I’m talking about those big wall unit air conditioners of most interstate hotels
Other than taking a cross country trip one summer during college, I’ve not really been much of a road tripper. I have primarily relied on airlines to get me where I need to be. My work necessitates that I travel a good deal. So there are many, many airline points that I accrue. So when I get a break from the zone controlled HVAC of the office, I generally have flown to my vacation spots. Well that all changed last year during the pandemic. Not only was I not flying for business, I wasn’t flying at all. And even though the planes are equipped with HEPA filters, I’m still not all that easy with flying. However, the company still needs me to travel to take care of and meet with clients. This led to me actually getting out on the road for much of the past year. Traveling by road takes longer and so I’m away far more. However, there are positives. I love the heating and cooling comfort of my car. This is far superior to any of the planes I’ve been on in over a decade. I also liked the time I spent working through business in my mind while I drove. I’m finding that this is a big key that I have been missing out on. Not enough quiet time to strategically think through business. I also found that the HVAC equipment that I can see from the hotel parking lot is the most consistently comfortable. I’m talking about those big wall unit air conditioners of most interstate hotels. There wasn’t a single night that I ever had an HVAC concern in those places.
