I always take the fire extinguisher out of my car and carry it in my bag, the batteries come out of my camera I use for FI, I then put them in my 2 smoke detectors I always carry with me. I place one SD in the corridor between my hotel room door and the nearest storey exit and I also place one in my room as I do not have any battery HD yet, (i've been looking for some on ebay). I then get out the fire escape signs photoluminescent of course and place them along my shortest and safest route including any alternative, but as you can imagine this takes a bit of time and you never know some of them may be BS and others could be Eurosigns for petes sake. I also at some point during all this write in my notebook, 'speak to the manager' and if he or she is not available the senior member of staff who is available. Once I have done this I may order room service and after eating well I set about completing the task by taping the entire escape route with photoluminescent tape to afford myself an even better chance of escape. Of course it goes without saying that if I come across an external staircase I will set about removing all of the moss off the handrails and I pay particular attention to each and every step, even if they are a bit slippery I may even wipe them dry with some of the towels from the bathroom, I'm not daft I don't use them all in case I need a shower after all that hard work. Once I have checked the lighting levels with my light meter and made sure the door handle on my bedroom door won't come off in my hand due to poor maintenance I sit down and write my escape plan and post it on the inside of my bedroom door. I'll also try to find time to take my note down to the senior member of staff, if the managers not there, and ask to see the maintenance records for the fire alarm and emergency lighting systems (which I know they already haven't got) but I won't go mad and ask for all the other maintenance records as I don't want them to think I'm being nosey.
However, after all that I wonder why bother, as usually once I've done all that it is usually time for breakfast and I realise whilst my wife has had a really good nights sleep, I however did not.
My doctor has referred me to a very good clinical psychologist .........and I just hope they understand......
