Stand up for yourself on the road on Monday and Tuesday. If the room's unacceptable, don't pay and don't stay; if the service is bad, talk to the manager. You're not into making waves, but don't be wishy-washy. Your awareness and instinct for doing the right thing (and helping others) earn you big karma points midweek, as well as broadening and deepening your travel experience. On Friday or Saturday, seek out someone who can add a little structure to your trip and take care of some pesky details. You want to enjoy the big picture.
