A Burger before home
At The Wig Shop, we ended up sitting across from a male-and-female set of cousins checking out the town.
The drinks had some hilarious names, but I had to have The Traveler’s Chosen, which had both (a) a 23 year old Ron Zacapa rum and (b) sour sop, which is in the same family as pawpaws.
Her: How is it?
Me: Unbelievably delicious. Try some.
She got the Channing Ta-yum, which was made with black pepper, a nice touch that we could taste – but not quite place – in terms of where the heat was coming from.
Luckily, our hotel was pretty close by, so we didn’t have to stumble back too far.
The next day we didn’t have too much planned except I wanted a Boston Tasty Burger before we left.
Her: Wait, there’s one right at the station.
Me: Perfect, we’ll grab one right before we have to leave.
Which is exactly what we did.
Turns out that it was good we ate so heavily because our train back was delayed.
They expected it to be at least 30 minutes late, but we heard from some train staff that it was gonna be much later.
We camped at a mall as we figured things out.
The Firecracker got busy and found out that there was a much faster (and more expensive) train leaving at 2:05.
It’d actually get us home a solid hour earlier if we caught it.
BUT, because of timing, the clerk could only offer it to us for free if our old reservation was 30 min late.
Our original train was supposed to leave at 1:30 so we had to wait until 2PM to get it for free otherwise it was gonna be an extra $300.
So, we waited and hoped.
At 2PM, the clerk told us to run to the train because she was able to get us tickets (!)
So, we ended up getting home on a faster train in business class for the same cost.
A great ending to a great trip.
Me: That was fun. You’re a good travel partner.
Her: Thanks, Logan! Same.
Location: earlier today, Omega, downtown
Mood: full and a bit tipsy
Music: Send me on my way, on my way (Spotify)
