Isn't that weird, you wouldn't be without them and I would never use them. Now from that one side or the other needs to decide which of us represents "most" people so we can put it in our article, or maybe we should just leave it at "to each his own" and not try to draw conclusions.
PS, traveling and staying are two different things - You could not "honestly" say you made the right choice if you were staying at some of the places we do in the same weather, you would just be justifying your purchase.
