Speaker 1: I've been traveling a bit for different reasons, personal reasons,
Speaker 1: going on a romantic trip with Paul, an amazing work
Speaker 1: trip to launch my wine in France. I like being
Speaker 1: home better, I really do. We get caught up, and
Speaker 1: I think because of pandemic and being trapped in our houses,
Speaker 1: we even more, you know, want to go and soar
Speaker 1: the friendly skies. And I'll say, as someone who can
Speaker 1: afford to travel anywhere that I want, and pretty much
Speaker 1: at any time that I want, I would rather be home.
Speaker 1: I just would rather be home with my dogs and
Speaker 1: with my own bathtub, and with my own sleep schedule,
Speaker 1: and with my own freedom. And it doesn't mean I
Speaker 1: never want to go anywhere again, doesn't mean sometimes it's
Speaker 1: winter and you get chili and you want to go
Speaker 1: experience something, or you want to do a sport. But
Speaker 1: I just have to say, there's nothing like being home.
Speaker 1: I am on the verge of saying travel is overrated.
Speaker 1: I've gotten to the point where I like travel for
Speaker 1: work because then you can just add something onto it.
Speaker 1: So if you know you have to go to France,
Speaker 1: which is very luxurious and was very fortunate for me
Speaker 1: to launch a Rose wine, then go for an extra
Speaker 1: couple of days with your child or your friend. Or
Speaker 1: I'm going to Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm going to Colorado Springs
Speaker 1: for work, so attach something to that so then you're
Speaker 1: ready gonna get tired, um and exhausted and like make
Speaker 1: the most out of that. I always love when I
Speaker 1: get an appearance in Orlando, because then it means then
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the exhausting Disney or Universal trip
Speaker 1: with my daughter. But I will say that electing to
Speaker 1: just spend so much money and travel so far, I
Speaker 1: don't think it's worth its weight. I would rather be home, um,
Speaker 1: and people say, oh, you have beautiful homes, etcetera. I
Speaker 1: would rather be in a small apartment in many cases
Speaker 1: and just having a staycation and taking nice walks. And
Speaker 1: I get activated. I get I don't like all the
Speaker 1: stuff in the past, in the unpacking and where's my toiletrees?
Speaker 1: And I lost this and I'm gonna leave that, and
Speaker 1: I can't fit into my suitcase and this bottle exploded
Speaker 1: and broke all over everything, and you know I feel that,
Speaker 1: I really really feel that. So I your skin is dehydrated,
Speaker 1: like you know, you're exhausted, you feel dirty, you get
Speaker 1: off a plane. You know what time it is. I
Speaker 1: just feel that while I will continue to travel, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be a hermit. I just appreciate home in
Speaker 1: the most. So if you did not get to travel,
Speaker 1: please do not feel bad, because I will say I
Speaker 1: think it's overrated. And while we're watching Instagram and all
Speaker 1: these people and these famous people on these boats, I
Speaker 1: want to tell you a story and it's not that relatable,
Speaker 1: but I still want to tell it to you. The
Speaker 1: reason it's not relatable is because it's expensive, and it
Speaker 1: was a boat. We call it a boat. You're not
Speaker 1: supposed to. I guess it's like cheesy to say yacht,
Speaker 1: but it was. I was on it. I've been on
Speaker 1: large boats before, guests of other people. So you go
Speaker 1: on a wealthy person's boat, no matter how big the
Speaker 1: boat is, and I mean boats can be hundreds of
Speaker 1: feet where they seem like home, right, No matter how
Speaker 1: big the boat is, you're on somebody else's program. The
Speaker 1: tendency is that people who rent large boats or own
Speaker 1: large boats like to be in control. They have b
Speaker 1: b c s. It's a big boat complex. So these
Speaker 1: people it's their boat, he or she who makes the
Speaker 1: gold makes the rules and they want to run the program.
Speaker 1: And being on a boat means the program. What time
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave, and what we're gonna stop on that port,
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna be there for how long? And
Speaker 1: what time do we have dinner? And what time is
Speaker 1: this going to happen? And what time do we take
Speaker 1: the jet skis off? And we have to do this
Speaker 1: and we have you know, cocktails on the bow or
Speaker 1: the back or whatever it's called. Like it's it's running.
