-foot barrier between the bed and sofabed.

Could be any of those things but I'm still a bit miffed by the two apparent blood stains in the middle of the obviously unchanged sheets on my son's bed.

What happens next after this great letdown unfolds in our latest trip report when The World on Wheels visits Lodi, California.
