Then no one messes with your towels, toiletries, and your carefully collected recyclables.

But then, the toiletries industry is having a great year, because everyone has to throw away all their stuff (mostly packaged in plastic) before boarding the plane, and buy more on arrival! Many think the liquids rules were put in place as a favor to political donors at companies like Proctor & Gamble ...

Well, I guess the Mexicans won there, but it's a symbol of resistance to them. Or maybe the inn isn't named for the mission in San Antonio, but for the literal meaning of "alamo", "poplar tree". Were there any poplar trees around? I didn't notice. Trees in general don't seem to poplar in Anaheim, just palm. Isn’t naming an inn after the Alamo a little insulting to people of Mexican descent?

That cost money and they watch their money. It is nice to see they don't wash the towels every time now. <br/><br/>Beth, I have a question on your half marathon. What did you do at water stops? What type of cup did they use? And the plastic ties they use to hold on your timing chip, did you use it? I have a velcro tie that I can put on my shoe that will hold my chip. No more plastic ties for me.<br/><br/>I can live without straws and lids, what I need to do is bring my own cup. Thanks for visiting my blog I don’t see hotels throwing away unopened soaps.

I traveled a lot for work this spring and have to do it again this fall. I will be spending 12 nights in October alone in a motel. I did bring home the soaps and shampoos for some odd reason this spring. Guess I had it in mind to share with the homeless or something. I do think however that it's probably a better idea not to take them at all. My concern is, I only stay one night in each motel. Do they leave the soaps for the next person if I don't use them or do they throw them away or does the cleaning staff take them home? Guess I'll have to start asking. I would rather take them then leave them to be thrown away. Anybody have any thoughts or ideas? Thanks again for letting us peek into your life Beth! Good post.
