Together, we have visited a total of 144 showers during our epic journey. Sometimes
showering was the adventure of the day, and other times, it was just something
we had to do. Now, however, it is time to move on. This is the part where we
turn off that splendid spray of water, dry ourselves off with those soft, thick
towels, get dressed, and move on with our lives. It’s been great showering with
you! J

At First Glance: So clean and so spacious! The Herscowitzes did a great
job keeping our house spotless while we were gone! The kids’ bathroom has never
looked cleaner!
Shower Power: Blissful! Perfect in every way. Exactly the wondrous stream
I desire!
Hot or Not?: Plenty hot for all of our showers, no matter the length, or
the dishwasher running or the number of baths Mom takes.
What Made it Nice: Being in my own shower!
What Made it Not-So-Nice: My rating system limits me from rating... Continue reading...

At First Glance: Reminds me of my shower at home. A bathtub-shower
combination with a shower curtain.
Shower Power: Impressive!
Hot or Not?: Mostly hot, except for the last unfortunate showerers.
What Made it Nice: Large, fluffy, colorful towels, and lots of places to
put things, both inside and outside the shower.

Overall Rating: 8 out of 10 ... Continue reading...

At First Glance: This may be a barnhouse, but its shower is spectacular!
While decorated in a clashing fifties-style mixture of too many different
patterns, it has fantastic features in regards to the shower itself, making it
one of our better shower experiences – if I can manage to shower with my eyes
squeezed shut!
Shower Power: Amazingly powerful! It’s incredible and absolutely
unbelievable how much water comes out with so much strength from such a teeny
tiny little showerhead!
Hot o... Continue reading...

At First Glance: Mom exclaimed, “That’s a nice shower!” the second she
walked into the bathroom here. Maybe that’s because it’s the first fully
enclosed shower we’ve had since practically the British Isles!
Shower Power: Amazing! Too powerful, but fortunately if one does not pull
the knob out all the way, it is the perfect amount of pressure!
Hot or Not?: Pleasantly hot. Does not fluxuate with flushing, running
water in the sink, or even running the dishwasher or laundry machine... Continue reading...

At First Glance: A large corner bathtub, with a shower head capable of
extreme adjustments in all directions.
Shower Power: Medium light. Angled weird, though, so one could not get
under it to get the full pressure.
Hot or Not?: Warm most of the time.
What Made it Nice: Enough towels to go around, though not the softest
material or prettiest color.
What Made it Not-So-Nice: Wimpy accordion-style shower door did not
prevent any water from going anywhere. Hence, water went everywhere!

At First Glance: Three bathrooms: one just a toilet and a very small
sink, with gorgeous decorative wall tiles, the second just a shower, a towel
warmer, and a large sink, and the third a bathtub with shower head, a toilet, a
large sink, a towel warmer, and much more.
Shower Power: In a word, pathetic. Which is sad, because everything else
about this shower is utterly amazing.
Hot or Not?: Very hot, and not very easily adjustable. Correctly labeled,
but on the underside, which is not visib... Continue reading...

At First Glance: A shift-and-lift adjuster for pressure and temperature,
a showerhead able to adjust up and down, as well as side to side, a little
metal rack in the corner for shower stuff, a decent shower curtain. This shower
had almost everything. The one thing
it lacked was something to keep the water from flooding the bathroom floor. No
little ledge or rug or anything. But if we tilt it just so, the water stays
mostly within the drain’s reach.
Shower Power: Magnificent! And easily adj... Continue reading...

At First Glance: A lovely puke green theme – green toilet, sink, shelf,
shower floor. Gross ceiling, and I don’t even want to look behind the toilet! The
inside of the bathroom door, however, had a lovely reproduction of a drawing or
painting of a little girl on a fence with flowers in her hair. Very pretty, and
the only thing in the bathroom that was worth looking at.
Shower Power: Pretty good, but I’ve seen much better!
Hot or Not?: Not very flexible. One turned up the cold all the ... Continue reading...

At First Glance: Amazing decorations! The bathroom has an under-the-sea
theme, but it’s very busy with all the decorations the owners have piled into
this small room. A shell-shaped bathtub with a seat in the corner of it also
has a showerhead with adjustable height and spray. Several stuffed animals hang
from the ceiling.
Shower Power: Amazing pressure! So deliciously clean!
Hot or Not?: A very fine line between too hot and too cold, but either
side of the line was tolerable.
What Made... Continue reading...
