We didn't need to take any kitchen items at all, although if you're staying
for more than a few nights you might want to take some washing up liquid and extra dishwasher tablets.
When I was a little kid, I spent
more than a few nights under the covers with a flashlight reading books like Enders Game and Little House on The Prairie.
I stayed up
more than a few nights reading a Jay McInerney novel I'd been meaning to read, and appreciated being able to quickly read an article in the latest edition of Foreign Affairs magazine on the subway.
I'm pretty sure that there were
more than a few nights that we just ate a baked potato with a plate full of veggies because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to make!
Other times, it was
no more than a few nights of yearning, vivid dreams.
