Wouldn’t Logan be much larger and busier than other airports in the NE region. They’re all pretty small, no?

Managed to land in Doha without being shot out of the sky. Now to just make it out again in a few hours...

It's 330am my personal time, had very little sleep, got another 5 hour flight then land at 730am Barcelona time. Have a transfer booked to the accommodation but can't actually get our room till much later on the day. Gonna leave our bags at the hotel and walk around Barcelona like fucking zombies for the day I guess.

Hope I can get some sleep on this next flight.

I guess I figured most intl flights would go through JFK instead? I don’t know. I meant northeast rather than New England to be clear. In any case Logan sucks.

maybe it will work out perfectly and you'll fit right in

After 24 hours on planes we land in Barcelona at 7am. Make it to Accom but can't check in yet. Leave bags, find Cafe, see beer taps, now looking like Aussie piss head tourists drinking beer with our brekkie. Lol.

hell yeah, leaning into stereotypes is one of the best parts of foreign travel

How long are you in town?

After a late August week in Whistler, my sister’s new recommendation to Seattle visitors is drive up to Whistler for a few days.

I always say attend a Mariners game especially if it’s a nice day, not really an option (historically) in October.

- See who is playing at the Showbox or Paramount … great venues. Make sure you are looking at Showbox Market (not Showbox Sodo).
- Walk around downtown like 3rd & Pine or near the courthouse … lots of free drugs.

Bammer, when you were in Whistler, did you eat at the Burrito place in the village, and was it full of Australians ?

Local(?) IPA at the Brewhouse restuarant (good).

Some kind of IPA at the French(?) restaurant (terrible).

Some other kind of local IPA from the grocery store (good).

No weed.

[96583UP]

do you always drink IPA

i never seek it out anymore. too spritzy

i feel like every microbrewery does it as the focal point. maybe it’s easier to get away with zang flavor if it’s IPA

i like lager, pilsner, cerveza primarily these days
