Never had Santa Barbara eggs before. They are good. Saving pastries for midmorning tea. If I feel energetic I will walk to the beach, about 5 miles round trip. Then I can get ice cream without feeling guilty.

Back home with Lucia.
Someone who is nervous crossing bridges and terrified driving through mountains arguably shouldn't live in California, but I don't think Nebraska is a good fit for me.
 
I'm probably not going to Oregon for thanksgiving. Flights are very expensive.

BUT, I'm thinking of going to London Town. Leaving the Wednesday before thanksgiving and coming back Sunday, may be a good international jaunt. Not sure, its about $1k for the ticket, nonstop on Iberia

Booked tix to London. I'll probably get a Pfizer booster before then, probably next week. :NOTMARIS:

Are you staying NYE?

We're considering it, we'll see. I've been before, its kind of a shit show, but cool at the same time. Rest of the week is pretty dead from what I remember.

Have you been there? I spent some of my summers nearby.

Not exactly a vacation, but took the kiddos to Halloween at Disney Land. Lots of cool looking masks there lol. Too bad got spoiled that the Blazers lost (was going to watch the replay).

Have I been where, London? Arkansas? or London, Arkansas?

Nope heading home that morning, spend new years with the kids. Now we just have to figure out Uber or someway of getting from the airport to our hotel. Living in Central Oregon, we have never used any of these companies.

Where are you staying?
 
In Hawaii now. Head home this week just in time to move to a new house. Swam with wild dolphins, hiked the volcano (it's currently erupting). Laid out on the beach. Mowed a lawn.

Then I have two more trips out here before year-end.

Who's flown international and had to take a COVID test to go back into the country?

How is that process? I was thinking of booking this for the UK

Its the "Day 2" test but I am pretty sure I can use it for entry back into the US since its an Antigen test.

I did when we went to Mexico in May. The resort set up a medical clinic in one of the suites and we just got tested there. Very easy, very quick.

You basically just show the result to the airline when you check in?

That is great information. How does the cost of a taxi compare to a uber or lyft? We usually go out to the bass pro shop/silvercloud and my wife likes to go to the gold coast.

Uber's been surging up and down. Sometimes its 15 bucks, other times its $60. I'd probably learn how to use uber if you were going down to Freemont Street or something. Taxis there can be expensive.

I did for our Iceland trip in July. Iceland had a program that you sign up for a test, show up at assigned time, get swabbed and your test results were emailed to you in about an hour. Lots of people waited till the day of their flight to test, but that seemed a little risky to me. Renetry was no issue, the only place that checked for my negative test was the airline check in, and all they did was look at the email on my phone, after that no one gave a shit at all. Not even the customs agent in PDX.
 
We'll be traveling to NYC over the long Thanksgiving weekend. I've never been there. My wife has been there a handful of times. We'll be staying at the Hilton Conrad Suites on 54th midtown, so we'll be right in the heart of the action. We have a bunch of stuff planned over the 5 days we'll be there.:

Tavern on the Green
Central Park carriage ride
Greenwich Village
Manhattan Transfer concert @ The Blue Note in Greenwich Village
Times Square Church
Times Square
5th Ave. window displays
Top of the Rock tour and sunset view from the top
Bryant Park
Dyker Heights Christmas lights & Manhattan bus tour
9-11 Memorial
Wall St.
Plus, lots of good eating.

As mentioned, I've never been there, so, hopefully, this trip will capture a lot of highlights in the city.

The Christmas Markets are pretty dope. The best one was probably the one at Bryant Park, followed by Union Square.

We did the pedicap ride through Central Park, it was pretty good, you actually go inside the park, I'm not sure if the horses do that and our guide was good.

The Radio City Rocketts were really good. I enjoyed that show quite a bit.

Macys on 42nd is pretty iconic as well around Christmas. We bought a ton of Christmas ornaments from there and shipped them home.

Watch out if you go to Trump Tower, I remember last time I was there someone was throwing water bottles from the escalators at people dining at the restaurant on the bottom floor.
