Birthday Trip:  Going solo November 9-18

And the adventure begins! Starting off wholly different from the norm. Usually getting out of dodge is nothing but an entrée of stress and rushing with a little side dish of more stress. I had plenty of time to park at JFK and get my bearings. I didn’t want to clobber anyone in the seemingly endless line for check-in (that actually went pretty swiftly) and that’s kind of huge for me. I packed lean and mean, so much so that I didn’t end up even having to check my duffel which is awesome but then it didn’t even get flagged at security (also big bc I “forgot” to toss a few items 😐). The cherry on top?? For some reason I was given an upgrade…a teeny one, mind you, but still!! An upgrade just for being meeee! And lastly *sigh* I have just enough time to sit and down a half way decent Bloody! This is where I knock-on-ALL-wood bc I don’t like the idea of only being able to go down from here, but bring it bc I’m ready to take on Thailand solo!
