We were on our way Virginia to celebrate Christmas with our Virginia grandchildren and also their parents. The blizzard caught up with us. Thanks to two different truck drivers at the service plaza 140, we got off immediately and called the Days Inn in Amherst. They had a room available. Just as we entered our room the national sign for an emergency came on. It took us awhile to reailze the sound was coming from our cellphone.\r
That warm cosy room looked like a castle to us. Since it was the day after Christmas we were equipped with many goodies. Thanks to your inroom micro, refrig and coffee pot we had a very nice meal and didn't have to brave the storm anymore. The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast at the Denny's.
