I even asked the staff for a different room, I was informed that unfortunately due to the tropical weather, humidity lingers inside all of the rooms, so the only people who even notice the odors are those who arrive from outer climates. The local people have just become so accustomed to it that they don’t notice it as abnormal. Sure enough, the second and third rooms they allowed me to poke my head into had the same aroma. The open-air areas of the hotel, such as the lobby, the restaurant, etc, do not suffer that plight, only the rooms and meeting areas, because they remain closed up for more than half the day every day. ~ less

**Once again, decades ago I’m sure I may have used a hotel phone to make a local call. ***Please don’t tell Just Asking; I would rather not hear all the nagging again. Sheesh.~ less

I’m on a plane right now, it’s still boarding, and a passenger near me is chowing down on the most delicious-smelling Asian stir-fry possible. That’s what prompted this question. I seem to remember that some airlines may have attempted to institute rules against passengers carrying off-site food aboard flights in a bid to gouge a captive audience into paying the ransom on curbing hunger, but that nonsense was struck down. ~ less

I used to be able to see the golden dome of Notre Dame University from the tollway. Also traffic was reasonable coming and going back. A few years ago my wife and I went to see her cousin near Waukegan, WI. The traffic was so bad around Chicago, it took over an hour to get around it. Also, the trees along the highway blocked the view of the dome. Disappointing.
