The opposite side of last week's Saturday Happenings, as I'm back from my trip. It was a reasonably good trip from a logistics perspective (all flights on time, hurrah!), which is always nice. The entertainment unit was busted on the way to London, and given I don't sleep on flights, that was a LONG flight to not have any movies or TV to watch.
The hotel was ... interesting. I'm used to small hotel rooms, from traveling in Europe & Asia, but this was truly tiny. It had a twin bed! There was nowhere really for my suitcase to be, except wedged between the bed & the wall. ;) There were some very interesting design decisions. Oh well, I definitely appreciate being back home now.
I landed in the afternoon, Ubered home, & then unpacked & started a load of laundry. I realized there was basically nothing in the fridge, so I made myself some popcorn while I did that, and then went to the grocery store where I picked up a few things.
I was in bed by 7 pm (my goal for myself) & slept until 6 am. That's how tired I was!
For today, I have more than enough to keep me busy:
- Workout class, hopefully with a friend joining
- Grocery store for a proper stock up
- Make a meal plan for the week
- Prep some sort of healthy food!
- Virtual call with my sister + BFF, where we need to catch up on our Greece planning! It's coming up really quickly, suddenly
- Complete expense report
- Catch up on home budgeting tasks
- Start cleaning the house. It's pretty gross. Probably split into today & tomorrow
- Laundry
Thanks for sharing the picture. As I create my future travel notebook, I need to be aware of space when I see small spaces but lower cost. I truly have never seen a single room with just a twin bed before, though see them as options. I'm glad forvyou your logistics went well and your entry home seems to be working as you planned.
ReplyDeleteI can only book the room my company has pre-selected & negotiated with the hotel, so I didn't even see what the type of room it was until I arrived. My sister didn't believe me that the room/bed was that small, so I took my hoodie & laid it across the bed and the hoodie width was bigger. And, this is just a regularly sized women's medium hoodie. It was the tiniest room! - HP
DeleteWorking today but I love a good day full of laundry, catching up, and puttering around the house. (:
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't quite as productive as I'd dreamed (it never is), but I still got quite a bit done, and let's be honest, it was as much as I could handle with the jet lag. - HP
DeleteHopefully you got some travel credit or miles comp for the broken TV! If you were flying United, they’ll always throw some comp your way.
ReplyDeleteIt was a British Airways flight. The flight attendant told me that I would definitely receive something & that they had "started the process" on their side, but I haven't heard anything. I went ahead & filled out the forms on my side, so we shall see. I don't fly BA often, but maybe we will have a use for it with a code share. - HP
DeleteGlad your trip was mostly uneventful. International flights need entertainment. I am like you and cannot sleep on a flight.
ReplyDeleteGet some rest!
They certainly do! When you don't sleep, it's a LONG time to be trying to entertain yourself. - HP
DeleteI am so glad that flights were on time. I always take my ereader with me on the plane just in case things don't work correctly. My goodness that really was a tiny room.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I had my Kindle with me, luckily, but since I have library books instead of a Kindle Unlimited, I had way fewer book options. But, it was definitely better than nothing! - HP
DeleteLOL I stayed in an Airbnb in Montreal over Easter. It had a full / Queen bed but was fairly small, the washroom was bonkers. It's only good for one person, but this is tiny! I am glad flights ran on time and you got your rest!
ReplyDeleteThis room was... very interesting, let's go with. Nick has stayed in a few dorm rooms (Stanford was by far the smallest) & this was much smaller than even that! It was nuts. I had to take calls in the room in the evenings, and I could touch the walls while sitting at the "desk" area. ;-) - HP
