Brenda can you access if you’re traveling business class on miles?
Not domestically I don’t think.
My travel is nearly what it was back in the day because I’m mostly managing teams now (who are doing all the pursuit traveling).
And I am in fact delighted that I’m in a position to take this trip at all. But I was a little annoyed when that notification popped up.
Though oddly after a brief flirtation with Delta (and a platinum card with a good offer) I have a boatload of miles over there so I’ve been noodling about a trip to South America or southeast Asia.
Woo, London! Have a good trip, transcending the chump lounge constraint
I’m sorry lisah.
Safe travels, Brenda!
So apparently Musk is trying to get access to the US Treasury. [link]
How much is going to end up in his virtual pockets?
Brenda, have a great time in my favorite city!
I’m watching the news, which I should not be because everything is awful.
I’m in a better position than so many folks. We’d be fine for a while if I lost my job but, man, all this bullshit makes me so angry
How unfair to be relegated to the Chump Lounge!
I hope the otter cafe is/was all you'd hoped and more. Otters!
I warmed up for the Otter Cafe by going first to the Mini-Pig Cafe.
Perhaps sensing that I'd eaten bacon for breakfast, the pigs rejected me. I mean, I did get to cuddle a few, but one lady had three piglets happily piled on top of her and it took regular coercion and prompting from the staff for the pigs to hang with me. One pig finally deigned to lay his head on my leg and I did pet him.
Otters was more fun though less cuddling. (Which is to say zero cuddling.) It took a while to find the place because it was second floor (2F in Japan) in the shopping mall/arcade (there's a lot of stuff on 2F and B1 if you're looking for cool little bars and places. And dag they've got some tiny, claustrophobic elevators).
I waltzed in without a reservation and managed to land right in a lull. So it was me and one other guy having alone time with one hungry otter, so we got to feed Oagge a lot. Then we got to hang with his smaller daughter, Wasabi, at which point six other people arrived.
Really enjoyed the up close with the otters.
Then I spent too much money at a Japanese record store but the prices are pretty great with the exchange rate.
I'm hungry but my stomach feels wonky. What I really want is a bigass California salad and that is not going to be forthcoming.
I think I'll hit the Public Bath for a soak then go out later.
> I decided to give transitionals a try this time
I loved mine. Wore them all the time. Very convenient in sunny locations.
Happy travels, Brenda.
I am off to the airport to pick up the first wave of visitors. The 2nd wave is renting a car and arriving tomorrow.
I think I'll hit the Public Bath for a soak then go out later.
Ah. Enjoy.
Otter cafe beats stroller owls
The beautiful thing is, they apparently coexist without strife
