I’m not sure I’ve ever mentioned this before, but most hotel rooms will leave these cheap, disposable slippers (here’s a 12-pack on Amazon) in your room – I save ‘em and use ‘em when I’m on a long flight and don’t want to wear shoes but absolutely am not stepping into that plane’s bathroom in socks or bare feet.
ACTION ITEM: Take nice comfortable slippers with you on those long plane trips
Travel tip – unplug the clock in your room. You probably have an alarm on your phone plus the hotel will be thrilled to set a wake up call for you (I do this as a redundant system). These in-room clocks just make the room brighter while you’re trying to sleep plus the previous occupant almost certainly set the alarm for 4:00 am and the housekeeper didn’t reset it.
ACTION ITEM: Unplug. Now.
My daughter sat next to a guy who peeled the wire out of the barf bag’s enclosure and proceeded to pick his teeth with it. For two hours. What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever witnessed?
ACTION ITEM: Upgrade when you can.
Here’s a quick travel tip, since these seem to be most popular posts here: before I fly I place a bottle of water in the console of my car so when I return (usually way dehydrated from flying) it’s within reach for a rapid rehydration. It really cuts down on the headaches and tiredness I sometimes feel after a flight, long or short… plus makes me sweeter to be around once I get home 😉
ACTION ITEM: Leave a bottle of water next to the driver’s seat before your departure
