Pee in the Bed and That Diseased Remote Control. By Geniusofdespair

No pee found in my bed...yet.

As I do the rounds of relatives and they hear I am staying with Aunt Marriott, they feel compelled to tell me hotel horror stories that they lived through (the pee found in their bed) or that they heard on TV (i.e. the TV remote control is the most germ infested object in the hotel). Also, I am not to use the drinking glasses because the maids don't clean them well. Niece Sarah taught us what to do to detect bed bugs: Jump on the bed and then look in the corners. Wow! Vacationing is almost as toxic as our streams. According to USA Today, out of three hundred streams tested nationwide all of them had high levels of mercury. So me and the fish are in big trouble if we want to be free of human manufactured pollutants and, of course, kooties.

It's always fun to check out the Bedbug Registry before traveling. Vancouver has had an explosion of bedbugs and its going to get worse with the winter Olympics.

Just in case you are flying: If you really want some horror stories, ask a steward on an airplane. Kids being changed on the flip-down tables. People sneezing and touching the buttons and tables. Even snot on the windows as we look out. Last trip I took some lysol wipes and we each took one and wiped down everything, even the air control. You know the airlines aren't doing it, so you might as well.
