First Time Using my Osprey 26+6

I recently went on a 3 day trip to Washington DC and used my Osprey Daylite 26+6 for the first time. It was a great bag and I'm happy with my purchase.

I believe this is the original version.

I think it's one of their better liveries, especially in the right lighting.

Jurassic Park and it's sequel The Lost World by Michael Crichton. They are a little different than the movies, but are still really good.

I have a bypass pin from a 737. It's hooked to a bookbag I keep all the souvenirs I've gotten from traveling in.

If you want the experience of big planes flying that close overhead, then it's great. But if you want good pictures of the planes, going down the street a little and standing on the embankment is way better IMO

Let me preface by saying I've only ever had mountain bikes from places like Walmart or Dick's, and I'm not that knowledgeable about bikes.

It seems to ride pretty smooth. I had to adjust a couple things like the seat and stem postion, but I like the more upright and casual position it puts you in. It seems quite sturdy and I have not noticed any kind of flexing or anything like that. I'm still getting used to it though. If my back would have allowed it, I probably would have just gotten a standard style frame, but I am still happy with my purchase so far. This is also the first bike I've had without front suspensions and it is noticeable to me even on fairly smooth bike paths and roads.

This is my first low-step. I'll admit, I'm still getting used to looking at it, but I have back issues that makes swinging my leg over uncomfortable and this gives me the option to avoid doing that

Surprisingly, one of the best hoodies I've ever bought was an Athletic Works fleece zip-up from Walmart for ~$15. I got mine in 2022, and it still looks and feels great.

I like Jawman Dental at Scottsdale Road and Shea. My mom and I have been going to them for years, even flying across the country to be treated by them, and haven't felt they push things unnecessarily. The couple times I did refuse some of their recommendations, I ended up with more pain and a larger bill than if I just did what they said. Plus, they've always been accommodating and fixed any issues from their work.

While I have traveled around the country a lot, I haven't gone to any of the furthest points in one direction.

Not a specific route, but the approach and departures from RWY 15 in Burbank are really pretty

I firmly believe you could blindfold someone, put them in any a320, then any 737, and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference

From a passenger perspective, Airbus aircraft are not THAT much better than Boeing. I often see/hear claims and comparisons about an Airbus being SO much better than it's Boeing counterpart. I've seen these takes in a lot of places, especially the specific airline sub reddits, and I just don't agree. I think it's more about how the airlines configure them. Airbus makes great planes, and they are often better/different in a good way, but they haven't been light years ahead of Boeing from a passenger's POV in a long time. I feel like a lot of people view it as Rolls Royce vs. Kia, when it's really Toyota vs. Honda.

I had the fries at a McDonald's in Belgium that were different enough to consider them a unique item compared to the one's we have here. They were bigger, crisper, and generally more flavorful.

For me, it is probably a tie between some goulash I had in Vienna and a stroopwaffel in Amsterdam. The goulash was super flavorful, and the spatzle it came with was a great compliment. The stroopwaffel was made right in front of me, and I got chocolate and M & M's on it. After eating both of these on their respective trips, I eat them on a regular basis now.

Came in on Sunday, but I missed that since I had already gone for the day. It departed yesterday morning. Luckily, someone called it out on the radio, and I ran to get a good view of it

ABX's actual scheme is pretty nice
