She explained how the pod worked on a plastic mockup of the control panel and then off I went. The concierge handed me a kit that contained socks, ear plugs, a remote control for the television, a key to my locker/pod and a panic button. They were obviously well aware that most pod hotel sleepers would arrive in one of the following conditions: exhausted, agitated, aggravated. When I got to the pod which by the way was in the same terminal I arrived and departed from, I was greeted by a compassionate and kind staff. ![]() I rented a space in the iZZZleep capsules in Terminal 1. I’m not sure what excited me more, the novelty of the pod or the napping opportunity. Done the sleeping on the terminal floor… so many times. These days, I love sleep. I’m also beginning to come to terms with the fact that I’m not a 25-year old backpacker anymore and I don’t feel like it makes me more of a badass, intrepid, hardcore traveler to sleep awkwardly in transit Been to that filthy, cheap hostel. Just short enough not to warrant a hotel stay but long enough that trying to get cozy on those cold hard airport chairs under fluorescent lights and being woken up to security announcements every 15 minutes would be brutal. I was also pretty peeved when I realized that the resort flying me in booked me on a redeye with a 7 hour layover. In fact, it was the most hectic and stressful six weeks I could remember. I had just a 24hour stop in Montreal before it was on to the next gig. ![]() I had just come off an insane six weeks of damage control and problem solving. BUT I DID FEEL REFRESHED, WELL RESTED AND EXCITED ABOUT THE JOURNEY ONWARD TO EL SALVADOR!
