... at your favorite major hotel!
This one is the result of a team effort. But most of the credit goes to Korky Vann. She threw this one at us over dinner.
5 If you leave your cell phone charger at home when you're travelling, check in with the front desk at your hotel. More often than not, they'll have a replacement for you. Korky says the chargers are one of the most common things people leave behind in hotel rooms.
In light of this tip, it seems almost appropriate that I left my charger back in St. Pete. To be completely honest, I lost it months ago, and have since been relying on the charger I keep in my car. Maybe the Hilton can help me out?
Debbie, a front desk staffer at the Hartford Hilton, delivers bad news. She knows the hotel staff saves the chargers they find. But as luck would have it, she doesn't know where they are.
Up until a few days ago, Debbie says, there were roughly 40 chargers sitting in a box behind the front desk.
I leave my room number and hold out hope that the morning crew will be able to track down this box.
I'll keep you posted.
If you're looking for a slightly more responsible solution, buy some extra chargers in advance. That's what
Washington Post reporter and book author
Rajiv Chandrasekaran says he does. Check out
Amazon for super-cheap generic chargers.
Until further notice, reaching me by cell phone will be impossible.
Coming soon >>> The cell phone charger hunt continues. Breakfast.
