June 20, 2022 – I’m struggling! I’m heading south for my travel review blog Le Globe-téteux. Everything is paid for by the Dora-Dora tourist office, the Air Bête aviation company, the Cheapo 5-star hotel chain, the Soumort brand of alcoholic beverages, the Brûlez Égal sun lotion brand and a swimwear line. Small package. I have to say everything was amazing. Feel free to write! My first trip after the pandemic, it was MALAAAAADE! I’m going to renew my passport, that’s the start!!!!
June 21, 2022 – I’m in line at the passport office. There are people on TA! What is their problem!!?? Can’t get their passport made during the pandemic!? Why wait until we finally get the right to travel!? Almost unmanageable!
June 23, 2022 – I am still at the passport office. I was here for two days and two nights. Luckily I brought a Saumort crate that I got for free.
June 24, 2022 – It shouldn’t be too long. Got to number 76 and I have 1077. Well, I’m going to spend Saint-Jean here. I’m going to ask Karin to bring my guitar.
June 25, 2022 – Reached 128. Things are progressing. We spent the night singing Mario Pelchat: “I don’t like traveling, traveling without you. »
June 27, 2022 – I have my passport tab! Took a week!!! I’m so into the sacrament that I look like a picture of myself on it. I have to laugh again for stories of packing my bags full, I owe Full Pack two posts. I’m calm! A little visualization: Tomorrow, I have two butts in the sand!
June 28, 2022, 3:30 pm – My Uber dropped me off at the airport. There are so many here! Looks like an emergency! Luckily I arrived two hours early.
Jun 28, 2022, 5:30 pm — I’m sitting in line. A plane is not a tail, but a tail is a tail. The flight was delayed. Even my full packed suitcases were not checked in.
June 29, 2022 – Still in Dorval. I need to get a pillow sponsorship myself. Not only that but I have to work. Today, I have three photos to post in a petite pocket bathing suit at the beach. I have no choice, I’m going to be here wearing my swimsuit and taking selfies. After all, we were all lying on the ground, like on a beach, no sand or water.
June 30, 2022 – Air Bête just canceled my flight. Worse I can’t pay it back, I didn’t pay for it. To quit is to die a little, not to quit is to die! what am i doing I will try to get sponsored by Air Canada.
1er July 2022 – It worked! Air Canada hired me as an influencer. Except now, they don’t need influencers to influence the world to travel, they need influencers to influence the world to stay at home. Going back home I have to film myself. I’ve got my suitcases and I’ll do it.
July 2, 2022 – I’m still in Dorval. I am waiting for my bags. It should not be too long.
July 3, 2022 – Just found out my suitcases are back at Dora-Dora. There are a lot of suitcases in that place, and to be clear, there are flights with just suitcases. My Suitcase was just published on Globe-têteux.ca, Dora-Dora published two photos of her at the beach, if you go and like them, gang! Thank you!
July 4, 2022 – Back home after a two week vacation. I’m not toast at all. At least I can post to say that the Brûlez Égal cream completely protects! Good to be back home! Finally, confinement is fun!
