Happy Saturday friends, and hooray, it’s finally the weekend! Here’s a recap of what’s gone on at YMMV this week. From what we’ve written to what others wrote that we really liked and wanted to share, it’s all here, in one convenient place!

Look! Up In The Sky! It’s A Coke Plane! It’s A Pepsi Plane! It’s…
I was on the shuttle bus from my hotel to JFK. I was sharing it with a very friendly group of three people including a husband, a wife, and another adult female. All middle-aged. They had stayed, as they told me, at our hotel for one night as an overnight stop between Paris and their home in Fort Myers. They didn’t fly that far very often, so they wanted to break the trip up a little.
They were getting off at Terminal 2 since they were taking Delta. As we got closer to the terminal, the husband, who was looking out the window, suddenly said, “Oh, look! It’s the Coca-Cola plane!”
I was on the other side of the aisle, so it was a little harder for me to figure out which plane he was referring to from my vantage point, but if a plane had gotten a new livery with Coke as the theme, like the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour Plane had in 2014, I wanted to get a picture of it, figuring Joe might want to see it.

Has Anyone Else Noticed This About The TWA Hotel?
Joe’s in New York for two weeks on a business trip so instead of trying to surprise him again by just showing up (I never would have been able to top this), we planned that I would join him for part of the trip.
His hotel is right near JFK, so in the interest of convenience, that’s the airport I flew into. My flight was in the mid-afternoon and I hadn’t had dinner, so when I landed, we decided to check out one of the restaurants at the still-relatively-newly opened TWA Hotel.
I won’t go into a whole lot about the TWA Hotel just yet, mainly because we’re staying there for two nights in December, and I’m sure we’ll have plenty to say then. For now, suffice to say that I don’t think you can take a bad picture of the place ;-).
I had posted a bunch of photos I had taken of the hotel onto Facebook, and all of a sudden, I got a bunch of replies about one in particular.

The One Thing I Wish Hotel Housekeeping Would Stop Doing
From a combination of work and leisure trips, I’m well on my way to spending more nights in hotels this year than ever before. Staying away from home so much has led me to try and make my hotel room feel more “homey”. I’ll unpack things right away, keep my stuff organized instead of just throwing it all over the room, as well as bring more toiletries than I used to carry with me.
The last one of those is due to me never being sure if the hotel I’m staying at will have individually sized or bulk dispensers of soap and shampoo. Therefore, I’m more likely to bring my own items from home, including bringing my own small soaps with me from my vast collection.
This brings me to my most recent travel pet peeve.
