Why the "Bitchy" traveler?

Well, this is my first official blog and I wanted to explain the title a bit.  Not unlike most Americans today, I work very hard for my money so when I travel I hate when I waste money on crappy food in restaurants, or poor service in hotels.  I do not expect everything to be perfect all the time, however, I do want the value of my money to count. For example, I once spent the night at a $42.00 per night motel in Orlando, and guess what, no surprise I got what $42.00 buys, a gross room and some sort of sinus infection when I got home.  However, when I spend $250.00 on a room, I expect to get what they advertise and when I don't I get, well a bit pissed off.  I feel I am generally a nice person, and to be honest I do not complain to the hotel or restaurant, I just walk away and never return. Now I have this, if there is a time that I feel that I have been "short changed" with my experience I will put it here so that maybe someone else in the world will not have to waste their hard earned money on something that is less than wonderful.  In addition, when I find exceptional restaurants, hotels or businesses I will also share them with you, since that is the goal of my trips.
