On being Catholic in the Bible Belt | Main | A Travel Tip from Beth

I learned something new this morning
When traveling, check to be sure the clock in your hotel room is set correctly.
Earlier this morning, I woke up just enough to glance at the clock, and it was 6:45! My wake up call didn't happen, or so I thought. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, jumped out of bed and started getting ready for work.
Then the phone rang. It was my 5:30 am wake up call. The clock was well over an hour off.
Not only did this cause an unreasonable jump in blood pressure, but I lost sleep because of this!

I got myself a wonderful travel alarm clock by Atomic Time - it's always on time in the 48 contiguous. It's a wonderful thing.
I bought it after we went down to Daytona to check out Embry-Riddle College, when my son was trying to decide what to do. The hotel there had NO CLOCKS in the room. When I enquired about this, they looked at me like I was NUTS. Took me a while to figure out that Daytona, being the Spring Break city, probably gave up on all small electronics in their rooms - but sheesh, I wish I'd known!
