The Good
- Free wifi in most hotels - why is it in Australia the hotels charge a fortune for wifi, even for the same chain of hotels??
- Free wifi at Wyoming rest stops - top marks for Wyoming!!
- Mile markers on the freeway - much better than a letter or two for the next important town (and the guessing game for it)
- Exit numbers based on the mile markers - you know how far it is to the exit - great!
- 120 km/h on the interstate freeways yay! (ok 70 mph for those who have not joined the 21st century)
- Free bus in downtown Denver
- Moose Drool beer :D
- Cross Walk countdowns - much better than just the flashing red symbol!
- Auto paper towel dispensers in the toilets - just wave your hand past and you get more towel (as opposed to using Jedi mind powers!)
- Not including tax in the quote prices for items - How hard can it be? We do it in Australia and a couple of the places we went to did this (Mammoth site in Hot Springs for example)
- No wifi 32GB iPad 2s in Montana - Boo!
- Colder on the first part of the trip than Sydney - and it is supposed to be summer here!
- Lack of any decent coffee in Yellowstone National Park - considering how good the coffee is in the US the bile provided in Yellowstone was just awful
- Non dairy creamer - yuk, particularly the flavoured ones which were too sickly sweet
- Scratchy towels at Ramada Inn, Bozeman
- Americans complaining about petrol (ok gas) prices. The prices we saw were under $4 / gallon which translates under $1 in Australia. We are currently paying $1.30 or more here (which is about $5 / gallon).
- Fox News - I feel the braincells dying just watching it (why do most hotels show this on their lobby screens??)
