When I was backpacking across Europe and Turkey 10 years ago, the one thing I consistently longed for, was a proper bath. A big, fill it up to your neck–bathtub. Now when I travel, every once in awhile I’ll let myself splurge on a night in an inn or B&B that has a big old claw foot tub….and just soak away miles and days of grunge.

Oh way back when in the 70s when I backpacked around Europe, I ended up on my 150 cc Lambretta motorscooter pulling into a campsite out of season in the former Yugoslavia, finding a tree, wrapping my one blanket around me, and sleeping. Desire for comfort begins with what you’re going through, bit by bit, pillow by pillow, and somewhere along the way evolves into hotels symbols in Michelen Guides. (btw, enjoying “Marco Polo Didn’t Go There”).

You’re going soft Colleen. I’m 37 and I’m getting even more militant than ever about my right to sleep in bus stations or walk around all night if that’s what I want to do. FREEDOM!!!!!
