Room servicing has changed through our lockdowns, although most hotels have now got back to full room service without having to request it. It was also an option during the Covid times to choose for your room not to be serviced.

We mostly use the term rucksack but sometimes we say backpack instead. Yes they are the same thing.

Trousers are needed to walk up a narrow castle keep so no skirt for me that day. Hower the skirt works will with city steps, it doesn’t dangle on the ground or steps as I walk.

*hugs*

We have found that when we travel, they’ve now gone to telling us upfront that there’s no housekeeping services unless you ask. Not sure what that’s about. I think it’s since COVID and they just kept it like that, but they’re supposed to tell you. For us, that’s actually a good thing because of our dogs, we call them when they’re properly crated/corralled.

On a better note, my Mark has a very similar hat to your Mark’s – except it’s Spartan green for his beloved Michigan State University

He absolutely loves that hat – keeps the sun off, but also comfortable, doesn’t make his head/brow perspire quite as much or other hats, he says. Well, I guess I should just say “sweat,” men “sweat,” we “perspire.” lol

I lol-ed at the turtle walk. Or maybe like a camel with that rucksack? (I had to look up “rucksack” because we call it a backpack here, and I thought it was the same, but wanted to double-check lol.)

Don’t tell me you turtle-walked in that pretty skirt, did you? If so, you’re my hero. Trying to keep the skirt from flying every which way and getting dirty AND climbing up on all fours with a rucksack/backpack is no easy feat!

Love you …