Speaker 1: It's someone's running a program now. No matter how big
Speaker 1: the boat is, and I mean big, big, um, there's
Speaker 1: always some limitation with the bathroom size, the closet. There's motion,
Speaker 1: there's rocking. I don't have good boat karma. I was
Speaker 1: literally lost at sea for between twenty one and twenty
Speaker 1: four hours between talking in Block Island, which yould take
Speaker 1: four to six hours to get you on a boat. Um.
Speaker 1: I we almost died on a boat in Columbia on
Speaker 1: the Housewives. I had another experience that no one saw
Speaker 1: and I think that same trip with Rocky s. I
Speaker 1: do not have great boat karma. There's this is not
Speaker 1: a lie. You can ask Matt Anderson Bravo really doesn't
Speaker 1: enjoy having me on a boat. It's just bad karma, okay, um,
Speaker 1: So I don't care how big a boat is. You're
Speaker 1: on someone's program, and I don't love to be a guest.
Speaker 1: Meaning I remember my I keia apartment, my my my
Speaker 1: nineteen or twenty one hundred dollar a month New York City.
Speaker 1: I kea apartment a few hundred square feet, had one
Speaker 1: before that, there was always I think studio. I was
Speaker 1: on my own program. I woke up, I walked my dog,
Speaker 1: I went to the Delhi a. But I wanted to
Speaker 1: eat at what time I wanted to eat. I'm not
Speaker 1: a very big like every meal every day, the same
Speaker 1: meal kind of person. I don't understand why we have
Speaker 1: to decide today we're gonna eat tomorrow lunch. How the
Speaker 1: funk do I know? How would I know what I
Speaker 1: want to eat tomorrow for lunch? Now gotta make a
Speaker 1: plan with the person's chef, and you gotta be there.
Speaker 1: And of course, if you decide to get off and
Speaker 1: go into the town, you're leaving everybody and you you're
Speaker 1: not on the program because you're with a person who's
Speaker 1: a BBC A big boat complex you're supposed to be
Speaker 1: on their program. They're rich, you're not. That's the price
Speaker 1: of going on someone's boat. Okay. I don't love to
Speaker 1: be a guest in that way. I'd rather be on
Speaker 1: my own program and be on a little dinghy. So
Speaker 1: for years, when I saw my company, and you know,
Speaker 1: I always like say, like, you know, one time we'll
Speaker 1: get a boat, and paulse I was like, one time
Speaker 1: we'll do a boat, you know, And then you always
Speaker 1: price it out and you think about doing it overnight
Speaker 1: and it's a fortune. And then and that's why I
Speaker 1: like people say if it flies, fuck, if it flies,
Speaker 1: fox or floats, rent it, because having your own play
Speaker 1: in your own boat whatever, it's gonna be problems, no
Speaker 1: matter how big or small a boat is. So you
Speaker 1: always think about it. You have a fantasy, and then
Speaker 1: you're pricing at the boat for the day. It's still
Speaker 1: too expensive, and you never do it. So someone presented
Speaker 1: us with a boat trip for a trip this summer,
Speaker 1: and it was gonna be a big trip. And Paul
Speaker 1: wants to feel like he's we're being more social because
Speaker 1: whenever we go away, it's just the two of us
Speaker 1: were isolated, staring at each other at every meal, and
Speaker 1: we have a great time, and we run our own
Speaker 1: program and we travel similarly and we laugh, we have
Speaker 1: a great time. Um, traveling with kids also fairly overrated,
Speaker 1: to be honest, Like if I go along with Britain, great,
Speaker 1: if you go with a bunch of people and kids,
Speaker 1: then you're like, then you're spending money to be on
Speaker 1: their program. So that's a different story for a different time.
Speaker 1: There are certain trips for kids. Galapa goes Disney, like
Speaker 1: you know what you're getting into. You know, it's fueled
Speaker 1: by wine and cotton candy and that's what that is.
Speaker 1: But um, I digress. So we go on trips on
Speaker 1: our own and we roll nicely, but so in our minds.
Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, what if we ever did a boat?
Speaker 1: Someone presented to us a boat and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's be social and he's not social
Speaker 1: and I'm not social at all, and we're both not guests.
Speaker 1: But we'll be social because means we're going at to
Speaker 1: dinner with other people, we're talking, we're chatting, we're like,
Speaker 1: you know, and you don't think of what that really
Speaker 1: is like because then you're also like you're checking in.
Speaker 1: You're not it's not your program, it's not there program.
Speaker 1: You're paying your own way, but like you're checking in,
Speaker 1: like what are we gonna do for this? And it's
Speaker 1: the same conversations I said before, but just with other
Speaker 1: more other people. It's even better to be controlled because
Speaker 1: then one person is making a decision. In this case,
Speaker 1: everybody's got an opinion on the town, on the food,
Speaker 1: on the boat, toys, on the stuff. We were not
Speaker 1: on a mega boat. We were on a large boat
Speaker 1: for but any it's called a yacht for sure. It's
Speaker 1: it was I just know it's not relatable and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but it's a big boat, okay. And it was very expensive.
Speaker 1: It's definitely the most expensive trip I've ever been on
Speaker 1: in my life. So it's gonna be amazing because we're
Speaker 1: in control and you get to go to different places
Speaker 1: and wonderful. So we get on this boat and all
Speaker 1: the things I said before true, and you're planning of
Speaker 1: the meals and whatever. And it's presented when you go
Speaker 1: on a boat and you go into one else's boat.
Speaker 1: It's you get off the there there that you get unpacked.
Speaker 1: It's like miraculous, some fancy hotels do that. I like
Speaker 1: to unpack myself, but the idea of someone unpacking you
Speaker 1: is just and that you know, is wild. So you know,
Speaker 1: no one unpacks you on this boat. And and there's laundry.
Speaker 1: The thing is that, like I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: boat staffs like they they fold up your laundry and
Speaker 1: put it on, like after you wear a T shirt.
Speaker 1: So people bring carry on because they know everything's getting
Speaker 1: So so the first night of this very expensive boat,
Speaker 1: like think the most expensive hotel room you could ever
Speaker 1: imagine and multiply that times four or five. And then
Speaker 1: you're sitting on the boat in the first night and
Speaker 1: you see, like you're in your room and like not
Speaker 1: even like in a hotel room where you like to
Speaker 1: make a turn down service or someone comes in. That
Speaker 1: doesn't happen all day. Everything is the same way you
Speaker 1: left it. You left a wet towel, it's still there,
Speaker 1: like you know, days later. So the first day you're
Speaker 1: on the dinner where the like you're eating outside having dinner,
Speaker 1: and you see all this and I'm gonna delay telling
Speaker 1: you the name of the boat. I gotta think about
Speaker 1: that and the charter company because I gotta think about that.
Speaker 1: You can dm me if you want to know what
Speaker 1: boat not to rent and what charter company not to
Speaker 1: rent through that's a thought for me, just like if
Speaker 1: I want to let that go. But I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you the story. So you're we're sitting outside eating and
Speaker 1: we see towels and giant clothes pins holding probably like
Speaker 1: six towels like outside on this boat. Like I don't
Speaker 1: know that I want to see how the sausage gets made,
Speaker 1: Like I don't need to see like hanging laundry on
Speaker 1: a boat that we just rented. So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: So we're like we're gonna have to discuss that. It
Speaker 1: didn't seem like that needed to be discussed, Like I
Speaker 1: just thought, like I've never seen laundry outside in a
Speaker 1: hotel room or on a boat of like pretty much
Speaker 1: any size, you know, so unless we're living on the boat.
Speaker 1: We live on a sailboat now, and we want air
Speaker 1: dried laundry, I guess. So I'm like, okay, And you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be spoiled, and you're you're you're
Speaker 1: you're centered in your privilege. But the thing about me
Speaker 1: is that I will spend money I will not waste money.
