Hotel Rooms

I went away for a few days vacation and stayed at a hotel, which freaks me out because of the germs and sleeping in the same spot that someone else slept in. I've learned to bring the disinfectant wipes with me so I can clean the door knobs, toilet, etc...I did all of that the past two days and I felt better about staying there, but once it came time to sleep, I layed awake for hours! I didn't fall asleep the first night until 4:30 and I had gotten into bed around 12:00.

I had all of these thoughts going through my mind about breathing in other people's germs. Ironically we went to visit my cousin who lives nearby and he offered for us to stay at his place, but we already booked the hotel. He's also got OCD and is particular about germs, so I should have stayed there! I would have felt a hell of a lot cleaner!

It's hard going on vacation because sometimes you just can't have fun b/c of the germ problems. We went to the arcade and I played a few games, I couldn't wait to get home and wash my hands b/c I had forgotten my hand sanitizer.

Anyway I was just wondering if any of you have had the same thoughts towards germs?

Did it ever occur to you that there may be just as many germs in your cousin's house as the hotel?

Of course, but I know my cousin not the hundreds of other people who have slept in those beds lol

Gosh it was really bad. My husband and I went away for a few days this week, aside from the few days I told you about, and we had to be switched to another room because of how bad it smelled in our first room. We got home today and I did laundry right away because even the clothes we didn't wear smelled like smoke. Unfortunately the motel didn't have smoking/non-smoking.

Most people call me crazy anyway so I don't mind...
