I also like the LED book light. <br /><br />The bathroom will be the next challenge to overcome. I have a little more time to think about it before my next trip. I will call the hotel ahead of time, but want to have a plan B ready - just in case too.MigrainePuppethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678393922494152377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992198378673026710.post-26888689640356537712011-05-06T13:16:26.679-04:002011-05-06T13:16:26.679-04:00I used to carry an LED book light with me, though ...I used to carry an LED book light with me, though of course that doesn't provide enough light to use in the bathroom of a hotel. I often call ahead to request incandescent bulbs; invariably, when I arrive no one at the receptionist's desk knows what I'm talking about. I use it as a chance to educate people a little bit about migraine disease, so even if I feel a little embarrassed, at least some good's coming out of it!<br /><br />I always have a box of light bulbs in my trunk for when I'm on road trips. :)themigrainegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727504452739993888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992198378673026710.post-19697101949858689742011-05-01T08:04:58.052-04:002011-05-01T08:04:58.052-04:00Winny - I'll have to look into the travel cloc...Winny - I'll have to look into the travel clock/light option. I like the dual purpose of it especially since I always like to use two alarms when I am away anyway. I thought the TSA might think a broken light bulb could be used as a weapon and that they may confiscate it before hand. I'll call the hotel now that I am aware that they are all changing over to the CFLs too. Thanks for your 'bright' ideas!MigrainePuppethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678393922494152377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992198378673026710.post-73307224758401921952011-04-30T11:48:44.732-04:002011-04-30T11:48:44.732-04:00Migrainista, because I travel a lot, and it looks ...Migrainista, because I travel a lot, and it looks like you back in the saddle again, I call ahead when the reservations have been made and let them know ahead of time. It is not uncommon for special requests like "bed boards" under the mattress to be made, so they surely would try to "prep" your room before you got there. If they forget it is no problem, just deal with it as you have been. Another option is carrying your own reading lamp/light - some travel clocks include them?? I have used my laptop monitor like a nightlight before. I think a light bulb if not on carryon might get squished....WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.com
