Seriously- what do y’all do in a hotel all day. Other than read, work out, or watch tv. I’m talking about the hotels that don’t have anything nearby to explore.

Pornhub, Youporn, etc. Ask for extras of those little hand towels BEFORE going up to your room upon check-in. Trust me.

Little hand towels? Are you shooting water droplets?

Go get the big towels.

I do things like this quite a bit. A lot of hiking (Mailbox peak SEA/ Cactus to clouds PSP) or general exploring. Walk everywhere usually 15-20k steps a day getting to/from coffee and lunch etc. As others have said, there is typically something good within reach, just need to find it.

I walk everywhere as well. I’ve walked from LGA to Times Square and back, LAX to Huntington Beach and back, PHL to downtown Delaware River and back. Lots of other big 10-20 mile walks all over the country. Walked from SJU to Old San Juan and back. MIA downtown to South Beach and back.

The perspective that you gain on a location and otherwise is great, and it burns 4-6 hours. The only time I ever got moderately nervous was getting back later than planned in Philly, but that was also due to having to play a little Frogger on the expressway to get back to the hotel.

Go find a Top Golf and smash some balls.

Rent a motorcycle and have a harrowing experience in the Hollywood Hills. 😳

Update your FedEx app.

Try something new like a fishing charter. Something you might never do at home. Enough time to do things might be rare, but it happens. If you’re at a wholly owned, you can afford it.

Marathons of My 600lb Life and Hoarding: Buried Alive. It's sad to see, but you'll feel a lot better about your life and the choices you made.

Hello fellow walker! After hearing from a friend about The Great Saunter in NYC, I’ve taken up “urban hiking” on layovers with the hope of one day doing the Great Saunter in NYC. Not all hotels I had during Layovers at the regionals were ideal (ie: truckstop hampton inns, anywhere in mississippi, etc) but when I get a long layover now in a mid-sized city and get to stay near/in downtown usually there are urban nature trails that link neighborhoods together and it really can be a joy to go for miles while balancing the battery life of my airpods and iphone knocking out my favorite podcasts. Stopping along the way for lunch or dinner, pausing to just sit on a park bench and people watch. Popping in and out of local shops and taking time to read the historical markers along the way and not feeling guilty about a stop at an Icecream parlor on the way back to the hotel. Most of my crew colleagues look at me like i’m crazy when the next morning I say I walked 8+ miles on the layover, but it goes both ways. They brag about having binge watched a netflix series. Okay

When I flew corporate, this was pretty close to my normal routine. But since joining a regional, it s rare that I find myself wanting to do that. Locations suck.
