Hi, we just got our puppy last Friday, his name is Beauregard "Bo" and we plan to travel. Our first trip is next week. Going to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and rented a "pet friendly" cabin in the Smokey Mountains. Even has a dog run. Very secluded and beautiful mountain scenery from our cabin. This is the best puppy, sleeps all night in his crate, not a wimper. Right now he's sleeping at my feet, dreaming and barking in his sleep, wonder what he's dreaming about or chasing?

Linda, this is my dream to travel around the country with Jamaica ~ I am so jealous!
Did you have reservations, or did you wing it?
I am thinking I should be prepared to sleep in the car if we were unable to find a place that took dogs.
What kind of car do you have?
A small SUV?
Did you do any sight seeing?
If so, where were you able to leave Webber?
I think about things like leaving her in the car with the A/C going, etc...
I've done a lot of driving between the S.F. Bay Area and Portland, and Jamaica is great in the car.
Thanks.

Webber and I just finished a 7 thousand mile trip from North Carolina to Tumwater, Seattle and Bellingham, WA, down the coast of California to Seal Beach, Cerritos, Santa Barbara, and on to Riverside, California. On the way home we went to Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and back up to North Carolina. I can highly recommend La Quinta motels. Motel 6 is less expensive but very bare and basic. Traveling with a doodle is a great experience. Webber is 2.7 years old and he was amazing. The trip took 6 weeks and was a great adventure.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Dexter LOVES LOVES LOVES to stick his head out the window when we're driving. :-)

So we haven't done a ton of traveling with Dexter, mostly just around town and to our familie's houses. We'd like to do more and would love to hear about pet-friendly hotels and other places around California. We did make a trip down to my parents house and stayed in a hotel for a night WITH Dexter. Too funny. Here he is on the hotel bed! ;-)

Mackinaw Island, MI is really pet-friendly overall, and Mission Point Resort allows dogs. Great vacation with a doodle!

Cedar Island NC it's south of Ocracoke Island. Very isolated but dog friendly. Dogs can play in the shallow bays and run on the beaches in certain areas unleashed. Also, around Emerald Island area aka The Crystal Coast of NC. Topsail Island NC is great. Wilmington is a dog friendly city with 2 dog parks and Kure Beach just south of Wilmington lets dogs on the beach at the point of the island and there is a dog park.

Amelia Island is off the coast of Jacksonville, by the way.

Linda - what about renting a place on Amelia Island? My inlaws live there and they are dog friendly on the Fernandina Beach side, but NOT on the Plantation. If you research on VRBO or something, they will be specific about Plantation vs. other beach. The other beach is better anyway - less populated and more quant. There are some BIG houses there....
