Relaxing in the hotel room after a fun date. We went out for Japanese hibachi and then saw the movie No Hard Feelings--very cute!

Hi gorgeous Merry!

Devo?

She makes posting fun! I'm so glad she's back!

Wow, I haven't had nasi goreng since I lived in Indonesia. It was pretty cheap there. $16.80 is expensive!







Weather peeps are wrong a lot! My mom and I are going on a Disney cruise next week and the day before we are spending a day in Epcot. The weather is forecasting afternoon rain showers that day--just our luck.

Yes! It's always a shock for me when I come back to the U.S. A combo at Taco Bell (3 tacos and a large soda) is $14.95 in Massachusetts! YIKES. I remember when they were under $5, and it was not that long ago.

Oh my word--YES! And people watching videos full blast on their phones. Or on long international flights, kids watching movies on their iPads. USE EARPHONES, PEOPLE!

Sure! A flying whambulance is even better!



OT: Mark is still sleeping and I want breakfast! We are at a hotel and there's nothing in walking distance, so I have to wait for him.

Waiting for Mark to wake up. Because of my jet lag, I've been up for hours.

I've done it both ways. Typically I'm more like you, Crystal. I need to feel really comfortable talking to the person before I want to meet. But that doesn't necessarily take several weeks. I can talk a LOT to someone (including video chatting) for 3-4 days and feel just as comfortable with them as I would talking a little bit every day to someone for 3-4 weeks.

I say do what you feel most comfortable doing. It's not just about him. It's about both of you. Good luck! I hope it goes well for you!

Tired and raggedy. But I made it to the U.S. And Mark took me to have my first Taco Bell in a year.

That sounds fun! Hope it’s a great summer for you!

Yeah, I’ll go to Boston to see Mark first. Then I’ll go to Virginia to see my girls, then a Disney cruise and Epcot with my mom. Then New Orleans with one of my girls. Then back to Mark for 3 weeks. Gonna be a busy summer.

Stranger, danger!

I’ll have to check out Numb3rs. I love crime dramas.

What are you up to this summer? Will you go fishing or camping or something fun?

I’ve never watched that show. How is it?

Mark and I started watching Yellowstone. It’s really good! Have you seen it?

Hi Mike! . I think I’m flying over Germany right now. What’s the haps?

Though it’s easy to pretend, I know you’re not a fool.

Same.

Thinking this is the first time I’ve bought an internet package to use while in a flight. But this leg is 13 hours, so I thought it might be worth it being able to text with Mark. He’s asleep right now though. I hope there are some Minglers who are awake!

I was so excited thinking I had an entire row on this plane all to myself. Then at the last second, a tardy couple came and sat next to me, and my hopes were dashed.

Sitting on a plane. I’ll see Mark in about 20 hours! 🥰
