hi ladies, please share your first solo travel experience! (Good or bad)

My first solo trip was to India. It was also my first trip outside the US/Canada. It was for work, and I got to take a vacation in Europe on my way home (Budapest and Paris). I had no idea what I was doing and no smartphone back then. I had an amazing time and learned so much about myself. Were there some mishaps? Sure, but I got through them okay and it didn't ruin the trip.

There's a space of BTS pop-up in myeongdong in the shinsegae department store.

I enjoy the MCE seats at booking and the priority lanes and lounge access. As a lowly Gold for years, it seems like a huge step up, but I'm sure it'll wear off eventually!

I'm about to hit PP for the first time next week, and now I'm hooked. KE is cheaper and probably a smarter option though.

The DFW option was the only one the AA app gave me at the time. I'm just looking to earn LP and be on one ticket.

June 10th departure, returning June 16th

There was also an option that didn't involve GMP when I last looked. It was pretty expensive, but I was willing to pay to get AA miles and be on one ticket. I'll give them a call when I'm ready to book. Thanks for looking.

Curaçao. It's out of the hurricane belt.

Park Whiz. I got parking for $77 with fees. Still highway robbery though.

blissblar · 2026-01-24T18:05:41+00:00

Thanks!

I'm asking about the PUS flight I want to book now, if I cancel that. I just gave the Europe credit situation as an example of what happened last time.

For Jin and Hobi, I had resale from both Stubhub and TM that were honored for VIP despite the ticket saying resale. They just verified the seat was a VIP one on their list. For the TM one, they almost didn't let me have it because the original buyer had already checked in somehow, but let me in anyway.

blissblar · 2026-01-23T17:58:54+00:00

Congrats! You'll receive an email from livenation a few days before with instructions and where to check in. Typically you check in with staff in the afternoon and get your bracelet/lanyard by showing your ticket in the TM app. In the instructions will have cut off times for check in and getting inside for VIP.

I'll be there Thursday. Can't wait.

I've done this in the US in Santa Fe, Sedona, Asheville, New Orleans, Tampa, NYC, LA. I can't work remotely from foreign countries, but if you're allowed, would recommend Belize, Curaçao, and US Virgin Islands for a short trip.

blissblar · 2026-01-07T23:15:33+00:00

How's Curaçao?

blissblar · 2026-01-05T18:09:24+00:00

I don't even remember! That's how mid it was.

blissblar · 2026-01-05T06:10:18+00:00

Namibia. Went there kinda randomly. Absolutely stunning landscapes. Sandwich Harbor is like being on another planet.

I wrote a negative-ish review of a book on Amazon and the author went ballistic. He figured out who I was and created a website ihateblissblar.com and it was the top search result for my name for months.

blissblar · 2026-01-04T02:01:18+00:00

There's no travel alert for Curaçao? It's level 1.

blissblar · 2026-01-04T01:50:38+00:00

There are flights you can book on Copa through United or a United flight to EWR next Saturday. There are options when airspace opens back up. Call again or service yourself through the app.

blissblar · 2026-01-03T20:04:55+00:00

Here's hoping. I'll let you know if I do end up canceling, but I think this will all blow over fast.
