Today I'm reporting from yet another hotel room. Yesterday our office moved yet again to the wonderful city of Lubbock. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you choose to look at it, we won't be able to explore this city as we're flying home tomorrow. Do you hear my inner shouts of joy yet? But as I was inspecting our current living quarters today I read the "In Case of Emergency" instructions posted on our hotel door. Here's what I read:
IN CASE OF FIRE: FEEL YOUR DOOR
If the door is not hot:
1. Open the door. Take a wet towel with you.
2. If hall is smoky, stay low, put a wet towel over your face.
3. Go to the nearest stairway. Go down to the first floor and exit the building.
If the door is hot do not open.
1. Stuff wet towels under the door.
Then what? That's all she wrote! So what do I do after I stuff wet towels under the door? Do I call 911? Do I attempt to break our third story window with the coffee table and throw my child to safety? Do I hide in the bathtub with the shower running? Do I pray to the powers that be that the fire magically passes us by? Needless to say, I was left feeling a little less than prepared...

That's very funny. I'm glad you guys are flying home. Living in a hotel sounds like the pits. I'm sure you will be much happier at home. Do you want to go out again next summer?!
Well that is a little unnerving especially with a little one in tow. We will pray for no fires and a safe return to your home tomorrow. There is no place like home!
Well let me know how that fire escape (or chillin in the bathtub) goes. That is kinda funny... I am SO SO SO happy that you are coming home tomorrow! We need to bbq or something. :)
Glad you've had an eventful summer with so many placed to see. Travel safely home. Tiffany
