Where do they come from then???? :P<BR/><BR/>The torch is from all the stories I've heard from crew about being stuck in the dark when the fire alarm goes off, and sadly, one acount I heard from Mumbai where the girl said she was glad she listened to her trainers because it saved her life!Traytablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480385741777998383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080976995105624637.post-27054154635719778562008-12-30T10:12:00.000+11:002008-12-30T10:12:00.000+11:00Jesus!

I've never worried about cups, spoons etc. and I don't want to know anything about the YouTube vid.<BR/>It basically takes me two minutes to make a hotel room my own. <BR/>Don't disturb sign up. Re-stock minibar with my own booze. Suits in closet, all other clothes dumped in a big pile on the floor (easy to select from, every pillow in the room goes on the bed, then - a quick drink or two then hit the hotel bar for a talent search.<BR/><BR/>A torch on the bedise table!

I did get lost once, but I've worked out my route!<BR/>In Perth, its normally a boozy lunch with the crew and then stumbling to Woolworths in the mall to buy some supplies!<BR/><BR/>Apart from that my hotel routines are:<BR/>-check the wardrobes, bathroom and behind the curtains for boogie men<BR/>-like Airboy, use ALL of the towels available<BR/>- Mess up both the beds in the room! (if they're two beds) & remove cushions and bed runners (who knows when it was washed last!!)<BR/>- Iron my uniform immediately so I can go have a drink and not worry about ironing when I'm intoxicated<BR/>- write my pick up time on a piece of paper on the bedside table, especially on a multi day trip when I have different pick ups everyday!<BR/>- lastly,browse the room service menu!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas Tray!Sky High Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004034667166928277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080976995105624637.post-91986338246114833232008-12-25T05:21:00.000+11:002008-12-25T05:21:00.000+11:00Mine would be :- Display the DND sign AS SOON AS I...Mine would be :<BR/><BR/>- Display the DND sign AS SOON AS I enter the room.<BR/><BR/>- Call room service straight away for an iron + board if not provided, because they tend to take their time to deliver such item to crew. I had a bad experience just before pick up and my uniform being a scruffy pile of crap until I managed to trace the board and iron (manilla I think it was).<BR/><BR/>- recharge iPhone, connect computer and check emails.<BR/><BR/>- Usually have my big ass headphones with me. I have yet to invest in some travel speakers. That will be my next buy !<BR/><BR/>- Use all of the towels available, no matter what the sign for a better environment says.<BR/><BR/>- If not used, collect those shampoo, soaps and conditioners.<BR/><BR/>- Close the curtains<BR/><BR/>- Order a club sandwich<BR/><BR/>- CNN in the background first, then Discovery Channel. I love the Superstructure program they have... or even Mythbusters.<BR/><BR/>- Usually chill out at the bar for a beer when we check-in at unholy hours of the night (thinking SIN-MEL trip, especially Melbourne).<BR/><BR/>- Put everything in safe except Credit card and hotel keycard.<BR/><BR/>- Set my alarm 40 minutes prior to wake-up call because I love looooooong showers. Yes I know not the most environment friendly...<BR/><BR/>- have the bathroom light on so that the room isn't totally dark. Just in case we have to leave the room quickly (fire alarms tend to go off for no apparent reasons).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
