I get this. I have a drawer full of Sheraton mini bath scrubbies...perfect size for travel

. It's the only thing I swiped from hotel rooms on a regular basis (and really one of the only redeeming qualities of Sheraton over Westin)

Funny the stuff that pops up. I have a "collection" of business class blankets that we use for picnics, at the park, to cover the white couch when it is raining out side and the dog will make a mess of it, etc. When I used to stay at Ws, I liked pretty much all of their amenities. The hand cream was great. It didn't smell too girly for me and actually worked well.

That's a nice idea for the homeless shelter. I intended to do that at one point and was keeping all the amenity kits to fill with soaps, shampoos, and what not, but then I stopped keeping the toiletries and my stash of little bottles got old so I tossed them.

I donate my excess hotel toiletries (unused and/or sealed of course) and amenity kits to shelters for battered women. They appreciate a tiny bit of luxury during tough times.

A couple times I brought a stash of W stuff to a DO to give away.

I always wanted to do this, but after getting caught at Heathrow one too many times with too many liquids in my carry-on, I figured I'd better stop tempting fate....

Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so I've been told.

Hi all,

Sorry that I took too long. We have a crazy weeks! Serial stowaway got arrested again on this Tuesday afternoon. She went to O'Hare airport. She managed escape from Safe Haven. She sneaks out of facility. She was not supposed to be there. She was charged with criminal trespass and felony escape, too. She still have on her ankle monitor. They notify to Chicago Police Department. They were looking for her. I cannot not believe it. She is at it again! She didn't listen to the judge or me. She repeatedly, repeatedly not to go to airports anymore! She cannot leave from facility. She must be secure mental health after she escape from Safe Haven,. She breaks the law. She should be punished. She went to the court yesterday. She is currently being held without bond. She violating her probation. I am big pissed with her again! The judge will be pissed at her again.

LOL, I usually threw them in my checked baggage and didn't take them if I only had a carry-on.

Thanks. For those who don't venture into OMNI, I took the dogs out, and as we were walking down the driveway, I found a pothole in the gravel. I bruised the palm of one hand, scraped my elbow and knee on the other side of my body, and sprained my shoulder.
