Finally made it to Nashville Friday night, well, just outside of it actually. I got tired of playing Russian Roulette on Priceline.com for the past week, so I opted this time to stay at a suburban hotel outside the city limits.

Finally wrapping up a whirlwind of a weekend before heading back home tomorrow. To recap, I traveled to the Berkshires to spend a night in Stockbridge at the Red Lion Inn, and then stayed at a roadside motel in Barrington for the last two nights and using that as a launchpad to return to Stockbridge…