Speaker 1: I take food to go. I don't over order. I
Speaker 1: don't like being ripped off. I will buy an expensive
Speaker 1: handbag or watch, but it better be high quality and
Speaker 1: last me the rest of my life. I don't like
Speaker 1: being taken. I don't like scams in hotels. I just
Speaker 1: I'm not that girl. I remember where I came from.
Speaker 1: I remember my studio apartment, I remember bouncing checks like
Speaker 1: I am not spoiled. I very much understand the value
Speaker 1: of a dollar, and I made every dollar that I have.
Speaker 1: So now I'm like, Okay, that seems strange. So then, um,
Speaker 1: we are we are told, But I'm the only one
Speaker 1: who understands that we are told. Toilet paper cannot be
Speaker 1: put in the toilet of the boat. I never heard
Speaker 1: of that before. I never experienced that before. That wasn't
Speaker 1: in the pamphlet. And I don't think I would go
Speaker 1: on any vacation where I can't use toilet paper in
Speaker 1: a toilet. So I'm start rule following, and I'm you know,
Speaker 1: luckily I do. I don't want to get into detail.
Speaker 1: I'm not a person like potty humor or talk, but
Speaker 1: I don't I I have had digestive issues. I do
Speaker 1: not have a problem. They're like, I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: this particular part except for urinating. So I am like, okay,
Speaker 1: So I have to wipe myself after I urinate and
Speaker 1: put it in a garbage can. As it turns out,
Speaker 1: this particular garbage can has a top on it has
Speaker 1: like a wooden circle that you pressed in like the
Speaker 1: side goes through. So by definition, I guess you could
Speaker 1: really really wrap and use a lot of extra toilet
Speaker 1: paper and really give yourself like a mit. But but
Speaker 1: you're like touching the outside of the thing as you're
Speaker 1: putting like your p paper in the garbage. So, by
Speaker 1: the way, note to boats that don't have toilet set
Speaker 1: work with paper, please have an open trash bin so
Speaker 1: I don't have to like touch the top. Okay. Note
Speaker 1: not that this will ever happen again. So I'm like okay.
Speaker 1: So um, Then at the end of the day, the
Speaker 1: garbage has have been like you know, taken out. So
Speaker 1: I go to bring my own garbage out. To take
Speaker 1: my own garbage, I have to forget where to take it,
Speaker 1: and I'm going upstairs and Paul's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm taking my garbage at and like,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, like, I know how much it Like,
Speaker 1: I just don't take my garbage out of hotel rooms
Speaker 1: like the days in the double Tree that gives you
Speaker 1: free warm, gorgeous cookies, you don't take at your own garbage.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to be relatable and not spoiled when
Speaker 1: I tell you that, Like, now I've spent money and
Speaker 1: I want to get a return of my investment. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be looking at laundry and throwing out
Speaker 1: my own toilet paper and my garbage after it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I know what if I had to go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom for real, though I don't really have that
Speaker 1: problem because whatever. But I'm thinking, you know that not
Speaker 1: everybody's like me where they don't go that often. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that doesn't feel that fun. So Paul's like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? So I tell him, you know
Speaker 1: this rule and he and you know, he's like, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to not include other people. I'm specifically not including
Speaker 1: other people. Um, so maybe we don't even say I
Speaker 1: mentioned that there is a rule on this boat that
Speaker 1: nobody can use toilet paper, and it's responded to with
Speaker 1: what the funk are you talking about? That's insane. I'm
Speaker 1: like no, And now we're on the Housewives, and now
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm living in the Housewives on
Speaker 1: a boat and I'm like, no, no, no, it happened.
Speaker 1: No it didn't. It's I'm like, roll the tape, pull
Speaker 1: the fucking like, no it didn't. That did not. I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: it did. Yes, And I got scolded by one of
Speaker 1: the members of the crew in front of other people,
Speaker 1: not in a mean way, but like somebody used the
Speaker 1: toilet in the downstairs bathroom and I'm the one who's
Speaker 1: just ping and I and one time I had to
Speaker 1: put my hand in the toilet to get out a
Speaker 1: piece of paper that I accidentally put in with peing.
