Go with color and never leave a travel pillow behind

When Carol W. Grantham of Augusta, Ga., stays at a hotel, she brings her own pillow and has this advice: Put a colored pillowcase on it. That way, “it does not blend in with the white linens and you are less likely to leave it behind,” she writes. Sweet dreams!

    This is an excellent way to bring bedbugs back to your own home!  This is exactly what happened to me a few years ago,  altho the bugs didn’t get into our house b/c I am aware of how common they are now.  I brought my pillow into the house, took off the pillowcase and shook it out over  the kitchen sink and a bedbug dropped out.  We had stayed at a nice midrange hotel in Orlando, FL.

    If you take your own pillow, you should keep it and the linens out of the house until you can wash the linens (hot water), and either put the pillow in the freezer for a couple weeks or in a black garbage bag in a hot car for a few days (temp should get to above 130).  If you use a tightly zipped pillow cover under your pillow case you PROBABLY don’t need to go thru freezing or cooking.

    I still travel with my own pillow, but I am very careful about it!

    Never take your pillow to a hotel.  There is a epidemic of bedbugs, which you will take home with you, along with your pillow.

      Posted on The new Zune browser is surnpisirgly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    I did that pillow thing for years;   We quit travelling several years ago.  Rooms not clean, bed bug problems all over the country.  We traveled a lot over the years, but we quit for good.  Just thankful we did travel when times were better and gas was cheap.

Cross Countyr Skiing, Ice Fishingwinter walks on the ice.When I was eating a York Burger at the Friendly York Bar, the owner Dave showed us that the York Peppermint Patty is now made in China instead of York Pa. No More for me. Check the back to see if it is an old expired one from York PA or a new freshie from Commie Chi Com.I love good pillows too.
