Little Tricks for the Traveller...
I went back twelve pages here seeing if there was anything like this...I tried the search option under "Hints, Tips, Tricks" Came up blank....So here goes.
My big trick....
I have been in many a hotel or hostel room in 36 countries. Many of them have leaky faucets....I CANNOT handle that!!! I can't sleep...It's the same with a ticking clock. I won't even GO INTO the night I fought to find a cricket outside my door in Cartagena....
But back to the dripping faucet....
So, a faucet was pounding away dripping in a dilapidated guest house in Placencia Belize. I tried the towel route under the drip first...Sooner or later, the towel (Wafer thin in this joint) soaked through and the drip was back. I was staring at the ceiling, playing old TV eps in my head for something to do.
Then I remembered an episode I saw of CSI from the first season....it dealt with water and string. For some reason, I had brought an old pair of shoelaces from a pair of shoes I dumped just before I left on this six monther. I tied them together and then on to the shower head, exactly in line with the drip....The water slid down the laces and then sloughed off into the drain....No more drip....So if you are drip sensitive, there is the first "Little Trick"
