I'm watching this show with my parents as they jokingly argue about the correct name of the weather girl. The show is called High Road, Low Road, and the premise of the show is as the title suggests; one host gets to see the travel destination on an unlimited budget, and the other on a back-packer style budget. They're in Hollywood at the moment, so the differences are quite drastic. Cool hay!
My style is definitely along the low road. Some friends and I actually went to the Hollywood strip on a road trip one time. We refer to it as 'tour de rollercoaster' and we drove from Canada to California in one shot, taking turns driving between the 4 of us in a rental car, and were in northern California swimming in a dam the next morning. The place this 'low road' host stayed was actually way nicer than where we were - he was in a $70USD a night backpackers about two blocks from all the action, and he had upgraded (the standard was aparently $22) to a private room with a kitchen and some other room. This place looked bangin tho! It had freebies like cereal and free beer at karaoke nights and looked like a fun place to hang. We ended up at this dive that looked like it would have been amazing in the 50's .. but had definitely fallen out of care. The four of us shared the one bed .. actually, I think we may have made the boy sleep on the floor. HA. Men are great sometimes. Anyway, this place was literally around the corner from all the action, and pretty good value for money, and kind of ducked away from a lot of the typical skeeze and oddballs, so that was appreciated for the safety of the rental car. From there, we were able to boost all over town, hit up the clubs for some L.A. fun, and just had a wicked trip. I'm totally OK with the low road.
The girls in Hollywood!
