    Secretly Filming My Husband Without Him Catching Me

    Venice:

    She shows the “highly rated breakfast” at the hotel. There is a ton of variety. She oohs and aahs appropriately.

    She shows the paperback travel books they brought along like the good 75 year old retirees that they are (this is 2014 right?)

    They walk. She tries to pronounce things.

    She shows the canals. Says they will do a boat ride at some point but it smells like sea garbage. Don is a bit offended and says “it smells like fish & water, not garbage.”

    Lots of walking and not knowing where they are or what they are looking at. Don is tense too because he also doesn’t know so I suspect they are bickering off camera a bit.

    5144635-F-D179-4133-90-BE-802-CA88699-DC

    Selfie stick in the Piazza San Marco and she’s grinning like a loon

    Riveting story (not) about Don & pigeons attacking his head when he was 12.

    Jen shows stuff and just says beautiful and pretty. Confusion about whether she’s in a church or a museum and Don reminds her that “we knew the church was closed…”

    This seriously is like watching someone’s boring home movies.

    They go to a highly recommended restaurant from the Senior Citizen tour book for lunch. Apparently Jennifer has decided to order what Don was going to get (gnocchi bolognese) so he’s going to get ravioli instead and she’s somehow mad about this? Don got the local spritz to drink but isn’t sure what’s in it (spoiler alert: it’s pink)

    5-F865-BDE-2903-4440-8-D5-E-8-D034111-CB38

    They walk somewhere where a local musician “is playing some song on a tiny little guitar.” It’s from The Godfather you dolt :20130930101758-5e972761:

    C25885-F5-72-E8-4-EB0-B09-D-9-AB45962-B92-D

    Smells old like a flea market (so cultured)

    They go to a music museum and bicker non stop about how to pronounce things, what they are, whether she is showing the instruments and not just the sign (she snottily assures him she is)

    Getting ready for dinner and barefoot Don walking on hotel carpet :sick:

    This is where we get the infamous “don’t worry I’ve got a time telling device on” :rolleyes:

    You also have cell phones you morons. There’s A CLOCK on the Home Screen.

    This is the Pissy Dinner From Hell

    Don gets the girliest drinks:
    EC616906-46-CD-47-A2-9-D98-2-BBB2667-A4-A8
    He big mad. “Obviously that’s not always true but this had vodka in it.” Settle down Big Guy. I know you have alcohol withdrawal shakes…

    170-E2-EE2-1-C33-4-EDF-BFC8-386-B30191-B14
    Said drink

    They split a big pizza as appetizer and are mad the cheese isn’t really on the pizza.

    Don gets seabass. Jen gets something fried.

    They discuss their opinions on dinner where Don thought it was very good but “apparently Jennifer doesn’t like seabass.” And baby Jen says “they don’t need to know that…”
    Psst, Jen, you CAN edit that out you know. This isn’t live…


    TL;DR
    Boring AF. If you want to skip to Pissy Dinner it starts around 15 minute mark

    An excellent summary, Bangle!

    She really had a mean streak on this trip and I can see why Don was snippy with her.

    Mr Ratchet and I are going to London and Paris in a few weeks (his first trip overseas) and we weren’t able to fly direct to LHR without paying thousands of extra dollars so we layover in JFK - except Mr doesn’t care because he wants to go hang out in the Amex Centurion Lounge lol. Didn’t Jen and Don not realize that they could go into the lounge or something? What a bunch of “serious travelers”.

    They did go to the lounge when they had their layover in Madrid. It's where Jen looks sloppy. They were sitting on the floor of the train station in Italy.

    I didn’t watch her packing video on the organization university or whatever but she mentioned taking out her liquids. Does she not have even have pre check? I would assume she had that and global entry. But I guess not

    I couldn’t even get half way though it. She acts like it’s cute to be dumb. It’s not cute. Italy is wasted on them.

    Exactly. I met so many local artisans when I traveled to Florence and Venice and talked to other people in general who were eating at the same places I was. I am absolutely in *LOVE* with that country and the whole culture.....and she just faffed around like an idiot. She's a flipping art major and didn't even describe the churches/museums/etc that she was showing. Ugh.

    I never gave her MRS Degree much thought until this trip. She could have cared less. It was just: soooooo pretty. Ooooh, just beautiful. Always look at the ceilings in Italy…

    They really were the weirdest couple. It goes without saying Jen is the worst, but I do hope Don matured and became less annoying as he entered a new marriage. It would only benefit him to let go of the weird descriptions (I.e time tracking device), overly long and all-knowing explanations, and constant corrections.

    Time Tracking Device was Jen’s response to his “Did I forget my watch at home?”

    I love that they act like the pizza with the cheese in the middle is so strange, they literally analyze it like some sort of alien creature.

    And our next installment:

    https://rumble.com/vlj9xo-venice-italy-day...er-22-2014.html

    Not much to it. They bickered about being lost and get caught in a hail storm. It's an incredible skill to make Italy look boring.

    Also, I'm not sure that filming was allowed in some of the churches, but ignorant, content driven Jen doesn't seem to notice, ask or care.

    IIRC, at some point she will film a NO FILMING sign (in English no less)
