First of all, air travel is the closest that most of us will ever get to being end products at a feed lot. As I and my fellow travellers dutifully remove our shoes and shuffle barefoot across the filthy airport carpet I feel sorry for us. Air travel used to be glamorous. Not so much anymore. In old newsreels, you can watch passengers gaily boarding airplanes wearing furs and carrying bejewelled chihuahuas. Nowadays, they're carrying Big Gulps, Happy Meals and ratty fleece blankets. I fully expect to be seated next to a crate of live chickens on my next flight.
Secondly, travel makes me feel fat. Well, fatter than usual. You arrive at your destination with those twin travel demons in tow; water retention and constipation. And then you are suddenly confronted with lots of big, reflective surfaces that you have learned to avoid in your own home. (Woa! When did Emily put up a fun house mirror in her dining room????) I'm just saying...
And, finally, San Antonio is a great place to visit. This was my fourth visit to the Alamo City and I have seen and done new things each time. As proof, here are a few photos of my visit. Don't look for any pictures of me...I was feeling fat.
Looks like fun! You're not alone in the traveling fat/digestion problem- hits me everytime! I LOVE the new blog makeover!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had such a wonderful time and can't wait to relive it all again next week when we're there. And I don't think the fact that we ate out almost every meal helped the "feeling fat" issue. I know it didn't help me!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
