I tend to be a bit disorganized when it comes to note taking. Almost everything I jot down is on hotel notepads. But I didn’t realize just how bad my collection was. Below is a picture of the eight notepads I’ve written on today. And that’s not even the beginning of my notepad collection (and don’t even ask about my hotel pen collection)….
At least I’m consistent. 😉

@Craig Hmmm... Certainly wouldn't say any of my travels were "off the beaten path." Although, if you follow the patterns of Lucky, and obviously you do or you wouldn't be so defensive, then "off the beaten path" to either of you would roughly translate as any hotel other than an InterContinental and any drink other than a Diet Coke. ;) I read the blog to consume different points of view and not to agree with everything I read. Perhaps Lucky only meant for the blog to be read by those whom will agree and happily lap up everything he writes? Like, um, Craig and Eric? No. I doubt it. And I'm assuming the "Comments" section is, well, golly, for just that? Apply any labels you want based on information you've somehow gleaned from an internet handle. Run with it as that's likely the only argument you can make. ;)
Craig: Thanks for the mention of the Backpacker blog. I had never heard of it, and it appears to be very amusing!
MoiMoi = Troll
Oh, yeah, the hotel swag...I have pads, pens, toiletries (I don't think I've actually bought a bar of soap in a couple of years), and a couple of ashtrays from back in the day when hotels put their logo and phone number on the side and actually wanted you to take them. My favourite "do not disturb" tag is the one I have from the Hard Day's Night hotel in Liverpool, "I've had a hard day's night" on one side, and just "Help!" on the other. Yes, the hotel milks the Beatles theme for all its worth, but the staff is very friendly and the service is quite good. @MoiMoi - If you hold Lucky's travel style in such disdain, why do you read the blog? One of the big themes of the blog is program loyalty and how Lucky uses those programs to his advantage. And let's be honest, at the end of the day, hotel rooms are for sleeping in, they all have the same elements arranged in roughly the same way. It's what you do outside the room that counts. As for the Diet Coke...it's a caffeine delivery device. Some of us just don't drink coffee. And not everything on a trip needs to be an "experience", a beverage is just a beverage. Have you ever read "The Backpacker" blog on the Sydney Morning Herald's website? There's a recurring theme about the "Travel Wanker", they type of self-proclaimed "traveler" who goes about bragging about how "unique" and "off the beaten path" and "authentic" his travel experiences are and how mundane the rest of us are. Or, in other words, is a pompous git. You, "MoiMoi" ("Me, Me"...sort of says it all, doesn't it?) are a Travel Wanker.
Too funny. Guess we can tell your favorite hotel brand...
