On the internet, no one knows you're a dog.
On a semi-recent trip, a trip-mate (ok, my boss) opened his suitcase to discover he left *all* his clothes home, nicely laid out. I drove him shopping

This thread is *just* bordering on TMI... Amy |

Amy, "bordering"? I, for one, have not forgotten to pack underwear in years. I have, however, miscounted and had to wash underwear in the hotel sink because I didn't have quite enough. I wonder if I could wash them in the coffeemaker instead? Wait, no, then they'd smell like salmon. |

Paul, Didn't he notice that his suitcase was a little ... light? Could be worse. On a trip to Brazil, one of my coworkers packed 3 bottles of wine in his checked baggage as gifts ... completely unprotected. Which meant an emergency clothes shopping trip in Sao Paulo -- only said coworker was 6' 2" and 240lbs, which made it very hard to find clothes in his size in Brazil. He was rather oddly dressed for the rest of the trip. |

He did, but had a bunch of work crap in there and so it was still a reasonable weight. He had suspicions on the plane. I've had to send stuff out for laundry a few times when my 'burn rate' was way higher then expected; spills, etc. Yeah, a lot of americans/canadians can have quite a time getting clothes internationally, even in some parts of europe. |

This is confirming my suspicion that I'm not that weird for using Lysol wipes to decontaminate the most touched surfaces in hotel rooms and for refusing to use the coffee maker (I've watched too many Dateline episodes where they find MRSA, e coli, and other nasty bacteria in hugely unsafe levels across most surfaces commonly touched in hotel rooms like the tv remote, the light switches, and the coffee maker - due in part to inadequate cleaning, and in part to cleaners wiping everything down with the same rag used to clean the toilet with). DH calls me obsessive-compulsive...I say that I'm not sure I want to strengthen my immune system by ingesting other people's bodily fluids, thanks. Besides, the coffee is usually too hideous for even me to see it as a caffeine delivery system in the morning. Maybe the whole salmon in the coffee pot is why.... |
