Speaker 5 (00:36):
So this weekend I took my first ever solo trip
for pleasure. Like I didn't have to work, I didn't
have to be anywhere at a certain time, Like I
got to do and go where I wanted, which was great.
So I got there on Friday and figured out how
to get to the rental car place at my flut
to Newark in New Jersey, and I got a car
(00:58):
and I drove like an hour were in some change
to Eastern Pennsylvania, which is the record store that I
wanted to visit, And the first thing I noticed was
like it was a beautiful drive. I got to drive
on the Jersey Turnpike's.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Like, Gve, you are a Jersey Shore fan.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yes, I didn't do the Jersey Turnpike, but I got
to drive on it.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But I didn't know it was so mountainous and.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Like beautiful, Like I was like, sure, if anyone has
ever been so excited to go to New Jersey as
you were whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I'm a huge Jersey short fan, so I don't know.
It was cool.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So the mountain, I got to drive through mountains like
that was really cool. And there was like trees and
it was like a really beautiful, like scenic drive. I
didn't know there were mountains there, so that was cool.
I did a little exploring on Friday. I went to
Caitlin actually sent me a place in our luxury traivel
agent that called then sent me a plant store that's
also like a coffee house that was there, so that
(01:49):
was really cool. I went there and I got a
coffee and looked at plants and I sat there for
a little bit. They have like a river walk by
a museum, so I walked around there for a little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
That was really pretty.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Did you love it or did you not love it?
Like do you find thing?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Did you find it as liberating as I do to
just take an adventure by yourself in a place you've
never been and just sort of just you wake up
and you're not exactly sure what the day is going
to hold, and you just do what you want.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I did like it.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
There was like a sense of like freedom and being
able to do what I want to do. But like
I did get kind of lonely, like especially like at nighttime,
because like I wanted to like go out with somebody
or like have that like companionship, you know. So during
the day it was great because I was like busy
and I got.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
To go around whatever.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
But then when it was like, oh, you go back
to your hotel and it was like, oh, I wish
someone else was there. So it was kind of like
both sides of the coin. I guess you can say, was.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
There any crisis moment? Were there any points where because
people need to understand. People need to understand you've never
booked your own flight, hotel, or car.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah you did all of that.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, you know, you've never driven yourself alone around, right,
like in a in a you know place, foreign place,
what's foreign to you? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
So where were the moments of christ?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
There was one moment that I got like really scared,
and it was yesterday. So I was driving back and
I had around to the car and see, so I
had to fill up the gas on the way back.
So I pull off on the on the expressway and
so I pull up to the pump. I'm like, okay,
I'm gonna get out, and all of a sudden, in
my roof view hair there's this guy standing there and
I was like huh, and so like I get out
of the car and he's like, oh no, no, stay in
the car. And I'm like, what are you talking about.
He's like he's like, I'm gonna pump your gas. I'm like,
(03:22):
you mean the other day I forgot it or I
wasn't listening because he scared the crap out of me there.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
So I was like, I'm from Chicago, like we pump
our own gas. And he's like no, He's like give
me like your card or whatever. So I was like,
get me back up. Also in Chicago, like we don't.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
Do all that.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Like I'm not hand in my car to be about
the gas stations, right, So I was like okay, here
he's like, well, your gas pump's on the wrong side,
so you gotta like flip around, try to flip around,
he took my card or whatever, and he pumped my guests.
So then I looked it up and like, yeah, like
in New Jersey and Oregon, I think are the two stakes.
You can't pump your own gags. But he scared the
crap out of me because all this sudd I loked
up and I was.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like whoa, Like he was like, bro, you I would
have even though I would remember, I guess that I
knew about Oregon.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I didn't know about New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But I'm like you, if somebody walks up to me
at a place where you're next supposed to be talking
to me, I would think I was getting scammed too,
unfortunately right or.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Just pops out of your like side near like And
of course this is like his normal day to day
you know, like whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
So yeah, that was the only scary part.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
I got to go to the record store that I
wanted to visit, and I actually got to work a
little bit in the record store. Like I got a
section I was able to like help people, and of
course it.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Was the Taylor Swift sections.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Like I got to help people like you would go
on vacation and find a place to work.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
But I said, I was like, I want to work,
like put me to work, like show me you know
how you do this. And I got to see everything
and cheer on people when they bought the Taylor Swift
record and it was really fun. I had fun, and
I definitely want to go back and visit the friends
I made. But yeah, I think I would like for
someone to be with me next time.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But okay, all right, Well, I know some people are
afraid to like go eat by themselves and they don't
want to be to think people are looking at them,
or you know, travel by themselves. I'm telling you very
very liberated.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
You guys are inspiring me.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Now.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
I never would have thought of that, like going anywhere,
even if it was Indiana by myself.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
I don't do that. I couldn't. But now I'm like, wait,
it sounds actually kind of religable.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I could do it. You can do I mean I
took take out.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I didn't eat like by myself anywhere, like at a table.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
But that's another funny thing is you went and got
food to go and then winne at your hotel room.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
The best part about me alone is.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Sitting there at the bar or whatever and just watching
everybody else. You can order whatever you want. There's no judgment.
You know, I don't know. And when you get the
further you go, I think the more sort of excitement
you get because I don't know. When I went to
Asia by myself, I'm like, you know this, I'm very
far away at this point, really, so I don't know.
I'm by myself, Like, who knows. Anything could happen, right,
but I'm a large human being. But I'm still like
(05:43):
it's kind of exhilarating because you're like, well, I'm really
doing this.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
Right in the back of my head the whole weekend,
I was like, oh, if anything does go down and whatever,
like I can always drive home. It's eleven hours, but
I can do it if I need. Just like that
was almost like a little bit of comfort because I'm like, okay,
I can I have a car. I can still get around.
But if I just went somewhere where I was like
completely dependent, I don't know if I.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Can do that. I'm proud of you me too, Thank
you you did great.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
