So, I am sitting in my car at work when I decided to check on VISA balance for the upcoming trip, (any ballpark chaser dreads the '$200" minimum buy in at the car rentals so it is good to plan ahead), when I realized my Visa Card was gone. Also someone decided to buy a bunch of gas on it. The bottom line is I started to panic since it was my only credit card. I start the streak in 6 days, but I am starting my vacation tomorrow in Vegas. Luckily my card issuing company is going to send it to a hostel for me on Monday. In my travels, I found hostels to be the nicest staff of any hotel/boarding place. I especially recommend www.HIHostelling.Com. Their locations in Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston are really close to the ballparks and convenient. I will have my new card in time for the trip and thank you' the USA' for offering rental cars, with debit cards at airports, that is a lifesaver. My point is to always have a back-up plan. I start for '30-23' on the 22nd with Pittsburgh and Detroit, follow my other blogs for detailed schedule. Updates will be posted in here almost daily. I hope to see ya out at the yard.
