If you’re like me and you have sensitive skin, you probably also bring a pillow to every hotel you go to. We travel all the time and if I sleep on one of the hotel pillows, my face breaks out for the next couple days. I know they must use some pretty harsh chemicals to clean all their bedding. So I don’t go anywhere without my own pillow.
However, I once left a very nice pillow in a case that matched a set to my home sheets, at a hotel. And when I called from the road, they couldn’t find it. Upon returning home, I went to the store, bought two “travel-only” pillows and now use these Mickey Mouse pillow cases.
Why two? Because Eric now wants his own pillow too. So we’re always carrying in two pillows along with our luggage (he has to have everything I have…). Now we can’t miss leaving these bright Disney pillows behind. And when the time comes that we are forgetful one early morning on a long trip, we will not fret. We will go to the store, buy another “cheap” pillow and head to the children’s department for the brightest pillow case on sale!
That was a funny post. I often bitch and complain when I have to go back to the van for those pillows. Reading this post reminds me of the times we left our pillow behind. I’m becoming a big fan of Disney.
Hey… that’s your job. Acceptance is the key to happiness.
What a terrific idea, although I hate the fact of carrying in any MORE to my room than I already do. Also manage to always get the second story room that of course, doesn’t have an elevator to shlep all the stuff up there on. Bummer!
Thanks Cathryn! Actually, I just squish it under my arm while I’m carrying all the other stuff! We also get the 2nd floor… it’s called Triple AAA discount room!! LOL.
Thanks for the giggle- good travel tip. Gotta love Mickey pillow cases.
Thanks Janet! When we have been on the road for 10 hours, it’s nice to lighten things up by putting our heads on mickey mouse pillows!
