London is extremely overrated. I hope she has fun but fuck that.

I love London, but yeah I would avoid it in the summer. Very muggy

Similarly, I will never return to NYC in July or August. The city's an armpit. Miserable

Years ago, my wife nearly passed out in the Tube it was so hot.

driving to Nelson, BC today...we have 2 days in an airbnb that is above a restaurant/pub...

Why do I have so much trouble pulling the trigger on booking a trip

I know the feeling

Right now at least I have my heart on the Canadian Rockies and Germany/Switzerland/etc...Earlier I filled out everything but the credit card information for a down payment on a Canada group trip, but backed off.

It's probably not a bad price, but I guess it's partially me being cheap and partially a moron

Crippled by the thought there may be better options to suit your tastes?

Maybe the Canadian Rockies being too cold for my model-thin bod?

Okay I booked something not in Canada suck it

So you're going to Germany/Switzerland? That seems like an even bigger deal?

Nah I went with something simpler. We'll see how this goes before I book something like that or Canada next year. I also just didn't want to rush anything extensive.

What’d you book, traveler?

I’d rather not say

Oh, whoops

Taking my family to Rio next week for a week. I’m very excited. It’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit. I know this isn’t carnival season. That would be my nightmare. I think I have some good things planned - Christ and Sugarloaf, a guided walk of the Rocinha favela, hiking Pedra de Gavea, and Tijuca National Park. I may hang glide. We’re staying on Arpoador between Ipanema and Copacabana. My kids want to take a Brazilian Jujitsu class. My wife wants to visit the Selaron stairs and eat loads of Acai. Anyone been there have any specific must-dos I am missing? Jorge, wanna just pop over for a drink during the Brazil group stage game?

I'd love to host you guys. I mean, you should get a nearby hotel, but we can hang out a little if I'm not busy
