Yesterday morning I entered the bathroom to brush my teeth. I went for my tooth brush that was sticking out of my dopp kit. Right as I laid my hand on the brush a cockroach ran down the handle and into my bag. Yikes, they move fast! I took a breath and said to myself, you just need to accept things like this. You are staying at a nice hotel in the middle of the desert.  I zipped my bag shut (blocking the escape route) and walked out onto the veranda, sure enough when I unzipped the bag he came scurrying out. I almost missed him but the story ends with a satisfying crunch on the tile.

OK, so we are in a new hotel not in the desert. Can you believe this toilet paper display? We’re afraid to go the bathroom. Also the Kleenex presents certain challenges.
