My bags are packed and I’m ready—maybe even slightly desperate—to go! Usually when someone says “Happy Friday,” I cringe and want to put my head through a computer, but I’m so high on life today that I’d even shoot a nice double finger gun at them. Right back at ya, pal! And that’s all thanks to my upcoming travels, which I’ve been pumped for aside from the slight scare of the Coronavirus.

I’m armed with disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer, and I’ve spent the past week with sneezy/coughing children, so I’m hoping I’ve built up some sort of immunity from that. That theory may seem like a far stretch, but you know who is stretching even further? Those boycotting buying Corona beer because?? Same, same??? Every time I squirt some sanitizer in my hand, I have a flashback of drinking Everclear vodka freshman year of college. Except, I didn’t pay an a thrifty $40 a bottle for it like I was duped into doing back then. Sigh.

Anyhow, I’m heading to Boston, then starting my journey to Berlin! I’ll be trekking around Europe for the next month, exploring new places and visiting old friends. Send restaurants recommendations and good vibes my way!
