Of course I no sooner put away my suitcases from my month on the road when my boss informs me I will be heading to Toronto next month. It just figures. So it seemed time to list some of the observations I made with my latest travels.
-Fig Newtons are lousy travel snacks. They are way too smushy and become one giant Newton in your carry on bag. They still taste good though.
-Traveling with many chargers - 6 laptop, iPhone, 4 Blackberry (AT&T and Verizon)and bluetooth headset caused many eyebrows to raise. It also garnered me surprise and much gratitude from the man at baggage claim who needed a charger.
-After staying in multiple hotels you begin to forget just what your room number is. 1401. 1605. 639. 435. They all begin to blur together. The same thing with cities. I'm in Detroit. I mean Dallas. Oh wait, where am I again?
-I never turn on the tv in a hotel room. This is partly due to me spending hardly any time there and also because I like the peace and quiet.
-I love the free toiletries but really don't need them as I have a drawer full.
-I always look at the room service menu, though I rarely order.
-I love hotels that have an iPod dock and robes. I am not happy with the ones which give you neither. Oh and mints, chocolate or tiny brownie bites on your pillow are all welcome. Making me search your cleverly designed room for where the heck the iron is hidden does not make me happy.
-When you fly out of the same terminal 3 days in a row, people at Starbucks start to recognize you.
-Boarding passes make great bookmarks.
-Hotels have started giving little pads of paper and not pens, but pencils for meetings. I love it but if you're going to give me a roomful pencils at least give me a pencil sharpener.
-Sleeping in your own bed is always so wonderful!
