I am doing a test pack for my next trip. On the last trip my backpack, the blue one, weighed 8k. The little one is for the next trip and weighs 6.6k. When you add what I will be wearing on my person my total kit will be 9.6kilos.OMG In 2018 my whole kit was 15k. #packinglite #minimalist #travel

Just canceled my flight to the US. Not worth the worry. #FAA Looking for flights to the EU that don't land in the US. Wish I could find one that doesn't go through US airspace. #Trump2.0

I set my sourdough cracker dough out to remind me to bake it. I forgot,so it decided to climb out and remind me. #sourdough #baking

I have been back home less than 24 hours but I am already rushing through my post trip tasks so I can start researching my options for the next one.

I had YouTube running in the background. A new show started and they began to talk about a someplace becoming a post apocalyptic wasteland. I just didn’t want to hear any more about the future of the US and was reaching to skip the show when I realized it was PBS Eons.

In Migration they went through the line and pulled everyone with a resident card to the front of the foreigners line.

In the Mexico City airport. One more flight and I will be home…

After a 40 minute taxi ride, and walking half way up the mountain side to my house.

Lounge 41 at the Amsterdam airport sounds like a daycare center.

My father had polio as a child and later lied about it to get into the Navy to fight fascism. He was relieved that measles didn’t leave me with lasting issues. He had seen family suffering from lockjaw and smallpox. He didn’t hesitate to get me vaccinated. Thanks Dad. I am sorry about your county.

Stuck in the Amsterdam airport for six hours. I am just too burned out to take a tour. It doesn’t help that the flight from Thessaloniki was on the worst airline I’ve ever been on.

On the plane for Amsterdam. Sitting next to Dunlap. He has dun lapped over into my seat.

I love video games and I love reading books. I love listening to audiobooks while gaming. When my niece told me that #AndrewRowe books are written like video games I was all over them.

About to suffocate in the taxi to the airport. It smells like the spice bazaar but much stronger.
