Because Eventually I Have To Die, Maybe
“First Class Bitches”
Chelsea: Did you already register or whatever how many bags we are checking?
Adam: No it didn’t ask.
Chelsea: Oh, can you check a bag for me maybe? I would like to bring an extra one to bring our shopping home.
Adam: Yeah we can do it at the counter. And we have priority status at the counter.
Chelsea: Why do we have priority status?
Adam: Because we’re flying first class, bitches. Coach can’t hold our awesomeness.
I must say that my boyfriend and I travel in two separate worlds sometimes. I stay on friend’s couches and in cockroach filled hostels. He books the best suites he can and upgrades to first class on flights. I’m not going to complain, not for a second, because he always takes me to “travel in style” with him and I generally get a free trip out of his vacations. I just find it funny that we manage to travel together and not kill each other. Granted, I do prefer nice hotels and rental cars over non-air-conditioned subways and shared bathrooms. We’ve been talking about going to Europe together next summer and while I estimate we need 2-3 grand each, he seems to think he’ll need $10,000 CND to keep us in hotels as opposed to hostels (though with fuel prices we may need $10,000 just to get across the pond).
Regardless of our travel differences, we manage to have fun when we go away together. And he does help me cross things off of my list. This little surprise is going to fulfill #172 which is to fly somewhere first class. I can’t think of a better place to go first class than Las Vegas! Less than 20 hours until take off!

After a sleepless 12 hour over night Greyhound stint, stuck sitting next to the bathroom, Manhattan can seem a little daunting the first time you see it from a distance. And from there, it only gets worse. You climb off the bus into the August heat, trying to find the right Subway entrance. You have

Relevant Reading – the Thanks but No Thanks Edition

This week is all about things that aren’t about to make it onto my life list any time soon. I’m trying to be adventurous and open to new experiences, but some things are just beyond my personal threshold. Case in point: Pulpit Rock. The articles are still great and interesting, the subjects just happen to
My Top Ten

I think by now my list has every continent, and possibly even every country, on it. Of course, like with all things, I have a few favoured destinations, ones that distract me from everything. 1. Iceland Most people like warm destinations, but being Canadian, I prefer familiar temperatures and not having to buy new clothes
The Philosophy of “Just Do What You Want”

I don’t wax philosophical much on this blog, but in real life I’m the love child of Socrates and Plato (the gayest of all the philosophers: fact). And I’ve had a giant mental shift. The other night, laying in my super pink room, worried deeply about my future, Adam told me something that blew my
#591 – Tang

The conversation went like this Mom: Why did you get Tang when you don’t like orange flavour. Me: … Mom: I mean what inspired you? Me: I didn’t know what Tang was. Mom: Great job. And that was how crossing number #591 off my list went. When I added “Try Tang” to my list, I

Pulpit Rock Photo Montage image via Dilidou Heights are not my thing. Thus, Pulpit Rock in Norway scares the crap out of me. Just watching those people sit leisurely on the edge makes me sink to the carpet covered floors of my room in my “safety crouch” (reserved for swinging bridges, gondola lifts, driving on

This is a new feature I’m starting. Through Twitter and StumbleUpon I end up reading a ton of articles ever week that are relevant to my life list. Some are just other life lists, some are travel blogs, and some are how to guides for silly things. They give me inspiration, a good laugh, or
Halifax

The trip to Halifax was interesting. It wasn’t my choice to go out there, more of a last minute decision to accompany my boyfriend to see his extended family. The trip was very nice, not just for the sights but for having been able to meet his amazing and generous family. We stayed in an
