I’m a member of a few travelling-while-fat online groups, and one thing that comes up over and over is people’s fear of flying as a fat woman. One of the shittiest things about travelling is the anxiety airlines cause for people on the regular. Which is doubly annoying, considering flights are often the most expensive part of the trip.

I love serendipitous symmetry, and one of my upcoming trip has it in spades–almost 10 years to the day I’ll be returning to Puerto Vallarta. Next month, we’re spending four nights at the Hyatt Ziva All-Inclusive to celebrate my 30th birthday.
Setting aside the shopping and celebrity sightings, the Dragcon panels alone are worth the ticket price.
Whew! What a whirlwind weekend in LA! This is the second year I attended Dragcon, and it was event better than last year…
DragCon is an amazing gathering of fans, artists, and glitter–and I can’t wait to head to LA this weekend to get back into the thick of it!
I’m headed to South America & Antarctica in January 2019. Time to start saving!
