totally rethink that hotel room thing. It ends up being a major drunken fest with tons and tons of kids having sex. The hotel looks the other way because they usually collect a deposit from the kids who don't have credit cards, and then just keep the deposit.

We had the misfortune to stay at a Residence Inn in CT when the local high school was having its prom. We finally had to call the cops. Kids were screaming, drinking, smoking. It was awful. It was a stressful time anyway because my mom was in the hospital, which was the whole reason we were there, but I really didn't need for my 2yo little girl to see a bunch of naked teenage boys running around the lawn.
