Maybe we have less money then other World travelers have, maybe we prefer to spent our money on fuel and food instead of overpriced hotels.<br /><br />Skippy is walking and there is no real emergency which would required a motel room to recover.<br /><br />About work: we looked into it. If one of us would go to work we would need a different kind of visa which must be applied before(!) entering the country. Our health insurance clearly does not allow to work during our trip, which means another insurance must be taken. We anyway can only stay up to one year in the US due to the US regulations, which means we work = less time in the US to travel.<br /><br />In short I believe we learned to spend our money wisely and do not waste it on non-sense.<br /><br />No offense - just my reflection ;)Sauerkraut & Tofuwursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538531960984048821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309711851944066845.post-85423538275923809002014-08-12T08:59:44.105+03:002014-08-12T08:59:44.105+03:00I am just wondering how you want to manage your fu...I am just wondering how you want to manage your further trip, if you are that short of money. Have you ever thought about staying at a certain place for a while and look for some work? My lesson ever was: no work - no money. <br /><br />That's no offense - just my personal reflection.<br /><br />Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309711851944066845.post-65419571322813870512014-08-12T05:39:51.515+03:002014-08-12T05:39:51.515+03:00### UPDATE 11AUG ###

I will be still interested in those because the old ones have been bent and bent-back several times.<br /><br />We found a solution for the footpeg.<br /><br />I will rebuild the bike without the fairings - makes maintenance also easier.<br /><br />I found some super-long screws which were less damaged.<br /><br />Skippy will get her helmet soonish and we are soon good to go :)<br /><br />Thank you all who have helped us in our misery!

Even if they charge only one dog it would be 74USD. There is also a Motel 6 for 75USD per night and they do not charge for dogs so in the end its about the same. Camping would be 20USD/night or less.Sauerkraut & Tofuwursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538531960984048821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309711851944066845.post-47669466181408486182014-08-11T14:21:59.631+03:002014-08-11T14:21:59.631+03:00Hi Folks, sorry to read about your misery.
