My AirBnB has some construction stuff going on in the apartment next to mine and it’s impossible to get any work done (need to get my slides ready for tomorrow’s conference presentation!!!). Will I ever learn to just book a hotel room and not bother with AirBnB 🫠

Husband is traveling for work and he’s in a part of the world that’s known for high crime rates but also for delicious food. He’s def wiser than I am and staying safe bec I’d be out and about trying all the good food and asking the gangsters for recommendations 😭
