Staying in different places always is a challenge. One thing we have found that carrying a night light is truly a must.

Don’t Count on the Hotel

  There are a wide variety of hotel. motel, bed & breakfast and other accommodations that have a wide array of different amenities. But there is one problem that is always the same. Stumbling around in a strange, dark room. That may prove hazardous to ones toes, shins, knees and other various body parts.
   Granted, some of the rooms have ambient light from around the curtains or perhaps under the door. But for a mere pittance, we are able to carry a state-of-the-art night light. It provides enough illumination so that we can move about in our room with a relative amount of ease and confidence.

Inexpensive and Effective

   Our night light came from the Dollar Tree.  It comes complete with a 3-watt bulb and a light sensor. That, so that it will remain off during the day and come on when the room becomes sufficiently dark. There have been some times when the light has been almost too bright. I have threatened to find another shield that will more adequately diffuse the light.
  We do have others. We have picked them up at thrift shops and garage sales. They come literally for a dime or a quarter but do not have the light sensor. However, they work every bit as well as the dollar store model.
   The overall message is to be prepared when traveling,  And getting these small gadgets is not a difficult task. For instance, should you be in a room and you can see that overnight lighting will be a problem – a dollar store generally is not too far away and it is a quick and easy purchase of an item that is good to go.
   We are developing a gadget bag for a lot of the things that we carry along with us, and amazingly, we still are able to travel light. Outings can be a lot more fun when you are prepared and a small night light can make the difference in the ability to move about freely – or suffer a bruised shin, stubbed toe or worse – take a fall.
