A google maps fail, but Zac saves the day

After a cold night in the woods, and a tough day on my feet, I was looking forward to the Super8 in downtown Darien Georgia. Both my feet have developed corns (on my little toes), and despite treating and wrapping them they still hurt when I run…and even when I walk. so as I made my way to where Google said the Super8 would be giddy in anticipation of a hot shower and a comfortable bed, I became increasingly concerned that the spot where I was supposed to see a Super8 looked more like an office building! Indeed, as I got to the listed address it was the Darien Municipal building….no shower or bed in sight. After a call to Super8 they confirmed that they are NOT in downtown Darien, but rather just off I95 a few miles north west of town (it would have been nice if they had shared that when I called about room availability).

So there I sat, outside the municipal building, on a bench, in the dark, getting bit by bugs. I scanned the map for another option and found three…two Inns, and a B&B. Both the Inns were booked for the night so it was down to my last option, the Open Gates Bed & Breakfast…with the only alternative being a gypsie spot in the bushes of the municipal building.

…And then Zac Rath saved the day! The owner of the Open Gates B&B had a room and found pity on my situation. Ten minutes later I was sitting in a beautiful home right in the heart of Darien…with a beautiful BED!

What’s more, it turns out Zac is a master chef so the next morning the other guests and I feasted on an AMAZING breakfast!

I could definitely get used to this! But alas it was time to go, so a couple pics with Zac and the other guests and I was back into the fray.

If you’re ever in Darien you MUST stay at the Open Gates B&B. You’ll be glad you did 🙂
