Tip 109: Check That Clock Radio!

"After a tiring cross-country flight, long line at the car rental counter,
trip to our B&B and then a leisurely dinner, we collapsed into bed, vowing to sleep luxuriously late," writes tipster Joyce Siegel of Bethesda. No such luck. The radio alarm woke us at 6 a.m.; obviously, the previous tenant of our room needed to awaken early.
"After that experience, I always check the radio alarm to ensure that it
isn't set and won't disturb me."
Sometimes the best travel tips are the most obvious. Too bad Siegel had to learn the hard way, but we're sending her a Washington Post Travel section T-shirt by way of consolation. Want to share a travel tip of your own? Wake up to the tiny type below.
