Let's Go! find a nice place to sleep...

I've been researching my family's upcoming trip to Spain and the Western Mediterranean in 'Let's Go! Spain and Portugal 2006'. I've been a fan of the 'Let's Go!' series of travel books, ever since I went on a road trip with my college friends through the Great American West. It gave us advance warning on the Mormons (though did not speak of their killer mosquitos), told us what a fabulous cocktail party story the four corners makes, and pointed us towards the Red Iguana, best Mexican food in Salt Lake. 'Let's Go!' is informative and funny, plus I used it when I went to Italy, and I find it the easiest guidebook to navigate through.

Anyway, towards the back of the Spain and Portugal book, some helpful phrases are offered. In the section on accomodations, it lists things like: "Do you have any singles?" and "I need another key."

At the end of the section, it says:

"There are cockroaches in my room."
Hay cucarachas en mi habitacion.
"They are biting me."
Me estan mordiendo.

Yup, Let's Go! prepares you for all situations.
