    You should treat yourself more often with some hotel stays. Next time, stay for several days. Hang back and relax.

      My brother is in the military and he eats this way - It’s a hard habit to break. He showers super fast as well and is always ‘ON’ and ready to go at the drop of a dime.
      He once mentioned being in certain situations where he had to eat while running because there was no time for stopping. Their training and experiences stay with them long after they leave the military and I imagine she is no different.
      Thank you for your service, Nomi 🙏💕

    This hotel is our favourite to stay in, no matter what state we find ourselves. Their staff is outstanding and so helpful. Even if you are not a breakfast person, check it out. There are a number of choices you can take with you for the road such as yogurt, muffins, danishes, hard boiled eggs, PB&J pocket sandwiches, fruit, bagels, mini containers of peanut butter, jam, cream cheese. Safe travels!

    Grandparents lived in Galveston. Parents grew up there. We visited probably every other weekend, and I lived there for about three years. As I got older we had a beach house across the ferry in Crystal Beach. Glad to see u enjoying the beach. If u want really good seafood try Gaidos! Not a chain and the absolute best! A bit pricey but so worth it. Oh, this was probably filmed a couple of weeks ago. 😢

    @Nomadic Introvert -Nomi, get you some Hibiclens (or CVS sells their hand soap that has 2% chlorhexidine in it instead of the 4% that Hibiclens does and it’s only like $3-but you can get both from a drugstore, Walmart, Meijer, etc) and always keep it on hand for hotel trips. I have a skin disorder and Hibiclens is antimicrobial. I use it in the shower, in my laundry and to sanitize surfaces.
