I thought they had quit putting them in motels here in Missouri also..at least years ago when hubby and I traveled we didn't see any.
When I was a witness and stayed in motels for the assemblies in the 60's and 70's there was always a Gideon bible in the drawer..
Never did meet any of them Gideons, just their bibles...
Getting back to your hubby, are you going with him? I would...
