Airports and Hotels

I was traveling for work this week. I'd like to point out a couple of reasons I like the Minneapolis Airport: Super nice people and long bathroom stalls.

We arrived in Minneapolis around 9pm. Everything was closing. Even though the register was already cashed out, one of the workers was going to open it up again to sell me a drink. I asked if there were vending machines instead. I know how opening a closed register can cause huge confusion the next day. When I used the restroom, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my luggage and I could fit into the stall without me having to sit on the toilet with my suitcase on my lap to close the door.

The one thing I'd like to ask Minnesotans, or all Mid-Westerners is where are toilet seat covers? It's hit or miss if they are in a restroom. I'd have thought an airport restroom would have one, but I was wrong.

Hotels, what's with all the pillows and why don't they have any form? I had to double up on the pillows. I think it's the filing. Probably goose down. I guess I'll stick with my fiberfill!

I did love the breakfast buffet. I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast 2 mornings in a row. WW, what's that? Viv's July weight loss challenge. huh? I did manage to run and bike on night and do core work and the bike last night. Not enough to burn off biscuits and gravy, but at least I did something...

Travel is always so interesting. You never know what you're going to get.

Ahhh, travel.
I always do well when I travel for work. I don't want to indulge in anything when I think people are watching. I'm weird that way.

I live in the midwest and wonder the same thing about the seat covers. Sometimes, they are located in ONE stall and you just have to know which one it is...

LOL yeah Viv, when we moved to NC, there are mostly no seat covers in public restrooms. Although my job has them, but not in every stall, they are located outside the actual bathroom.
