Article: The “Idiot Check” I Do Before Leaving Any Hotel Room

When we leave, my partner and I always say “cross check” andwe both do a sweeping check throughout the room, bathroom, safe, cupboards, shelves - the whole works and we have never left anything behind.

I always do an idiot check before leaving an accommodation, with good success, but a couple of months ago at the Grand Chancellor Launceston I failed.

I omitted to pick up my small digital travel alarm, and when I got home and discovered the missing item, I thought, well it's only a $10 thing, and just bought another.
