Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm now sailing out of Spain, so I'm having to buy a bunch of stuff that I am really not familiar with at all, brands that I've never heard of.
I grew up in California and I cannot speak a lick of Spanish. So, pretty much any brand that has some English on it is the brand that I'm defaulting to.
kind of thinking about buying a pillow cuz normally you just get a pillow that has existed on that ship for the last 15 years.
Oh yeah, this is nice. This might be it. This is a great pillow.
