We all sort of know that hotels like to add annoying little extras to our bills that we're generally too polite to dispute.
Joe McInerney, president of the American Hotel and Lodging Association would like to make it clear, though, that fees for incidental services represent a 'miniscule amount of revenue'
So, in that case, they must be doing it just to annoy us..
You're not kidding, when a guest at the hotel where I do the audit came down screaming at me in Hebrew because of her 1200.00 phone bill, I wanted to laugh at her stupidity. I didn't because I hate to see a woman cry.
My name is Raheel Ramzanali and I am the producer for the Ken Hoffman show on 1560 The Game in Houston, TX. I came across your blog Sod Abroad (and I do appreciate your humor and work) and I wanted to ask if you are available for an interview to promote the book and your blog. The show is on-air every weekday from 12-2pm CST. Please let me know if we can work something out. Thank you for your time! Please e-mail me at rramzanali at gmail dot com.
OK, it's not absolutely certain that you'll lose your bags, catch a fatal bout of food poisoning or be unjustly banged up in a foreign jail while you're on holiday. But you might. Why would any sane person risk it?
Holidays aren't economical, there's not exactly ecological, and they're not guaranteed to be all that much fun. There's only one way a holiday can go right (the flannel in the brochure) and hundreds of different ways that the holiday can go wrong (the flannel in my book)
With travel tips, handy warnings, and lists of great stuff you can only do at home Sod Abroad will help you kick the holiday habit.
Instead, why don't you just spend a lovely fortnight on your sofa, in your own comfy home, watching your own telly and eating food you can actually pronounce.
Who knows? If there's nothing on telly you can even read a book....
Like practically everyone else you meet on the internet, I'm sort of writer. I've written a couple of books. I write for some newspapers, and I write a lot of stuff about the telly. This is that stuff.

I also don't speak Hebrew and had to ask her to speak a language I do speak
