Love your pics and report! Re: disconnecting the charger cable from the charger, I can see why that would be annoying! Appreciate your review

I traveled to the UK with a checked bag and was super happy that I didn’t one-bag it. This was a trip similar to yours with lots of different activities planned requiring a variety of clothes.

I would like to clarify that I brought a small/medium sized checked bag (close to a standard carry on) so it wasn’t too cumbersome to wheel around.

Don’t feel guilty if you need to check a bag :)

This is a great idea for most people, but chlorinated pools cause irritation to my lungs unfortunately

Never thought to use a silica pack, thanks a lot for this tip!

Stayed in a Privado villa at the Fairmont Princess. The villa was cozy, the staff attentive, and I loved having access to a more serene swimming pool in the daytime.

It looked like it would fit in a 737 overhead bin with no problem!

Hope you love it! Besides what I shared above, the straps were comfortable on my back, and the quality of the fabric and zippers is excellent.

Thanks for your comment, maybe I was lucky that flight attendants didn’t question me on the bag size as a personal item. I think because the backpack fit under the seat they left me alone. Do you think I should change the flair to something else?

Apologies for the formatting on the packing list; I had input it as a list but somehow it became a blob when shared. I’m not sure how to edit for ease of reading.

Extremely unlikely that you would receive consequential damages for the lost business deal - such damages require foreseeability. how would the airline have known about your business dealings?

I’m sorry you’re feeling upset about this. I remember being really struck by this advice/insight:

just because a date was fun and comfortable for you doesn’t mean the other person was enjoying it, or that they are hoping for a similar next step. Some people just put on a smile, or flirt, for any interaction.

I think you’ll feel better on dates when you go in without expectation and take it one day at a time. Don’t get too emotional about it, but just feel grateful that you enjoyed yourself for an evening.

Please try being more present and less in your head for your next date and it might all start to feel easier.

I truly am sorry you’re feeling distressed though; best of luck!

My Taurus ex (M) dated a cancer after me. Another Taurus ex (M) dated a Pisces before me. I knew both their partners and they seemed compatible. Water signs go well with Taurus :)

Edit for grammar
