I agree, those are excellent tips. I usually have one of the hotel staff
show me to my room the first time, but I never thought of asking for all
those details.
This time was different. My coworker said, "Oh, I'll walk with you to your
room." She did, but then I felt awkward asking all those questions of her,
so I just sorted most of it out myself.
Next time, I think I'll handle it differently, but I'll have to figure out
how.

Dear Shelley,
Those are great tips from a veteran traveler.
Who do you ask where your dog should go pottie?
Always with love,
