[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are headed back to my hometown to visit family. They don't live in an area where there is a hotel nearby and my mom's downsized house is too small to accommodate us.

That leaves my useless brother, whose entire existence is managed by SIL. They have never visited us in 20 years, or hosted overnight house guests. Not even their kid's friends.

They don't have an extra bedroom, which is fine. They do have a finished basement with a tv, ping pong table, and gym, which is where we will be staying. I asked about sleeping arrangements and he said DH and I and our teenage son could share the sectional sofa. They don't have any plans to set up a mattress or inflatable bed (money is not an issue).

So on top of loading up the car with our luggage, food, and gifts, we will also need to cram in an inflatable bed.[/quote]

Beggars can’t be choosers. You’re the one who needs free lodging. And I find it hard to believe there’s not a hotel. It might be a 20-minute drive, but still. I regularly drive from DC to rural Indiana, and there’s not a 20-minute stretch in MD, PA, WV, OH, or Indiana that doesn’t have signs for a hotel. [/quote]
