Pizza would make any of my vacations perfect! No shame in admitting that 😉 Thanks for the share!

You only live once, Why not enjoy it and spend it on traveling with your love ones.

I think it is perfectly acceptable to indulge in some comfort food when you’re traveling. Besides, I had some of the best Italian food of my life in Mexico!

I studied Spanish in Mexico for a month and the coffee at my host family’s house was terrible! I ended up having Starbucks at the university. Ironically I don’t even drink it in Australia because we don’t have it (Starbucks that is).

After eating a lot of unique foods on my last trip, I too ended up at a Starbucks in Puerto Rico. They actually had decent empenadas and the frappucino had a little Caribbean flaire with coconut. It is nice to have a taste of home while abroad.

Hey, at least you had Mexican beer with the pizza! Ha. But you’re right, not everything goes according to plan. ESPECIALLY while traveling. Sounds like you know how to go with the flow though so that’s good! Thanks for sharing 🙂

You did this out of desperation and hunger so you’re forgiven! 😉

I really try to avoid any American establishments unless I need to pee (without buying anything) but sometimes it’s only natural to crave foods that we are familiar with especially if we’ve been traveling for months on end. I think you’re being too hard on yourself – you did eat local foods elsewhere in Mexico and damn Starbucks for imposing their purchase-first-pee-second rule…..lol!

It happens to the best of us. Good intentions go out the window when nature calls. At least you paired the pizza with local beer lol!

Unforeseen circumstances have happened to me a lot of times while traveling. Many times, like in London, traffic had me change my plans but that is a part of the experience too. I always try to find a place to eat before I get really hungry but that doesn’t always go according to plan and I end up at the first place I see like you did.

I have so done this! Especially the Starbucks part! Did it in Paris. In Tokyo. In Kyoto. I forgive myself. It a fact with globalization that these American franchises show up everywhere and they are super convenient. As long as you are doing it 100% of your travel – which you’re not – it’s forgivable!
