It's so easy to get lost when you are trying to find your way towards the breakfast the following morning... Sigh. The corridors!

Should use preview first. Now, to answer the Q<br/>1.) They always nick my white, self-made towel fabric shower-/bathcap!?? Rome, Brighton, Paris<br/>2.) When I'm not well & specifically call Reception to request: NO CLEANING TODAY, PLEASE + adding the 'Please do not disturb' sign, they still come knocking/phoning to know when they can come to clean...<br/>3.) Faulty air conditioning & staff running in & out (every time a new person - & explain ad infinitum) & ALL you want, is to unpack & relax in the privacy of your hotel room.

Annie – the toilet paper on the far wall is a classic. I bet hotel bathroom designers have a chuckle every time they design another bathroom. The hangers bug me too.

e.i. – I love corridors in hotels – I am always taking snaps of them. I probably have at least twenty that aren’t on my flickr site. I don’t mind baby shampoos – they are free, after all…

ana va havana – being on vacation in your home town is definitely a great thing to do.

shaz – thanks for the imagery…nice !

sporty/monqueii – I had never really thought about the thousands of people who had slept (and done other things) in the same bed…now I think about it it’s not too nice. I may have to invest in a sleep sack myself.

And the remote control. All I can think is porn and sex have been had in this room - and not by me! To alleviate my fears, somewhat, I don a surgical mask and latex gloves to remove the sheets and bedspread from the bed. I sleep in my own sleep-sack I have brought with me. Furthermore, I ask for no housekeeping to ensure the bed will not be made up again with the icky bed-clothes. I'll be speaking with my therapist about this in more detail tomorrow.

The worst part of hotel living is sleeping in a bed that has been slept in by hundreds, if not thousands, of complete strangers. Call me crazy, but that's just yucky - especially after reading all those articles about the spread of bedbugs, of all things, in NYC hotels. Ewwwwwwww. Simple.
