Trying an overnight

posted on May 22, 2007 by leah.jones

In my last post, I asked if you would rather take an overnight trip or go there and back in one day. After a few there/back trips to NYC, I'm sitting in the O'Hare airport waiting for a flight to Newark.

I have a meeting tomorrow morning at 9:30. While I'm sure there was an option to go in the morning and return tomorrow night, it would have included a pretty early wake-up call. So I'm sitting here with my computer and a book, but no luggage.

I checked it. As much as it pains me to check luggage, it was more painful to find the right plastic baggie this morning and repack my toiletries. Last August I made a few "always stay in the overnight bag" purchases. The not-so-new requirements would mean a reallocation of my shampoo, conditioner, etc. I decided it would be easier to just check it all.

Have you decided which you prefer? A night in a hotel with cable TV (a treat for a luddite like me) or a night at home staring your chores in the face?
