Jump around!

What is the first thing you do when you enter a hotel room? Some might check the bathroom first but I always check the bed first! It’s important to find out if the bed is hard, soft, lumpy or even downy. And as it turns out, I am not the only one who thinks that checking the bed is important. I came across this site Hotel Bed Jumping HQ and according to them the best way to test a bed is with a major jump ;) Cool pictures and videos.

The wonderful world of the internet strikes again!

Though I do always check the bathroom first.

I get the bible out of the nightstand drawer, close my eyes, open it up at random and point to a verse, then try to figure out what God is trying to tell me, even though I don't think I believe in God.

And then I check out the bed.

Isn’t the internet amazing, Andre?:) So you are a bathroom checker? Cool! One advice thought, don’t try the big jump in the bathroom or an empty bath.:)

Oh my, SKY must be really important to you, Aoj. You are checking it twice I see ;) What’s on SKY that’s soooo important?

That’s kind of special and unique, Zoom!. I’ve never heard of such a thing :). However, I do know a few people who always consult the book of answers

The thing about the bathroom Dakota is, I can go in there and say hmmm, no way I can stay in this room (it has happened on a couple of occasions, I remember a particular insect infected place in Madrid, oh and one in Sydney too), but the bed, well a very springy bed, not nice but I can live with it for a night or two.

Don’t get me started on hotel rooms, Andre. I’ve encountered beds with dirty sheets, a bed with no sheets, a pillow with creepy-crawlies, a wardrobe with clothes in it, a used condom in a drawer, a bathroom with no water, a bathroom with a whirlpool that didn’t work properly (the fuse got blown every time you turned it on), TV’s with 26 porn channels, an exploding toilet, a fire alarm that went off in the room every time I took a shower, a screwed up telephone system that kept calling the room every hour, a shower that flooded the room, etc, etc…..

LOL! DoGGa. When you see that list, it almost looks like I always stay in sleazy motels, but I came across some of these things in really expensive hotels. Luckily, my list of good experiences is much longer :)
