Hotels in Zambia

Okay guys. If you ever walk into a hotel room and see "decorations" hanging above the bed like these in the picture... you may not be the only one occupying the room for the night. Now you may think I am joking, but the only reason for that is you have never slept in a net wrapped around your whole bed and tucked under the mattress. This way no spiders, mosquitos or beetles can get into your bed and bite you. Word of caution though... check your net throughly, if you have hole in net, then they will find the hole and get into your bed. Also, make sure when you prepare the net around the bed, you don't trap a "friend" in the bed with you. That would be a horrible experience! Since I am rooming with Survivor Man himself, Mike Priest, I decided to watch his approach on handling this "friend" situation. First he turned the A/C onto "stun" mode... according to "MIKE", mosquitos don't like it cold. Which explains why they live in Zambia, which is hot and humid. Mike also gave me the suggestion to not "trap" the friends in the bed with me and check the bed for any spiders. Now, that is weird, and here is why. When camping, I expect bugs and stuff to crawl in the tent, etc. But when you are at a nice hotel, they DON'T belong there!!! So checking my foam bed, with comforter and "throw" pillows for bugs is just beyond me. Honey, looking forward to this experience with you in the future.
So you get in your sleeping clothes, spray deet all over your body, pull down your sheets and check for bugs, tuck the net around 90% of the mattress, climb through that hole left, tuck the final 10% so your enclosed, get into bed and fall asleep with "no worries". Fun times in Africa!!!
