I can’t get over how it has changed. And seeing the places I frequented in previous years that are closed is sad. But then I see places that are still there. The one thing that is bad is hotels now charge daily service fees on top of your room rate and charge for parking.

And it is so expensive. We went to Safeway and spent $50 more than we do in the mainland. But it is the first vacation we got on an airplane to go to a destination since the 2020.
