That after 24 hours travelling you’d want a shower

[BarrelOfOtters]

24 hours, 3 planes….2 short hops and an international overnight flight. You’d want a shower when you got home, yes?

DH is a very clean person who oddly, rarely sweats. In the usual run of things He showers daily and after exercise.

we’ve just got back a couple of hours ago and first thing I did was shower. He’s got into bed and says he doesn’t need one. he’ll shower tomorrow. Freshly made bed too…

we aren’t especially knackered…but really wouldn’t you just want a shower?

I'm sorry but that first post and the subsequent defending of entrenched views therein, seems far from 'an idle thought'

I'd say its very individual. Eat, sleep, shower, bath - all reasonable.

A very long time ago I was at school in England and went home to Australia for the holidays. It was a 24 hour flight to Sydney, then a transfer to the domestic terminal and a further half hour flight. It took 27 hours altogether. The only thing I wanted to do when I got home was to go to sleep (after checking inside my bed for nasties first). So no - the first thing I would want to do is not to have a shower.
