Certain segments of society clean plastic tools in the coffee pots with hot water. That's why the hotels are going to single cup brewers. And don't ever put ice in a hotel ice bucket without a plastic liner.

What kind of food do you carry? I'm curious.

Buy it on the road, you should be fine then.

I'm not a hater, but if you think that a normal person making less than $27,000 a year is going to cook salmon in that petri dish of filth that is a Holiday Inn express coffee maker, you're out of your freaking mind.

Coffee pot? More like a p1sspot. You know how it's hard to find the restroom in the middle of the night? Just use the coffee pot!

Kidding.

You kid, but I've seen that too. Also witnessed **** in the sink, bathtub, and those glass tumblers in the bathroom! The Comfort Inn in San Salvador is definitely not a place you want to fix dinner in the coffee pot, or use any items in the room for food/beverage, that is.

Anybody else put some cheese between 2 slices of bread from the breakfast bar, wrap it up in some aluminum foil and use the iron in the room to make a grilled cheese sandwich? Good to do if you have a latter show.

That's why I carry a coffee cup in my lunch bag to heat up a can of ravioli and have my own eating utensils.

Lots of leftovers from when the girlfriend cooks. This trip I had pasta, homemade pizza, and tortilla soup. Three yogurts and three power bars for breakfast. I also pack deli turkey and cheese along with bread or rolls to make sandwiches. Also a jar of peanut butter to make a sandwich or two. Chips to go along with the sandwiches. Cookies for desert.

I go out to dinner if nothing in my bag entices me at the time, but for the most part that will last all four days and it all fits in the LW crew cooler.
