Now they just came on the intercom and said, no it’s not a ground stop; it’s a code yellow. Planes can land. We’ll see what that means for us.

I was just a Good Samaritan and gate checked my bag since they asked for volunteers. Hoping for good karma for my trip next Friday in return.

It’s my fault for not asking how to turn it off but my parents roasted me with their heated seats. I am sorry to inform everyone that the fat doesn’t just melt off either.

If you’ve loved Hello Kitty since the beginning, you’re likely old enough for this. (My mom & I just went to Daiso in Dallas.)

I think my phone thinks the Taylor Swift skeletons at Skeleton House are people I know. It grouped the photos from 2024 into an album, “Early Moments Together,” I guess because I took photos of them this year too. 😂

In honor of Thanksgiving and Bayou Classic weekend, my phone had the Human Jukebox from 2014 in my featured photos. For fairness, I had to share GSU Tiger Marching Band.

Not that anyone asked but the main reaction to the two vaccines is arm pain. Like severe arm pain. I’m a side sleeper and it seriously interfered with my sleep. I will be glad when my arms are over this reaction.

This is the form I had to fill out earlier. I could not get *any* vaccines without filling out this form. Call me crazy but I don’t like to sign random forms that have nothing to do with the treatment I am receiving. (I did not get a COVID vaccine today - I was there for two different vaccines.)

Sorry, this was incomplete. If I didn’t fill out the form, I couldn’t get the vaccine. I filled it out even though I wasn’t getting a Covid vaccine. Whatever.
I’m at the pharmacy at Ochsner, waiting to get two vaccines that are not the COVID vaccine. They made me sign two forms, “Acknowledgment of FDA-approved parameters of COVID-19 vaccine.” I can’t get the vaccines (again, not for COVID).

Also, if you’re planning a trip to the Christmas markets or a winter European trip, check out my Christmas markets shopping list. I learned a lot of lessons last year and made adjustments for this year. Example: I am NOT bringing any sweaters with acrylic or polyamide.

If you are planning a trip to the Christmas markets, especially Munich and Vienna, feel free ask me any questions. Last year I hardly did any planning and a couple of people on here were traveling ahead of me and gave me some (almost) real-time advice.

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or another traveler, Calpak has already started their Black Friday sale - 20% off. They have sales a couple of times per year, if you’re not in a hurry. I bought my Luka duffel on sale through TikTok shop in January. They have a lot of great travel products.

If you need new luggage, now is the time to buy Away, when everything is 25% off. I have had the pink bigger carry-on since 2018. The bigger carry-on is fine for major U.S. airlines but I had to check it in Italy on a regional airline. The only negative imo: the lighter colors show scuff marks.

The blush pink Bigger Carry-On luggage offers roomy interior, durable shell, and sleek design for longer adventures. Thoughtfully made to balance form and function.
