Between the booze and the jazzy haze of the French Quarter, we neglected to realize that our hotel was literally around the next corner. The cabbie laughed at us, shook his head and, with an immediate understanding of the situation, drove the 200 feet to our destination.
True story.
Had we been too sauced to remember the name of our accomodations or [gulp] where on our person we stashed our cash, these certainly would’ve come in handy.

Thanks to the Spoon Sisters’ Dear Cab Driver paper napkins, you’re guaranteed to never lose track of your hostel or hotel again. Simply fill out and stash a couple of these on your person early in the night – when you’re coherent and responsible enough to think of such things – and your friendly cab driver should be able to take care of the rest.
