Thanksgiving’s over, and hopefully the lower-back pain from the bar in the sofabed has worked itself out. Did you know that a new survey from Hotels.com says that nearly 65 percent of us miss hotels when we’re with family at the holidays?

Little soaps were a big deal, as was internet access. Only 2 percent missed the minibar. That makes sense, at least to me: at our family gatherings, you can always count on plenty of free liquor. Out of big bottles, not little ones.
