Regarding the telephone dialing instructions....once you know that 9 is for a local call, use it to access 800/888, etc numbers. Toll free numbers are considered "local" calls.

I agree with the map frustration, I usually investigate a city I'll be in prior to arrival....getting a map with Rental Car is only fair. Some cities put detailed city maps in the phone bookes BUT when I find the page I need it usually has been ripped out!

(Baobab: I agree with the "no talking" attitude at the end of one's day! My job requires me to talk (all day) I'm an Instructor, so quiet solitude is a beautiful thing!)

Lastly, I want my shampoos/bath gels refreshed on a DAILY basis. Even if housekeeping views the half empty bottle of shampoo in the shower....give me a new one, maybe what's left will not be enough for the next day's shampooing!!

(Wonderful amenities at the The Pointe @ Squaw Peak Hilton in Phoenix...Caswell & Massey Products!!)
