An app that shows that on the lock screen of your phone based on location manager information would be a reasonable substitute.

Come to think of it, most of my make-up comes from the travel section at Sephora these days. And toiletries from the travel section at Boots.

When you spend a couple minutes explaining to the hotel desk clerk that you are checking out of room 1045, and she patiently reminds you that the hotel only has 3 floors. You start to argue, then remember the 10th floor was yesterday’s hotel.

When you're about to open the door to hang the Do Not Disturb sign and realize you're home and the door knob your hand is on is your front door.

(I did this once after a three week, multi-hotel trip. I was exhausted and jet lagged and actually opened my apartment door before it hit me that I was home.)

When you see a poster advertising "Munich from £1,099", and your immediate thoughts are:-
  • [*]
  • [*]
  • [*]
And then you realise that the poster is advertising a sofa.

Unless that sofa is made out of unicorn fur, that seems awfully overpriced.

Lightbulb full disclosure: this did NOT happen to me, but I can see it ...

you regularly connect at JFK on Delta, and for the past few years have instinctively gone to the terminal corresponding to the first digit of your flight number ... you disembark from the redeye, see that your connecting flight number begins with 5, walk outside, turn right ... < FACEPALM >

When the check-in agent asks you where you're going and you can't remember, because this is just another trip somewhere. Had a good chuckle with the check-in agent last month.

To be fair, as long as I land in Switzerland, the airport hardly matters when I go see family

When your friends are gobsmacked you have no plans in the pipeline for whatever reason.

A good one.

When the only way you realize what country you are in by the signs at the airport.

When you wake up in a strange room and you try to figure out where you are and after several minutes you realize that you're home. This has happened to me.

Basically, waking up and trying to figure out where you are, including like the above poster, when at home.

I think the former is much more common here than the latter though.

When trying to find the hotel room laundry bag, to have it ready for pick-up in the morning, not finding any and realizing you are home
