Raleigh/Durham RDU

This might be my favorite airport. Modern, gorgeous. Small enough to get through security quickly--large enough to have a Starbucks, good eats and a secondhand bookstore (thank you to the are colleges and academics, no doubt). The seat configurations in the waiting areas are fantastic AND they all have powerstrips, so no more fighting over the one exposed outlet! The only drawbacks I'm seeing are the fact that some car rentals are offsite and when you return you have to go up an escalator with your luggage to get to the ticketing area (well, you could take the elevator, but in the ideal scenario they are all on the same level. Even still, at least the escalator has widened steps to accommodate luggage. This is a thoughtfully laid-out airport. j'adore j'adore!

Hilton Garden Inn

My Hilton Garden Inn doesn't have regular toiletries, instead they have installed a dispenser with conditioner, shampoo, and soap. One the one hand, I was slightly sad that I couldn't steal the toiletries per usual, especially since they are Neutrogena. But, on the other hand it is certainly more environmentally friendly, and those Neutrogena bottles were a major PIA to open, and I need more conditioner than that for my hair ANYWAY. So, good on you HGI.

Would it be weird to say that I think the material they use for their comforter or sheets causes me to sweat? Has anyone else experienced this?
