Fran,

I just returned from a 4 day trip to Florida. I'm glad I saw this after I returned and not before. Otherwise, I would have been paranoid.

I never use hotel glasses. I'll use the cups wrapped in plastic.

For much of my career, I spent between 120 and 200 nights per year in hotels. They are all nasty.....even the really "nice" ones.

Well, you know to never touch the bedspread, right? :o How often do you think they get washed? Just don't take a blacklight to the room. :)

Yup, it's all "bad". For nearly 20 years now I have been living over half my life in dirty campsites, motels and hotels. So far so good. After reading this thread I may prefer the campsites.
