Then I think what&#8217;s going on? I feel like I&#8217;m in the middle of an airport runway. It&#8217;s so bright in the room. I can&#8217;t sleep with that. I actually had to fear some plane might mistake those lights as a runway and land right in the room. Ok time to investigate. I didn&#8217;t need to turn the regular lamps back on, there was plenty of light. Find out it&#8217;s the hairdryer on the wall with a nightlight attached on the bottom in the vanity area. The sink was kinda setback in the room, but no door to close as the shower\/toilet was separate. But that was no nightlight. It was a searchlight. As smart as I&#8217;m I figured the hairdryer must be plugged in behind the mounting plate. Probably some stupid safety issue. They don&#8217;t want you to unplug it. So I ripped it off the wall (ok I didn&#8217;t :-) I only pushed it upwards and off it was). To my surprise there was nothing behind it. I said to myself: Michael, you dummy it&#8217;s plugged in to the outlet on the wall right next to the dryer. Ok so I tried to fumble it back into the mounting plate (can&#8217;t leave the room trashed like in the movie Hangover :-) I tried for a minute and gave up. I was too tired and figured I&#8217;m going to do it in the morning. At least I managed to close down the airport for one night. Don&#8217;t ask me why I didn&#8217;t turn the lights back on. Now it was dark like in a cave and I had to find my way back to the bed. Luckily I didn&#8217;t bump into any walls or pieces of furniture. You think I could sleep then? No way I was too excited about something I found in the hotel where I&#8217;ll be staying tonight. I saw that on the website and I knew this is the place to get a room. Guess what: They have an indoor pool and there is a nice big long slide. How often do you get that? I love slides. Ha Ha Ha. Sometimes I&#8217;m like a little kid. Yes I did manage to get the dryer attached to the wall in the morning. The things you do when you are tired. I&#8217;m actually laughing about this whole event myself now. It&#8217;s funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So finally I&#8217;m in bed all comfy eyes closed and ready to fall asleep. Then I think what&#8217;s going on?
