Bard on the beach

Ok. I haven't actually gone to Bard on the Beach yet, but T booked tickets! So I am now officially excited about it.

I've finally booked the flights. It has been a complete headeche. Three seperate flight agencies, flying out of Seattle, to JFK in New York, spend the night there, and then off to Barbados. Finally, more than 24 hours after I leave, I arrive at St. George's. Wow. Simple, Wow. Of course, same trip on the way back, more of less. I am so not looking forward to the actually travelling part. On top of that, I get to spend 3 weeks home. Would be easier, and cheaper to just stay on the island, though I'm sure I will be super home sick, and bored out of my mind.

And that concludes the exciting parts of the last few days. Oh! Finally got a linen jacket. Tight fit too. Uber excited. Now must find occassion to wear it as well.

Flight set!

Ok!

So, after spending 3 hours today talking to various travel agents, online websites, and blah blah blah, I am now set to go to Grenada. Each trip is going to take more than 1 day, with lots of lay overs, so hopefully I get to check in with plenty of time to spare. Over night in JFK too. Wonder if there would be anywhere for me to deposit my luggage, so I can walk around the airport.

On a seperate note: did you know American Airline's call centre is in North Carolina? Their agents seems to really like using Sir and Ma'am. And their voice recordings have a slight Southern accent, kinda cute too.

On a third seperate note, who like those stupid voice recognition things? I mean, you have to speak pretty clearly, which for people with accents, really means that they don't understand you. Plus, the options are so limited, you end up talking to a real person anyways. Plus plus, when it keeps saying it doesn't understand you, it's kinda rude.

That's it for the day. Tomorrow I get to try and get a bizzilion vaccination shots.

Professional Babysitters

So, I was driving home today, and saw this giant billboard that said "Be an Early Childhood Educator", and I'm thinking, ok, so now you need a professional degree to be a glorified babysitter?

I mean, seriously...you need to study to know how to play with babies? Feels like the entire society is getting so differentiated, that everything needs a degree. Seems really excessively redundant to me.

On another note, went to Kintaro's noodle today with T. Yummy. For whatever odd reason, I can never remember what I had the last time. I think there is one noodle there I have never tried, but every time I'm there, I always want to have my favorite. So here it is: Miso. Remember. Bearded Papa's near Denman had a nice chocolate puff today. Double yum.

Booking a flight into Grenada has been a royal pain so far. Seems like I cannot avoid at least two flights now, maybe even more. Should have booked earlier... Would kicking yourself in the butt be considered sadist, or masochist? Hmmmmmmm.

1st!

Ok. Here goes. First post. Guess I'll be musing about just anything regarding life, as I see it. Ought to be fun.
