You would be surprised! it's actually more expensive. The US has cheaper flights because of the layovers! Oh, but your trips always sound soooooo cozy! thank you, friend! i will keep you in the loop haha.

omg! how exciting! have you come up with an itinerary? or must-see-spots that you'd like to take him? i fuckin' hear you! every time i turn on the news, something is going on over there. it's actually so scary because there are literal groups of people who aren't safe! so it would be the best decision for you to switch countries! plus, you give that "free-spirit" energy. so you need a free-spirit country to match you!

Also, can our pets be friends? saw Thalassophobia haha this is Torment

Oh, absolutely did strengthen our bond. We became even more inseparable, haha, which we didn't think could happen even more. OMG, CAN YOU IMAGINE? A meet-and-greet together in Europe! A dream!

Vacation! We originally wanted to go to Germany for Oktoberfest. But with Pancetta having a medical thing going on, we had to pivot to something more "budget-friendly". So we will instead have a relaxing beach getaway. I really want to go to Saona Island while we are there. 2 years ago, we went to the Bahamas and had a private boat to a different island; it was beautiful, but it was very rainy, so we weren't able to get the full experience. Last year, we went to Panama and had the same experience! So I'm crossing my fingers and toes that this year, we are able to have good weather!

Do you plan on traveling more this year?!

Yeah! I always tell her that if I could take it on for her, I would. + thank you bb, I really appreciate your words!

NO WAY THAT IS SO FUCKING CUTE! Oh, I can def understand you moving to Europe haha. YAY, I'm so happy for you, seriously!!!

Pao and I will be going to the Dominican Republic for vacation in October, so we have that to look forward to! She was in Europe at the start of the year, and we had MAJOR twin separation anxiety, haha. We would call each other all the time, just crying. Or sending each other photos of us crying because we were thinking of each other. So we decided never to do that again, lol!

Indeed! Thank you! Pancetta has been, well...still going through it. We have to schedule an MRI for her, but it costs $900, and I just don't have it right now. So we've been doing some saving. So, we are just trying to manage with meds. On Monday, she had a cluster of 5 seizures in less than 36 hrs, so I was beyond distraught.

OMG OMG? YOU MET A GUY!! I'm so glad to hear he was just as great in person. Ugh sounds like a book haha.

Sending you and your family loveeeeeee
