but seriously folks...

There are many ways to get busted.  I got busted twice, and both were highly avoidable, my spouse was not even suspicious, at least the first time.

The first time, the hotel sent a bill to my home with phone calls and numbers made by the provider to her home.  (Pre-cell phone days.)  I checked after that to make sure that the hotel doesn't do that any more.

The second time, I parked my big fire engine red Buick right out on Main Street to save on parking in the garage.  That was a big mistake.  The wife saw it, went up to the desk and showed enough ID to convince the clerk she was my wife and she got the room number.  I'll leave the ensuing nightmare scene to you imagination.

I've had one near catch- notes I had been keeping on MS word about providers and phone numbers, I hit print instead of save icon at the top of the program without realizing and wife found it on the printer.  Lesson learned- I don't store anything on the home computer!

What I worry about the most though is three things:

1)  talking in my sleep
2) leaving something out on the counter in my pre-visit preparation before leaving the house
3) the lingo that I am picking up on TER slipping out of my mouth as it becomes more familiar and automatic!

Re: Something else to think of

Once I booked a room somewhere I wasn't supposed to be...and used my Hotel Honors Card by habit...luckily I travel enough that it wasn't noticed but man it was right there in black and white on the statement that month
