Matthew McConaughey Takes Penelope Cruz on Romantic Break  6/19/05

Matthew McConaughey is proud to take girlfriend Penelope Cruz on a road trip in his mobile home, because he rates it a more luxurious experience than staying in a five-star hotel. 

The Sahara co-stars are set to shun expensive accommodation as they travel across America in the hunky actor's house on wheels - which he favors for the privacy and technological facilities it allows. 

McConaughey, 35, says, "I love my mobile home, I can really feel my independence. "It's great having my own four walls instead of staying in hotels all the time. Instead, I have a satellite so I can connect to my mobile office at any time. "I have my own bed, a little kitchen, a grill and fresh water. "It's not quite a five-star hotel, but I like it better."
