I cannot pack light!! That's just a fact of life!! Anyway, amongst
the many bits and bobs I pack on every holiday, is a small multi-tool.
Not for me to use however - that's a boys' toy, not a girls'!!!
Well, this year it came in handy while staying at the Hilton of all places. The hotel room doors have rigid metal fixtures that lock the door when you're in the room - they're like a security chain but it's a rigid bar rather than a chain. Well, ours didn't work. There's no way it would fit together. So, the boys compared the fittings on both room doors and also on the internal communicating door between our rooms, and discovered that someone had fitted our security thingymabob the wrong way round. So, it was into the case for the multi-tool where they proceeded to use it to take the thing to bits and fit it back on the correct way round!! Hey presto!! It was all working as it should.
I wonder how long it had been like that?
