I would be very interested to see a pack-your-own menu for a trip like this. Is it a bring-your-own cooler and ready-made meals kind of trip?

First day off in 21+ days. My April has been busy with 12-16 hour work days, family visits and travel. I've managed to get groceries, read a novel, make food and watch a movie. Not bad on the trying-to-slow-down activities.

This was far from the world-class organization that had been implied throughout.

When I finally learned the company's identity and did research:
- Website was quickly built on WordPress with noticeable errors - didn't bother with a favicon
- They had zero Google reviews, nor Glassdoor reviews
- They had a single exterior building photo on Google Maps.
- Been around since 1989.

Despite multiple inquiries, they insisted on keeping the company name confidential until later stages.

Only really good at Barrett’s Privateers....

This just brightened my day.

Great Big Sea, Taylor Swift, Drake?
