Did someone say #TravelTuesday? I’m excited to climb aboard again tomorrow (for Wingtip Wednesday!) and actually get some down time on this coming trip.

Where is everyone else most excited to head off to?

Five weeks ‘til I depart for Norway. I think I’m especially excited to go back to Folk & Røvere. Met such great folks and had so much fun there.

Is #mountaintopmonday a thing? Just checking.

Busy afternoon at @denverairport.bsky.social but an unusually smooth departure today.

Have you had the fried chicken at Keys gas station? OMG so good.