Speaker 1: You know what happens um when you pee sometimes automatically
Speaker 1: wipe yourself and put it in the toilet because it's
Speaker 1: called the toilet paper. So like I made the Errow
Speaker 1: couples and saw myself on vacation in an experience that
Speaker 1: costs four or five times more than the most expensive
Speaker 1: hotel room you could in fathom staying in think presidential
Speaker 1: suite and Caesar's pat like think big. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: nowlet's touched my own urine, my urins, touched a tab
Speaker 1: of a garbage can, have taken out my own thing.
Speaker 1: I'm watching laundry, but like, what the funk is going on?
Speaker 1: So um, I don't want you to know. I'm by
Speaker 1: the way, the big major boat alerts that I've been
Speaker 1: on that are three times the size of this boat
Speaker 1: or two and a half times of really, you know,
Speaker 1: wealthy people where I'm on their program, I did not
Speaker 1: have this experience. So I'm not going to say that
Speaker 1: all boats are created equal. Okay, I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: to you, don't envy everybody's travels, because I promise you
Speaker 1: we what I could, what we could have bought, or
Speaker 1: the Safari experience for twenty people that we could have
Speaker 1: had for what we paid. We could have stayed in
Speaker 1: the four seasons Bali or Maldeves hear me out for
Speaker 1: fifteen days in the nicest sweet possible for what wiping
Speaker 1: my myself and and putting my hand in a toilet
Speaker 1: bowl cost. So I just want you to know that
Speaker 1: I'm not only going to ever tell you the good.
Speaker 1: I'm not a person that filters myself I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: act like everything I'm doing is glamorous and fabulous, because
Speaker 1: it's fucking not. And I would literally, not exaggerating, I
Speaker 1: would rather be in so Caucus, New Jersey, in a
Speaker 1: motel six. That's not true. That's actually not true. Let
Speaker 1: me really think about it. I would rather be in
Speaker 1: Kansas City, allowed to use the bathroom, my body, my choice,
Speaker 1: than I would have to have the anxiety about this,
Speaker 1: so travel can be overrated. I did not mention that
Speaker 1: once we realized that um we were on a lavish,
Speaker 1: expensive yacht uh fishing in my own urine, that we
Speaker 1: would get off, and it was important to palm my
Speaker 1: fiance to make it clear that uh he and I
Speaker 1: decided to check into a nice hotel. And don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, we are frustrated and still talking about the
Speaker 1: fact that it was wasted money and we don't have
Speaker 1: that time or money to waste, but particularly the time
Speaker 1: because we're long distance and being together is so important
Speaker 1: and valuable, and so I guess to the tail is
Speaker 1: to really research ahead of time. Sometimes you don't want
Speaker 1: to deal with so much planning and organizing with travel
Speaker 1: ahead of time. It's a pain in the ass, and
Speaker 1: you just think you're gonna get there and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. You don't really look at a hotel him.
Speaker 1: I often I like to take bath sets, my body,
Speaker 1: my choice, and I often don't look at a hotel
Speaker 1: room has a bath and if I'm away, I want
Speaker 1: to be able to just sit in a bathtub, like
Speaker 1: I just like that, or if you don't want to
Speaker 1: wash your hair, like little dumb things, and I never
Speaker 1: look at it. Now it's on the list that I
Speaker 1: want to do that. Or some people care if there's
Speaker 1: a gym, even if it's in a day's in, Like
Speaker 1: is there a gym? I don't care about that, But
Speaker 1: oh my god, if I were a nice hotel, I
Speaker 1: love if there was a steam room or a little
Speaker 1: cheap osana, like little things that are important. Think of
Speaker 1: it ahead of time, think about asking about things like
Speaker 1: laundry or I don't know, whatever your thing is. It
Speaker 1: just we did not who the hell what everything to
Speaker 1: ask if you could flush toilet paper on a fucking toilet.
Speaker 1: But I guess now you should think about that. If
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have to go to the bathroom in
Speaker 1: an outhouse at a hotel, you're staying at so we
Speaker 1: checked into a hotel, wasted a ton of money, and
Speaker 1: the bottom line is I'd rather be home. I love home,
Speaker 1: home right now, and home is where my heart is,
Speaker 1: and home is where my toilet is. That works, so
Speaker 1: that's good too,
