1) It's tough to navigate an airport that lacks heat, lighting (at certain hours), and working staff. These same factors contribute to chaos during flight delays and cancellations.
2) When you want a steak, you want a steak. Not a hamburger patty on a fancy platter.
3) In the winter months, heat is a GOOD thing. I say this in terms of room temperature and water temperature.
4) Speaking of water, it's nice to have some.
5) Lost luggage happens. But flirting, bribing, and breaking rules to get it back shouldn't.
6) We like when people turn on their headlights while driving at night.
7) It's a pain asking your husband to wipe the mouse poo off your bed every afternoon and evening. (Even though he's happy to do it for you! LOVE YOU HUNNIE!)
8) Starch, starch, starch does not a meal make. Although delicious, vegetables and meat are a nice way to decorate a plate, too!
9) I think we've retired from our mission to "find the dirtiest bathroom on the planet".
10) Waking up to bruised hips can't be normal.
11) There must be a "sleeping in a moldy room" quota that we've surpassed. Phil used his puffer four times each night and we avoided our room like the plague during the day.
12) Clean tap water is AWESOME. Enough with the bottled water brushings!
13) I don't want Phil to use a "ladder" - or wobbly, triple stacked tables - to reach high places.
14) We want to shake hands with children whose hands are razor-blade free!
15) We like our milk un-chunky.
16) Our odds of people puking on us seems less.
17) We deserve it!
Haha. All jokes aside, these are the sorts of things that create a true adventure! From our past experiences, we have learned to laugh off absurdities and embrace the different. And we did that over the holiday. But, like other things, tolerance has an expiration date, too! Recall: I managed to hold off tears until the taxi ride home to our apartment.
Back to reality and I like it! We had a relaxing weekend in our cozy apartment and I can't wait to plan a 5-star experience for us next. Please note how I chose to use the word "experience" as opposed to "adventure". I think we've had our fair share of those for the time being :)
