Hello!

We'll be traveling soon from Columbia, SC to San Francisco via Rapid City, Denver, San Diego (I know, it's out of the way, but we have a meeting there), and Palm Springs with our two dogs.  We've never done anything like this before and are a little nervous about it.  There are pet friendly hotels on our way but our dogs are not as other pet friendly as we would like.  We'll be working on this for the next couple of months before we go.  Any tips would be helpful!
