I think if I traveled much more than I do, I would stop liking it so much, but I'm not 100% sure of that. The level I'm at right now is perfect, though. I get all excited every time!

Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even the plain jane national chain nothing special hotels...something about that extra bed in the room and knowing I wasn't cleaning the bathroom.
One thing I do like about hotel rooms is clean sheets every day.

I love quirky hotels, but if not for the need to sleep rather than drive off the road on long trips I'd never set foot in another La Quinta or Holiday Inn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I even like the bleachy sheet smell. I love it about my gym (the block smells of it) and there's a gym on my walk to the office that manages to waft eau-de-industrial-laundry.
Not sure why it appeals so much. I can't possibly be that lazy.

Hi Kristin! Miss you.Miss you too, love. I'm leaving school to pick Joe up at the airport soon. These two things are not connected.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. You know those signs they leave about in hotels, saying, "Help save the environment by not having us wash your sheets every day"? Fuck that. Clean sheets every day are an intrinsic part of the hotel experience, dammit!

I've never gotten tired of looking out an airplane window or seeing new places. It's the airports and the utter sameness of many hotel rooms that get to me now.

I think I've watched too much CSI. Hotel beds skeeve me. Even nice ones.

Our wings are not tired
For me I like the out of town aspect of travel, but what wears me out is that it's away from home. I love seeing new places and even revisiting places. Thing is I miss seeing my friends at home and seeing Kristin, and the cats, and all of those things. It's a tough balance. Right now my career seems to be putting me on a plane a lot. It certainly translates into higher paychecks, but right now I'm just worn out.
