Hotels

It is a bit daunting to think that I have spent 4 of the last 8.5 years living out of a hotel.  I did some math/calculations today once I received some Year End updates from Marriott and Hilton on my stays this year.  I am down to a record low since 2005, 107 nights in a hotel in 2012.  I still find this to be incredibly high for my job position and pinged a few coworkers in the same position as me to find out the second highest traveling Project Manager hit a measly 68 days in a hotel this year.

My goal for 2013 is less than 60 nights in a hotel.  I can't hate on it too much, I haven't paid for a hotel for the multiple weddings I've been in over the last few years (also hooked up some family members with rooms) or anytime I hit up Vegas, Toronto or Florida.  But for some reason lately, I'm realizing the dirtiness and weirdness of staying in a place that thousands of other people stay and my high number of nights in a hotel is completely freaky and abnormal.  Some people go years without even staying in a hotel or max out at like 3 nights per year.

Plus now I'm getting old and out of shape, with a tendency to enjoy TV/movies and sleeping more than taking advantage of a hotel and traveling.  Needless to say this 30 going on 31 in 2.5 months (Real Age calculation of 38 turning 39) doesn't have this stuff happen anymore.  R.I.P Rugged.
