Hotels Where We Have Stayed.

During my years of business travel, I spent at least 900 nights in 70 US cities in 37 States, in maybe 150 to 200 different hotels.

During our private travels in the US, we have spent 200 to 300 nights in maybe 130 hotels (an educated guess), in perhaps 40 states. For example, we have stayed in 15 to 20 hotels in the Palm Springs area, 10 or 12 in Hawaii, a dozen in Las Vegas, several in Dallas, eight or ten each in San Francisco and San Diego, more than one hotel in Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, in Salt Lake City, several New England states, the following states, and maybe more.

Merchant Marine/San Francisco
I remember while waiting to get hired on a ship while in San Francisco, I spent many nights in a triple bunk bed, in the ballroom of the Cartwright Hotel. Cost all of 50¢ a night. Many of the beds were used by business men with coat, tie, and briefcase, since there was no place else to sleep in that city, right after WWII.

I spent about 60 to 70 nights on the ship, SS Marine Cardinal, during my short stay in the Merchant Marine. That wasn't a hotel room, but then it wasn't as if I was home either. I visited Manila for two or three days, spent my 18th birthday in the harbor at Singapore, then continued to Calcutta for another three or four days, and back to San Francisco with a shipload of GI's returning from the China-Burma-India Theater, at the end of WWII.
