It’s an entirely different year, individuals! I rang in 2020 at home with Elliot and Weasley (that would be my significant other and my feline, individually), tasting champagne and right now chipping away at some epic itinerary items for the new year.
Subsequent to going for over 40% of the year in 2019, I’ve let myself know that I’ll take it somewhat more slow in 2020… and afterward speedily proceeded to go for half of January! Oh no. Balance has never truly been my solid suit (except for my initial teen years when I was great at the equilibrium shaft… however that is unique).
My movements this month inclined intensely towards the business side of things, yet that is in reality OK since my rundown of blog entries to compose is long enough as of now without a ton of new ones being added!
This is what my month resembled:
January: The month in movement
Nations visited: 1 – The US
Urban communities visited: Paso Robles, California; Ann Arbor, Michigan; New York City, NY
Flights taken: 6
Days spent out and about: 15
The best thing I ate: Ramen at Slupring Turtle. I returned to Ann Arbor in January, this time with Elliot. Also when it’s cold and blanketed in a city where the sun sets by 5 p.m., there’s truly only one thing to do: EAT! Fortunately Ann Arbor is a foodie city, so there’s parts to browse. My cherished feast on this excursion was at Slurping Turtle, a super-famous Japanese spot. We had a few unique things, yet my most loved was certainly their duck fat seared chicken ramen. YUM.

January travel features
Visiting another piece of California – I haven’t really invested a huge load of energy in California, so it was enjoyable to visit another piece of the express this month. I flew into San Luis Obispo, went through an evening in Morro Narrows, and afterward hung out in Paso Robles for certain companions for a long end of the week. The climate was bright and gentle the whole time, and it was an extraordinary first excursion of the year.
Returning to Ann Arbor with Elliot – I fell head over heels for Ann Arbor, Michigan, on my first visit the previous summer. So it was so amusing to return in an alternate season – and this time with Elliot! We ate loads of good food, went ice skating without precedent for over 10 years, went to a random data night at a feline bistro, a few historical centers, and in general absorbed the appeal of this peculiar school town.

Returning home from New York City with influenza – It never comes up short; I go to New York City around this time consistently, and pretty much consistently get back home debilitated!

Fortunately I had no more itinerary items for the remainder of the month!
