I always carry an extension cord for hotels (not knowing where their plug-ins are around the bed)... same for visiting with friends, but the hard thing is setting up ahead of time for hotels to leave you a bottle of distilled water in your room if your flying in and getting to the hotel late. No time to shop for such, and they won't let you take it on the plane.
