The thread title is flashlights.......not just UPS'ers who use flashlights. The Hammer has always packed little flashlights....the mag kind whenever we go on a trip.
That really paid off one time. We went to Puerto Rico to spend a couple of days there before our Caribbean cruise. There was a hurricane the night before our arrival. There was no power when we checked in at the hotel.
They made a cold cuts, fruit & veggie buffet for a lunch. We had a flashlight to see the food better.....there was only candlelight otherwise. It was handy in the A.M. I didn't have to do my hair in the dark......of course, no hair dryer, but I could see what I was combing.
Hotel rooms can be very dark when it's night out. There were generator lights in the hall, but I didn't want my door open and someone robbing me.
