After bombarding you all with endless super annoying pics of our trip to Savannah I will now post a serious of shit I experienced on this road trip. This will be the first.
Fran and Dan meet Frick.
So if you all don't know about Airbnb, well, check it out. Thanks to Allison, I found out about this website, and I have to say it is pretty fucking awesome. You can log onto Airbnb.com and search places to rent all around the world for super super cheap. You can chose to rent an apartment, flat, or full home either sharing it with the owner at the time, or renting it all to yourself.
We decided that since we were broke we would go with renting a bedroom in Frick's house. As in Frick I mean, Rick, Dick, DickyPoo, whatever you (or we) wanna call him. My mom wanted to tie me down and keep me in Philadelphia forever, claiming I was on my way to meeting the next Craigslist killer. For $60 a night I was willing to check it out. And I am still pretty positive Frick is gay, so I was confident he did not have any interest in my engine.
Well Frick was basically like a friend of a friends dad that you just paid minimal attention to. He was a super awesome host, only speaking to me when spoken to. I guess the dynamic is kinda weird for him. But like I said, he's got it down. He lets you be, and if you wanna talk to him, you can find him plopped right there on the couch watching Law and Order episodes catching up on his favorite novels such as the Help.
And he had a Brita too, which was a plus, cause Savannah water tastes like sulfur infused seltzer.
The only thing that was weird for me, is this whole taking off your shoes thing before you enter the house. I think it is pretty awesome that people follow this rule cause it makes sense in the long run, however, I just can't fucking get it. I am terrible at it. Everytime I got dressed I put on shoes, then realized as I was walking down the steps that I was not following the rules. Whatever. I suck at it, I get it.
Besides, Fran being nervous she would be chloroformed everything was just peachy in this Savannha home. It was nice and cozy and we def had the coolest room in the house. Being in someone elses home saved us from trashing some hotel room like a re-run straight outta our Maine trip. Our honeymoon suite served us right.
Point of story. Check out airbnb and save lotsa money on your next trip.
