Where is the funniest/strangest place you have "dozed off" I can doze of on busses and passenger seats of other vehicles easily enough. But when I was in the Air Force, I had a colleague who could doze off ANYWHERE. Especially since we were on the midnight shift. While working on the Air Force's navigator trainer (a B737), he went to sleep STANDING up in the entry way of an aircraft. One of my coworkers found him. The coworker slid past him and activated the aircratft's stall warning horn test button as the rest of us looked on. The guy asleep woke up with the biggest start I've ever seen....

Where is the funniest/strangest place you have "dozed off" ? We went camping during a draught. During the evening it started to rain so hard the camp flooded the tent was washed out. Everyone piled into the truck to escape the rain. It was so cramped, I crawled out, put a blanket over me and slept in about 4 inches of water with my head propped up on a rock. I was a little dirty and wrinkled in the morning, but was the only one that slept. Maybe not the safest thing to do, but you reach a point of fatigue that you don't care.

What is your favorite non traditional travel tip ?
When looking for a hotel go to their web site and check for restaurants, etc in the area. If you see national chains it's probably a good place to stay. If their site doesn't give this info go to Google maps, find the hotel and ask for restaurants in the city. You can then see what is around the hotel. This has worked 99% of the time for us.

Favorite non traditional travel tip? If you're in a city, explore. Rent a car and drive, drive, drive - don't even follow a map except to find your way back. Or take a bus, the rail, a taxi or walk. It's amazing the things you'll discover just wandering around.
