My new love called me up shortly after met and had the requisite two dates to ask "How'd you like to do some budget urban camping?" Having learned of my "urban camping" concept during one the numerous phone conversations we had after meeting on dating site Plenty of Fish. Limited funds during the current recession wouldn't permit a night at my favorite campsite which I haven't visited in months for the same reason. So we chose a low-cost alernative for our first encounter.
Urban camping for two is a great time to make a choice. Chances are you're not going to be watching TV, so it doesn't matter if you have HBO or even cable, for that matter. We didn't. Just four local channels we barely watched except to see the news.
Amenities like wifi, breakfast buffets don't matter either if you're spending a your time in bed. We had a nice clean room in a vintage, downtown hotel with old fashioned bath features including a "de-clawed" claw foot tub.
We were just there one night, but are planning a return trip to commemorate our first night together by re-creating that initial encounter, complete with having the same Chinese food delivered on our first urban camping for two visit.
The Original Urban Camper, I wrote a book about how I created the "urban camping" concept of camping out in hotels and coined the term as it relates to hotel camping. This blog is about my travels to CHOICE Campsites starting with my very own home CHOICE campsite in Toledo, Ohio. Follow my travels and make urban camping travel plans of your own! My guide, "How I Became an Urban Camper," will tell you how. It's available for purchase or a free download at lulu.com. (see links)
