Almost exactly one year ago, I created this post: Don’t let the bed bugs bite.
It was a fun photo essay showing most of the ‘beds’ I’d slept in during my travels around the world. Well, I still haven’t slept in my own bed since September 2006 so now it’s time for a second installment. I’ve slept in trains, on air mattresses, in dorm room bunk beds, on futons, in kids former bedrooms, under mosquito nets, with a few friendly kitties, and a few friendly humans.
This time you may notice less hotels and hostels and more homey looking beds and couches thanks to Couchsurfing. Oh, and for the record, I was never bitten once by bed bugs. Time to start counting sheep…baaaaaaaaah.

I looked at each picture several times. None of them look familiar to me.

What a great collection – the thought of having a photo of every place you stay is something I wish I’d done.

I love this! I wish I’d done the same. I’ve kept lists of all the different people we’ve stayed with (almost 50 not counting hotels, hostels, etc) over the last 2 years, but never took photos.
As for Couchsurfing: I’m now doing Twitter updates for them. It’s @couchsurfing and you can read more abt it on my blog at http://thefutureisred.typepad.com/onedayatatime/2009/05/couchsurfing-twitters.html
Great to be in touch with you LL!
