-When you have enough tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner to refill the giant bottles you go at Costco.

-When all of your bath towels are white with a slightly raised logo in the center.

When you go to your hometown movie theatre and look for the headset.

When you have so many FF miles that you really don't have the desire to redeem them for more flights.

When you run out of blank pages in your passport and need a new one. ( This actually happened to a friend)

LOL Ryan you are so correct. The cost of our rooms at the Grand Wailea this summer was so outrageous that I reonciled it by pirating enough of the room's toiletries to fill a large shoe box. Of course I shipped them home because I didn't want to lug them around.

*When you see the same flight attendants over and over and you DON'T fly the same routes
*When you never unpack
*When you plan necessary surgery AROUND your travel schedule
*When your family has no clue where you are and when you are leaving... I landed in MSP and my daughter called asking me to bring something to her at work...

These are all so funny and so true!

You can tell who the road warriors are on this board.

and....


You know you travel too much when you don't blink at a $37 continental room service breakfast for one.

>>When you're ready to strangle your kids and/or your DH.<<

Hmmmm...I always thought this was a sure sign that you need to get out of town for a while! ;-)

When Mr. R5 uses our intercom and
announces "Your taxi is here!" and I
go into momentary jaw drop 'cause I can't remember if he's kidding or not.

when you call your husband from the hotel at night and he says "how's Chicago?" and you say "I'm in Barcelona, dear" - this has happened more than I care to say!

you finally find that pair of dressy pumps you've been looking and looking for - in a bag you never got finished unpacking some months ago.

...when the preset buttons in your car are not programmed to radio stations you can actually pick up from home.

...when you put enough miles on your car in one week to cover a NY to LA road trip (and then some...).

...when you get a new car and laugh at the "3 years or 30,000 miles" warranty, knowing that it will last you about 8 months.

...when you can't remember where you were yesterday or where you'll be tomorrow.

...when your boss chokes after you hand him/her your expense report.

...when less than four hours is a "short drive".

...when you know which lane of the interstate/turnpike has fewer potholes.

...when you carry a bottle of Febreeze in your trunk.

...when "vacation" means staying at home.

...when you think of luggage as a workout.

...when you know the trick to making the printer/copier work at your hotel's business center.

...when you wake up w/an empty snack-size Pringles container on your chest, Pringles crumbs in the bed, an empty beer bottle next to you, and the TV remote in your hand....

When you place a drink on the family room end table and realize it is the husband's suitcase.

or

When you sit to watch tv and place your feet on the ottoman only to find it's another damn suitcase.

or

When the husband comes home with a shopping bag, you get all excited, and then you find out it's another SUITCASE.

When you get home and think that a bowl of cereal is a fantastic meal!

and yes,

we have enough shampoo and soap to keep us going for the next 5 years

When you get up at home in the morning and look outside your BEDROOM door for your newspaper.

When at home you pause after drying yourself from your shower to try to decide if the towel should go on the floor to be be washed or on the rack to be used again.

When you arrive at home and start to call the newspaper to have it started again and then decide no, it isn't worth it as you'll be leaving again too soon.

When you haven't had time to put your Costco and Starbuck's cards back in your wallet.
