It’s 6:40am and I’ve been up for an hour. The rest of the AirBNB seems to still be asleep. I’m wondering when I can start moving to get breakfast.
Excited to travel to Tennessee tomorrow to try to save international relations between our two countries (by eating lots of BBQ and listening to Johnny, Dolly and Elvis). 🇺🇸
