Doctor Travel’s Travel Tip: Keeping Comfort Up When a friend of mine arrives at a hotel after a long trip, he flings open the door of his room and shouts, “Honey, I’m home!” He knows no one is in there to hear his greeting, but he also knows it makes him smile and, in some small way, helps him to adapt to his new home away from home. The most important issue with a hotel is how you feel when you stay in a room for an extended period of time. At the same time, you must express how you want to feel to the various hotel staff members with whom you come in contact. (Taken from page 201)
Take care of your back. If the desk or bureau is higher than the bed, pack or unpack your suitcase on it instead of the bed to avoid back strain.
Ask for what you want. Ask housekeeping for such items as an extra pillow or two, a brighter light bulb, fresh towels, an iron, a hairdryer, and so forth.
Put away tent cards with advertising on them. Would you have ads all over your living room?
Travel with sample sizes of your favorite bubble bath, mouthwash, or perfume. Familiar fragrances feel like home. (Taken from page 207)
