Came back from vacation two days ago and already feels like two months since a vacation 😂

I am so annoyed with lack of apple card integration with other providers like personal capital, mint (now moot), or other tools. At this point I feel like giving up using apple card all together and just use my chase card for all purchases. I am not sure what value apple card has ever brought in the first place.

Look I loved eating all the variety of Caribbean cuisine and especially all the fish delicacies all week but nothing warms my heart and satisfies my tummy more than dal rice and bhindi subji. Comfort food at last!

I slept last night and most of today like I just came back from climbing the Kilimanjaro. I was at a fucking beach for almost a week where my goal was to recharge and reenergize, not to come home feeling like I needed a proper rest break. Agreed, we did do a lot of things in Aruba, but still, I shouldn’t be … tired.

Everything they say about Aruba airport being a horror show came true. Wow, even the most chaotic Indian airport is more streamlined than the complete and utter chaos this place is. Add in a 2 hour delay with United and then a baggage carousel that stopped working in DC, it truly was an exhausting return back.

But you know what made it all better in ten seconds? The unbridled joy and happiness on our doggo’s face on seeing us. Most joyful part of the day was this hands down!

Can’t wait for SCOTUS to throw out all cases against their master leader lol. I do not expect anything less from this Supreme Court.

Last day of beach time today and I have made up my mind to drag the family with me to eat shrimp sold by weight! It better be good!

At breakfast my kid starts annoying me and says “I am going to go to college in Texas!” And I responded back with “why would you want to go college in a state where women are treated as second class citizens!”. Perhaps I said it too loud but I got the death stare from a bunch of ladies at the next table. Well, oops, but truth is bitter.

One of the last cousins is getting married in India as I am holidaying here. Looking at the pics and fam together makes me miss the whole thing so much. Too bad we couldn’t get our itinerary together to fit an India trip.

There was a time I loved the allure of all inclusive resorts, particularly when the kid was a toddler. Now we abhor it. The flexibility of having a car and being able to eat anywhere anytime while exploring the place is far greater than the convenience of eating all inclusive buffets or restaurants in specific time windows. Plus the kid is older so it’s not like we need a structured day as before! Makes these trips so much more fun. Added bonus? Not going for a meal plan will save you a ton of money to do other stuff!
