    That would work where I live (everything being dead in september because all the families with kids did all their holiday shit in the summer already so enjoy vacancies everywhere), but I had a minor culture shock when I was visiting the US a few years ago and it was like late october or early november or something and we tried to get a hotel room at night in some small town because we had 300 miles left to drive to where we were actually going but at 11 PM kinda wanted to get some shut-eye first and the clerk was like “oh sorry, can’t help you, it’s still wedding season”. Like apparently summer through autumn is just wedding season and hotels are fully-booked even in November??? And no, this wasn’t like Florida or California that’s warm all-year round, this was upstate NY.

      This is our first time pushing a vacation so late it’s after labor day. We are indeed going somewhere where the trees will turn to orange, but maybe we can catch it in the few week window in between. I guess we’ll find out.
