Walking into a hotel with a fridge? Very tacky! Get yourself one of those coolers that you can plug in. You can also plug them into your car.

Jack: <BR><BR>I would bring the small frig with you. I think the hotel is cheap. There is no way a frig will cost them $10/day to run. I pay $50 monthly for my electric bill a month and that includes much more than just a frig on 24/7. Also, I stayed in a hotel in SC and they had a full kitchen and never asked for a surcharge for electric.<BR><BR>

One thing I'd really like to see is Stephanie walking into a hotel room with her "frig." I thought that was illegal in most states.

Sure, bring it. Since you probably won't want a hernia yourself, tell people that you have a bad wrist and get someone else to hoist it for you when you go the the airport and at the hotel. You may want to check the fridge's overall dimensions because it may not fit in the overhead bin as a carry-on.<BR><BR>Idiot.

Once I was staying in a hotel and got mad they didn't have a bathtub with jacuzzi so I brought my own. Piece of cake. Just unscrewed their tub, dropped it over the balcony and got a couple of plumbers to hook mine up. No trouble at all. Then when I was ready to leave, I reattached theirs pretty as you please! I don't think anyone was inconvenienced.

Call me Jack and I'll get you settled in your room.

Most hotels have refrigerators in their rooms these days. Just pick one of those.

Cool idea Jack. Bring Your Own Fridge.

Do what we do. Empty the mini bar and stick your own stuff in. Leave a note to the maid with $5 thanking her for such a nice job and that all the stuff is accounted for on the dresser.
