Always Shake Your Shoes
I always shake my shoes before putting them on, no matter if I’m traveling to a tropical place or not. The reason why? I never know what’s crawled in overnight—or the past few hours.
I was reminded why I do this just the other day when I shook a pair of my shoes that were in my garage and a spider jumped out. Spiders (like the ones in California) usually don’t scare me, but some do…like the one in the photo above that I once found in my room in Hamilton Island, Australia. Can you imagine sliding your foot into your shoe and feeling that guy?
