A few of the bloggers I read are headed to BlissDom in March and have been talking about how excited they are, what they are packing, who their roommates are going to be, etc. And I started thinking, wait, what? Roommates? Sharing rooms? Is that mandatory??? Because if it is, umm, looks like I will never ever be attending a conference. Never ever. Ever.
I don’t want to share a hotel room with someone. No offense to anyone(*), but it’s sooooo not me. I like (and need) my space. And after spending an entire day in a room full of energetic and enthusiastic female bloggers or crafters or whatever kind of conference I was at, I am pretty sure I would need some down time. And some wine. And I want that bed and all those towels I don’t have to wash or pick up all to myself. Now don’t get me wrong, B and I do share hotel rooms (LOL), but we are married and I don’t feel the need to be on my most social behavior when I am with him (in fact, he prefers that I am not)!
So I gotta know, what do you think about sharing hotel rooms with girlfriends? Or even fellow bloggers you “know” but have never actually met? I do see how that sounds fun and all, but it’s not my kind of fun. At least not for more than one night anyways! I think I could handle (and enjoy) one night. But anything more than that and I need my own room. Am I alone in this? And have you ever been to a blogging conference? Which one? BlisDom? BlogHer? Something else? Tell me everything!!
I have a girlfriend that I’m currently traveling some with. She’s my fellow con goer 🙂 and we share a room pretty good. I do know some of my friends that I don’t think I could share with and I want my own bed if its not family with me so some of the people who pile all into one room uhm no thank you. I know on some of my con boards they are putting 6 people in a room and they only “know” each other online. Thats a little too close for comfort for me. I think what works with my friend and me is that we’ve known each other since we were 11 years old so we can act ourselves and not have to always be at our bests. 🙂
Hmmm. I have never shared a hotel room with friends, or I guess I have but it’s been a LONG time so I barely remember. Nowadays, I would for sure want my own bed. Maybe I could do it for 1 or 2 nights, but here’s the thing. I snore. I know I snore because my husband doesn’t miss an opportunity to tell me that I snore. Never mind that he snores too, but ANYWAY…I’d definitely rather have my own room. I personally can pretty much sleep through anything, but I’d hate to disrupt a room mate’s sleep. Nonetheless, if some kind of awesome opportunity came up that necessitated room sharing, I might consider it, but I prefer solo.
