There are some really good ideas here. I'd definitely get rid of that vertical blinds...those blinds always make places look old and depressing.

This reminds me...we took a small family vacation to Cape May and booked a hotel with a kitchen. I planned and brought all my ingredients for numbers of meals i will be preparing. what a letdown it was when we got there and discovered a huge local supermarket right in the middle of the town..walking distance to our hotel. oh well.

People are often in different mood when they are traveling so it's much easier to open up and say yes to everything!
When I was in Bali, there were a few of very conservative looking mid aged travelers from Australia seating next to us at a restaurant. We ended up talking to them. In the beginning they seem a bit shy but after awhile, they couldn't stop talking about all the cool adventures they had including bunch jumping. One of the guys said, 'after a few Bintang(Indonesian beer), I just jumped out'
