I have decided that I either have to start travelling a lot more or never again. Tomorrow I am getting on a plane for the first time since 2019 and, yep, am stressed AF. The goodish news is that Spain has decided to end the public transport mask mandate on February 8th (instead of the previously threatened Feb 1st date) so at least this trip is covered. So to speak. After this, no idea.
But I have to say… I have always hated flying. Everything about it, and not just the gut-clenching fear upon taking off that we are all going to crash and burn. It’s all the fucking lost time it takes. Sure, this flight is only 1 hour 25 minutes, but then there’s getting to the airport two hours ahead of time, and upon landing (if there are no delays) another hour or so until finally arriving at the hotel. So I will have to leave home about 10.45 in the morning to (hopefully) open my hotel room door at 3.30 pm. I have planned for this. Got my ear buds charged, got my music, etc. And of course I have already started packing.
about last night…

So remember how I couldn’t go to the posh do last night because I was being responsible and taking care of business? Well, turned out my tapas tour finished in time for me to pop over and catch the tail end of the event – also helped that it was about five minutes away from our last tapas bar. So I popped over! Met up with a few friends and acquaintances, had a couple of glasses of cava and then shared a taxi home with my neighbour Mónica. Also – bonus! Got a swag bag on the way out. So kind of a win-win. And I think I may have set the wheels in motion for my next biz idea (fingers crossed, more later) so if that works out it’ll be a win-win-win.

It’s World Tourism Day and I was invited to this spectacular event at the newly reopened Artillery Factory (sounds weird but it’s actually an amazing set of buildings that used to house the factory and now is set up for cultural events such as this). But as luck would have it I am booked with a Sevilla Tapas Tour this evening and so had to decline the invitation. Duty first! Anyhow, it also seems fitting to celebrate World Tourism Day by being with some visitors and helping them have an a fabulous experience here.
