[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kind of as a side note- how much are you supposed to do for guests? I LOVE and need coffee in the morning, but in laws frown on coffee use and don't have any. I'm very flexible and don't complain, but when I come often and stay for multiple nights, it's hard to not have coffee. [/quote]

Do they frown on it for religious reasons?  If so, that's your excuse for a morning run to Dunkin' Donuts or the bagel shop.  You can bring stuff back for people as your cover.  (Or have it be your morning walk, morning run, get the NY Times, what have you.) 
If it's not a religious thing, then stock your own there.  I did that with my IL's, who are tea people.  A little solo french press and a small container of coffee is all you need.

Nope. I wake up at 8 am when I'm with them. They've been up for hours and have the most ginormous breakfast ready when I wake. We sit and eat for nearly an hour while I dream about coffee. I truly hate eating breakfast. [/quote]

sheesh. Just bring your own plastic funnel thingie, a few filters, and some pre-ground coffee. One of my friends brings that everywhere she goes -even when visiting friends who DO have coffee. She gets up and makes herself some coffee first thing. Take charge, my dear! At least take charge of one little thing which will make you much happier. Your inlaws will respect you for it, even if they find it annoying. If you're really afraid to do it in their kitchen, I suppose you could bring an electric kettle that you could plug into your own room, but that does seem excessive. If the funnel and filter is too much, then travel with a little (gulp) instant coffee. Put it in a mug and just pour hot water over it. [/quote]

Just bring a little French press. Even simpler.
