		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to remember one key point when you are traveling: hotel/hostel/guesthouse rates are negotiable.

Today I depart for a a few days of biking inn-to-inn on the Katy Trail in Missouri. This is something I&#8217;ve wanted to do for ages, so I&#8217;m far more excited than I usually get about a domestic writing trip. The hard part is, I have to carry all my things with me as I&#8217;m [...]
