The First Itinerary Change

After finding out that the hotel chain no longer do the Golden Gate Greeter Program I realised that I didn’t need to book 3 nights in the hotel, so have cancelled the first night. This will give me more flexibility on the road. The new itinerary is therefore:

Also I’ve contacted the bike hire company to see if I can get the route for Route 66 pre loaded into the sat-nav, however they’ve referred me to their self-ride tours in LA. I can’t quite see how people in LA are going to be able to load a route into a sat-nav in Chicago though. The reply e-mail also helpfully pointed out that they have moved location! I wonder if they were planning on telling me before I collected / attempted to collect the bike?
