Mom & Dad came down last weekend to visit me and my grandparents.\u00c2\u00a0 It was really, really good to see them!\u00c2\u00a0 It was so nice to see my granparents too – I wish I could see them more often!\u00c2\u00a0 I should, but I’m always afraid of being sort of a nuisance, so I tend not to visit as often as I should!!<\/p>\n
One of the conversations we had was about travel, and how my dad’s business travel has always been very rush-rush, with no sight-seeing time at all, and how my grandpa’s business travel was usually all by car, so he got to “see the country,” so to speak.\u00c2\u00a0 I was saying that my business travel, so far, has managed to allow at least a little bit of sight-seeing time, for the most part.\u00c2\u00a0 I JINXED MYSELF!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Two days after this conversation, I got scheduled for a one day – yes, ONE DAY – trip to Phoenix (where I’ve never been) to learn about archiving.\u00c2\u00a0 My flight actually leaves at 6:45 AM, which will require me to leave my house by 4:00 AM!\u00c2\u00a0 I should be happily in the middle of some REM or dreamland at that time of night.\u00c2\u00a0 Then I get back at 8:40 PM.<\/p>\n
One of the major dilemmas posed by this trip is my hair.\u00c2\u00a0 And my oral hygiene.\u00c2\u00a0 Obviously, for a one-day (yes, ONE DAY!) trip, I won’t be checking any baggage to hold my hairspray, toothpaste, eyeglass cleaner, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 However, my hair, which is normally not terribly well behaved anyway, does very bad things when exposed to airplane air.\u00c2\u00a0 And with the current restrictions on carry-on baggage, I’m not permitted to take even a tiny amount of hairspray to help rescue it!\u00c2\u00a0 I also can’t take toothpaste.\u00c2\u00a0 Ick.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll have to pack lots of gum.\u00c2\u00a0 Interestingly enough, I would be permitted to carry up to 4 oz. of “personal lubricant<\/a>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mom & Dad came down last weekend to visit me and my grandparents.\u00c2\u00a0 It was really, really good to see them!\u00c2\u00a0 It was so nice to see my granparents too – I wish I could see them more often!\u00c2\u00a0 I should, but I’m always afraid of being sort of a nuisance, so I tend not […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
