The appeal (as I understand it) is you're not constantly packing and unpacking.  You're in one constant stateroom.  It's as if you stay in your same hotel, but the hotel moves from city to city during the night.

Do you only have one day in each city? Are there structured activities during the day or do you wander off on your own?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

A little trip along with Col. Jackson?

With a little bacon and a little beans? Would be great, if there was also a car.
