IT's a very nice gesture to donate the unused shampoo/soap etc to the homeless. I think the hotels should take it on themself to put all the soap in a big canister and pour the half used shampoos and other stuff in containers and give them to the homeless.


Everyone here has made such great suggestions.. a few reflections:

Baobab: my hair is not as long or as beautiful as yours but I too could use an extra towel or two.. especially if I go swimming and I have to wrap my suit and stuff in a towel. One HOliday inn gave me one towel with the thickness of a piece of paper towel.
Mauld: my sentiments exactly. there are a few times I am in my room alone, it's late and I'd like to know what channel is which (especially if it's the weekend and I want to know which is the PBS station airing "the Red Green SHOW!"
You know.. a T-V guide like guide could be useful in rooms!

MAYBE We can take all these ideas and turn them into a "Hotel Guest Bill of rights!"

Starting with Amendment one:

*NO STUPID EXTRA CHARGES FOR LOCAL OR CREDIT CARD CALLS!!! WRITE THIS IN BIG READ LETTERS AS THE PREAMBLE TO THIS CONSTITUTION.

And here's that Preamble:

"We the flyers, who travel the world, in order to have an enjoyable stay, ask first of all to END the Miscellanous PHONE charges, Double Dip our points, ensure zin in early and late check-in, provide us with extra towels and most of all: do not disturb signs to avoid those early morning surprises!

DO ordain and establish this constitution, for the Flyer-Talkers around the world.

(sing this to the tune of "We the PEople" from Schoolhouse ROck... if you don't know what this is... e-mail me for an explaination!)
