Oh man, so true. And you don’t have to worry about bed bugs. We have a routine we do every time we get back from a hotel, so we don’t risk getting them in our house. It’s such a pain, but probably worth it.

I bet you have some good airplane stories. When flight attendants see us using our wipes, they often comment on how smart that is and suggest places to wipe that we might be missing. 😉

In reply to Kristy. The wipes are the best. I am usually a bit embarrassed about it so try to do it secretly. I would die if I had to touch someone else's trash on a plane. I know. I have problems. ;)

That’s why Mexico is the best– you can get anything in a pharmacy. No wait. I mean, it’s the best because tequila does kill germs! That’s the only reason I drink it.

In reply to kattrinna. I guess not a complete one, but somewhat, right? I'm always reassured to know that my behavior isn't completely freakish. ;)

That’s a major reason I prefer traveling in an RV. It’s my bed (mattress purchased new), my linens, my cooking items, etc. Some people are just gross and as a former Flight Attendant, I saw more than my share.

Ooh, I do like the wipes idea for the plane. Actually, these days I’m surprised the airlines don’t hand them out to all the passengers so we can clean the plane as we fly. I remember a flight attendant instructing a cabin full of passengers to clean up around our seats and the seat pockets, even stuff that wasn’t ours, because the plane’s turnaround time was going to be too short for the cleaning crew to get the job done! 😀

its true, rarely something you think about when you recall your adventures but how many times does someone get sick while traveling. We pack everything in the medicine cabinent now so we will have it if we need it ( we can be germ-a-phob too) Doesn’t tequila kill most of the grms though?

You’re not a complete germaphobe, I think. 😀 It’s still acceptable and somehow normal 🙂
