Even with a booking, I waited over a half hour outside in the cold before being able to go up to Sky Garden | @sg_skygarden - it was totally worth it for the views of London, especially looking south across the River Thames.

Dinner at ⭐️ BRAT Restaurant | @bratrestaurant, where my eyes were absolutely bigger than my stomach.

Glory, Glory, Tottenham Hotspur 🎶

A wonderful Friday and Saturday eating and drinking my way through London.

I used my Free Night Reward at NoMad London | @thenomadhotel, where I booked a Classic room and found myself upgraded to a Parlour Suite.

Lunch at ⭐️ Chishuru | @chishuru which, at £45 for the base plus £8 for the side set accompanying the main, is really quite the deal.

The JetBlue Mint experience on the A321LR on Flight B67 with service from JFK to LHR.

It’s taken way longer than I had ever imagined for this to happen but I finally had a meal at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Le Bernardin | @lebernardinny. I had the Prix Fixe 3 course lunch, an experience which matched the expectations I’ve always had for this restaurant.

Dinner at the long-awaited, much-anticipated Ha’s Snack Bar, the first time putting down roots for Ha’s Đặc Biệt | @has_dac_biet.

Dinner at Claud | @claud_nyc.

Two flights in one day - caught a sunrise ahead of YVR-SEA and then caught a sunrise at the end of SEA-JFK.

A wonderful Monday eating and drinking my way through Seattle.

Took a trip out to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park | @capilanosuspensionbridge to catch some holiday lights and spent some time going back and forth across a suspension bridge that is not for the faint of heart if you have a fear of heights.
