-Ralph-

You'll get fat. Full breakfast every morning, restaurant meal every evening, and beer every night.

Oh and you'll spend all Sunday afternoon ironing your clothes and putting them straight back in your suitcase ready for the next week.

Buy some supplies - coke, water, biscuits, etc, nothing but tea and coffee in your room, you'll miss having your kitchen to hand as you do at home.

Sitting on a bed to watch the telly is f'ing uncomfortable, if you can find a room with mini living room (ie: chair or sofa, coffee table, decent size telly, etc) then try to get the staff to give you that room every week. Also buy a TV guide.

Eating at a table for one is horrible, in a busy restaurant is horrible.

Make sue you have a good mobile phone package with plenty of free calls.

The novelty will wear off soon enough!
