Viajero The hubby drove and didn't complain or try to get out of it at all. ❤️ 'Twas a really good send off. 💞🫶

Airport... Round 1!
25 de mayo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
I already overpaid on a portable charger and breakfast... But the employee at the tech place gave me the employee discount (did I mention we bonded over our memories of MySpace?) and the chef from the diner made my bacon perfectly crispy. 🥹🥓 I even found a seat next to a phone charger. 😍Leer más

Día 1
An ungodly layover
25 de mayo de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Just landed at the Newark Airport for a 4.5 hour layover... Scratch that... We are 30 minutes early... For a 5 hour layover. The ride was smooth at the beginning and I caught some decent Zzzs in an upright position with this playlist I found a week or so ago.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/07fouBE2kZPmv…

Probably top 5 worst experiences of turbulence but honestly, it was a good alarm clock so I'm not mad.

A few thoughts that popped up into my head during the flight:

"Why are you wearing a full tuxedo at 10am on a Thursday?"
"Wow... His eyelashes are so beautiful."
"Stanley Tucci really looks like a hotdog."

No. Alcohol was not served on this flight.Leer más

I was told "pizza is great but service is terrible." Well, can't wait to see what's in store. 🍕😂

Viajero I can tell already... This pizza is gonna mess me up (and not in a good way). 😭

Viajero This was a horrible decision on my part and my body got wrecked because of it. Having fiery poops while flying over the Atlantic was not on my bucket list...

Just landed in Belgium!
26 de mayo de 2023, Bélgica ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
I survived the flight! Woohoo!

Food was surprisingly good and (I think) I ate quinoa for the first time. 😂 Here's a picture of the dinner that was served.

I passed the time with two comedy specials and some sleep. I watched the comedy specials below and the Atsuko one was making me laugh throughout the flight. Highly recommend!

- Miz Cracker: Here I Stand
- Atsuko Okatsuka: The Intruder

I was sitting next to a couple that wouldn't stop making out and groping each other. Not the way I saw this flight going. 😂Leer más

Operation Get the Pets' Approval
26 de mayo de 2023, Bélgica ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Howdy!

I got through customs with only mild embarrassment for my pronunciation of French-named cities. Success!

While we were on the 1-hour journey from the Brussel's Airport to her home, we had some really serious discussions take place. Discussions such as:
-The impact on taste because of the peanut butter to chocolate ratio in various types of Reese's. 🥜🍫
-The mutual discovery that the graffitied "GTA" everywhere was not for Grand Theft Auto enthusiasts, but actually a Belgian graffiti crew named Grand Theft Aerosol (Thank you, Reddit!).🏎️🚗🚓
-The fact that Lucie feels her cats are distinguishable because one has more white than black and the other has more black than white... Whereas I feel the most distinguishing factor is in fact that one has 3 legs and the other has 4.😹

Just a bit ago I made it to Lucie and Charlotte's house in Charleroi.

While here for less than half an hour I have already managed to scare her Bernese Mountain Dog (and both cats), lock myself in the bathroom, and confuse a school sign next door saying "ecole" with "ecoli".
Enjoy this collection of emojis to describe the eventfulness thus far.

Viajero Sorry! I didn't want to bother people with notifications so I had turned them off. I was too lazy to keep doing it so you will keep getting notifications!

Grocery Shopping
26 de mayo de 2023, Bélgica ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Visited Colruyt for groceries today. It reminded me of grocery shopping in Hawaii (but not nearly as expensive).

It was cool to see some of the same brands that I'm used to but with different names / styles of logo. It was really nifty to see so much fresh food and free samples.

I learned that the drinking age for beer is 16 and 18 for spirits, Americans are weird for refrigerating milk, and the multi-packs of things in plastic wraps can be suggestions but you pay for the individual items inside.

They give you money back for recycling your glass bottles of some Belgian beers like how Oberweis does the glass bottled milk.Leer más
