  1. 1. Only my 2Exist underwear if I went to a SOPV.
    2. None but in an Asian restaurant, I do like hot and sour soup.
    3. You'll be out of luck here. From Covid on, fresh towels on request. Even before that there were signs that out of concern for the environment, towels would not be changed daily. Concern about the cost more likely. I like finding out how everything in room works. Yes, as a kid I would take a clock apart.
    4. I used to but aside from the brilliant 40X optical camera zoom for distance, my phone mostly does the job.
    5. Four, a medium sized and small suitcase and a medium and small sized backpack.

    2. Yeah, me too... once I got past Solar Park Initiatives, Inc. the stock abbreviation for which is SOPV. Gee, Brits and Aussies can actually by stock in an SOPV; how enlightened!

  2. 1: Is there a mascot, totem, or good luck charm that accompanies you where you go? No.
    2: What is your favorite meal to eat at a restaurant, cafe, or bar? I don't have one (wow, exciting answers so far).
    3: What is your favorite part of staying in a hotel? Just the being away. I could stay in a hotel next door and feel like I've escaped.
    4: Do you carry a camera other than a phone? Rarely, since getting my iPhone 13.
    5: How many pieces of luggage do you own? I think about a dozen, counting carry-on.

  3. 1. Not really. Now and then I'll take Gumby for a photo op. If I remember, or even know where I left him. I've had this Gumby for about 40 years.
    2. I don't know that I do. I have faves at certain places, but not necessarily a favourite meal.
    3. Have spent so much time in hotels, they're just a room to me - for the most part. I do like a view, so always try to get a room with one from wherever I'm staying.
    4. I don't. I still have a FILM camera, but not a digital one.
    5. Three. Roller bag, a big one (which I'm not sure I've used in decades) and a carry-on / weekender bag.

    1. I made my bed at home, once, recently, maybe the third time in 13 years.

      Delete
    2. We, either myself or Carlos, makes our bed every day. And I admit, I like getting into bed at nigh if it's been made up.

  6. 1. Nope. Our perverted plushies would be an embarrassment.
    2. I'm with you, breakfast. I love having someone else fix such a mundane meal.
    3. I love staying in a hotel. I don't have to pretend I'm going to make the bed, or dust, or clean the bathroom. It's actually done in a hotel. I try not to think about those black light thingies. I hate the fixed showerheads though. Nooks and crannies are hard to rinse with those things.
    4. Nope. I don't actually take pictures. It was more fun with film. I always preferred waiting for the results. Balder Half will photograph anything.
    5. I think we own at least four, probably six (I always forget about garment bags )
