Tuesday Tip: Hotel Alarm Clocks

I'm back from the conference trip and nowwhere near recovered from the post-Sydney-conference flu which seems to have struck down a good number of attendees. Including keynote Jennifer Crusie. When my head has unclogged some I will report on the conferences. Meantime I have a brief tip for the unwary traveller.

When checking into a hotel room, always -- and that would mean every day! -- check that the bedside alarm isn't set for some ungodly pre-dawn hour. Because finding the off-switch on that strange alarm is damn difficult in the dark. Even the second morning.

I'm so sorry to hear you are under the weather. Hopefully you will feel better very soon!

How right you are about those bedside alarms!

LOL, on the bedside alarm, Bron. When we were in Sydney my roomie and I were woken by my dh sending me a text from NZ (two hours ahead of Sydney time). The rotter was up and about and just thought he'd touch base. And here was I thinking it was the alarm on my phone and time to get up (thank goodness it wasn't--it was far too early!) and all along it was a text message.

LOL, Yvonne. I wasn't very popular when I sent a text from Sydney airport enroute to NZ, just to say I was about to leave the country. Apparently those text-message beeps can rouse a person from a very deep sleep. So I'm told. *g*

Bron, feeling slightly better today, thanks, Susan.
