Marilyn -

I guess they do - drat!

I use baby wipes instead of hotel washcloths - they're portable and don't fall apart. I also travel with my own pillowslip. Who knows how often the pillows are washed!

I cannot <i>believe</i> this thread has been resurrected. Oh my!

sandi

You're right Marilyn - those darn sheets again. Seems we can't bury this deep enough.

Relax, ladies, it's like seeing an old friend friend... or relative? :-&lt;

sandi

Yes, yes, like a bad penny!

FainaAgain

topping... refreshments, anyone? ~o)

I travel w/rubber sheets. That way nothing can leak up from the mattress either.

sandi

It's baaaack. Can't we just let this one die an easy death. Believe we're sheeted out!

Who keeps topping this thread?

Marilyn

Sorry, mea culpa. It was just so relevant to the other germophobe thread. I'm done now.

Hey a great idea and to save on space is disposable travel underwear, its convenient and comfortable too! Check out this link: http://www.nb-enterprises.com

You could use edible underwear, this way you wouldn't leave anything behind (pun intended).

With some expresso you couldn't tell the difference from a regular hotel breakfast, and non-fattening to boot.

OK, I'll stop.

I would much more like my own pillow as most people drool on them and there is only a pillow case between you and that stuff. buck

I also like to take my own hypoallergenic pillow.

Thought this thread was gone forever... yet, it has been raised from the dead.

It has been nearly 40 years since my last formal psychiatric training, but they now have effective medication for your behavior/needs, lol!

And I do not think I have ever read a funnier thread on Fodor's!

If I had to worry about bringing my own bed linens, towels etc. on every trip I would just give up and stay home.

And how about the silverwear at restaurants. Doesn't one think they have been handled by people (like when the table is being set?). Oh, the dishes too, in fact the food.

The list could go on and on.

But then Howard Hughes was a bit uptight about germs as I understand.

Actually being concerned to this extent is not funny, it is sad IMHO.

sandi

I was wondering how this thread found it's place &quot;up top&quot; again. Admittedly, it is a howl and we all need a good howl on occasion.

Like a bad penny, is it not.

Actually Sandi, I agree, getting close to the end of the week so a good laugh is indeed needed.
