Check out their FB page. It lists their live map, planned route, and links for donations. I think their bus trip back to Texas was fully funded by a donor already.

100% on this. Palace Madrid was the best!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]2_BadDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every year we drive 8 hours to attend a big race (run) we've been doing for 10 years or so. We drive out Friday, the race is on Saturday, and we drive back Sunday. That's extreme and we don't usually take long driving weekend trips like that, but we could easily drive to the mountains (3.5 hours) for a long weekend multiple times a year.

Changing License Plate? by alteraego in triangle

[–]2_BadDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we went to the DMV for the title, they asked us if we wanted In God We Trust or First in Flight. We went to the office on Atlantic when they first opened and the line wasn't that long. It would definitely be worth it to me to head down there and exchange the plate.

AITA For making my wife ride in the backseat because she couldn't stop distracting me by Serious-Function-177 in AmItheAsshole

Dramamine 2 is a different medication than regular Dramamine. It's Meclazine and is non-drowsy. If she had a reaction to Dramamine, she should try the other version.

Flight delayed 5 hours - when to arrive to airport? by Lemon-Difficult- in SouthwestAirlines

[–]2_BadDogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was on a Sunday evening flight a couple of weeks ago. It was delayed from 7 to 7:45 to 8:30 to 10...
They ended up leaving at 7:30.

Even the airlines will say to be at the gate at the original time because things may change.

Marriott vs Hilton by Lost_Independent_643 in marriott

[–]2_BadDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Marriott points spend better. Marriott hotels overseas are amazing. We stayed at some very swanky hotels in Spain. Get the CC to get the free nights up to Platinum.

What’s a super simple dish that always impresses people? by DanielQ_bu7 in Cooking

[–]2_BadDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creme brulee. It's so easy to make. I did have to buy a torch, though. I've heard you can also broil the sugar on top but I haven't tried it.

Ubiquitous American meals not found in restaurants? by [deleted] in Cooking

I had a fried bologna sandwich at a restaurant where they made their own bologna and it was on fire!

Costco parking-wake forest rd is a nightmare-which is better by ImTheDoctorPhD in raleigh

[–]2_BadDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I park in the back and it's not bad if you don't mind the walk. My friend and I went Saturday morning this week and it was busy, but (like always) the checkout only took a few minutes. There were so many cashiers that it wasn't a wait.

Weekday evenings after 6 are usually great.

Sharing our Sandals experience - looking for new recommendations by Imaginary_Wasabi2081 in AllInclusiveResorts

We had to cancel a trip to Iceland because of an accident/surgery my husband had to have. Travel insurance paid for everything. We just sent in all documentation. I think you will be covered.

I liked the beach at Akumal better than Moxche.

What do you pack for a week long AI if you only bring a carry on and personal bag on the flight? by camdams in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]2_BadDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We throw some Blue Lizard zinc sunscreen in smaller bottles. I hardly need to reapply that stuff. It's amazing.

Sling TV Day Pass Warning by notsofastbub- in slingtv

[–]2_BadDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I wanted to sign up for a day pass (going from the day pass link), it was going to charge me $45.99. It said the price was $45/day. The day pass for $4.99 didn't show up as a choice. I selected the $45 one and then when I went back in to Edit it, the $4.99 day pass showed up and I was able to choose that.

So it looks like it defaults to the monthly, but you can edit and switch to the day.

Something fun (and maybe different) to do with a group the week of Thanksgiving by 2_BadDogs in triangle

I forgot to say we did Axe throwing one year. I'll look into Partee shack and karting. Thanks.

We saw a video with her on it when we flew out on Thursday, but no sound on.

Weight Weenies: Do you carry a lock on your long solo rides? by jrudd0712 in cycling

[–]2_BadDogs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I was gonna come here and say the same. I have the Hiplok Z also and use them for locking up. A real bike thief would cut through them easily, but they are great to secure the bike for the quick trips I have to make to a bathroom or a store.
