Staying hydrated while traveling

While I have been out of the office, traveling these past few weeks, I have noticed a few things:

1.  The bottled water in western Ontario (Canada) is highly flourinated, and takes some getting used to.  The difference in taste was a deterrent for drinking as much as I should have.
2.  Visiting customer sites and yards, in their facility does not provide easy access to water, but rather during meals or at the hotel only.

I found that I needed to be sure to drink plenty of water when it was available.  Once I started doing this each day, I found I was sleeping better, and felt better overall during the day.

It's the little things that make a difference.  One associate I was traveling with keeps a bottle with him, easily accessible on his backpack.  That way, he always has water with him.
