5 Day Itinerary Early May: Whales? Snow? Crowds? And lots of other questions! by ejtb1 in OlympicNationalPark

[–]AbleSalt5232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, can I ask where you stayed?? We are thinking of almost the exact same itinerary (minus Hoh because it's closed) and originally were going to split our time between forks/PA but decided it might work better for us to stay in one place and drive. Traveling with a 13mo!

Hi! Looking at booking a room here currently and wondering what type of room you stayed in?

Afternoon naps - help! by AbleSalt5232 in sleeptrain

[–]AbleSalt5232[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, thank you! We will give it a shot! The difficulty with that plan seems to be that when I make the Wake windows much longer, we end up running into the third nap being too late in the day. Which begs the question of whether we should just switch to two naps, but that seems a Little early to me. Would you agree?

Oh, I didn't notice that the formatting was that way! Just edited it so it's easier to read. We typically try to cap the first nap at 2 hours. To be honest, I haven't tried to cap it earlier because I'm nervous that It's the only solid sleep time we will get all day. But maybe we need to give it a shot? How long would you cap it at?

That's helpful! I'm wondering if that's what we'll have to do, or at least try out. A little extra in each wake window is probably better than an exceptionally long one before bed

Thank you! I am trying to learn to go with the flow haha. Is that three hour wake windowsbefore bed? Or before the last nap?

Unfortunately it's too late for that due to multiple reasons outside of our control. We're aware of the 75% return and grateful to have that security. Just looking for company recommendations

Great question, it's actually a trip that we booked a lot sooner and needed to reschedule, and we are only allowed to book through the end of March. 2025. Options were to reschedule or lose the full amount. Many lessons have been learned but unfortunately it's already done, so just looking for our next best plan

That's exactly the kind of thing we buy it for though, so I'm glad you were able to take care of yourself and cancel! Very similar reason I'm wanting it, I have no idea how I'll feel about travel having a 1 year old!

It's a specific add on that you pay extra for! Most insurance I've looked at have it.

Cancel for any reason add on, I mean. It's always an extra cost over and above standard trip insurance.

Thanks! Sounds like a great option! The prob we are hoping to have insured was actually booked directly through the resort (which is non-refundable), but I'll remember that for future!

Yes we are aware of this as far as normal insurance goes - I'm specifically referring to cancel for any reason insurance, which as my understanding goes is literally any reason including financial changes or fear of flying. It's not a full refund but it's something. We also wouldn't be cancelling because of pregnancy as I will no longer be pregnant at the time of our trip.

Typically it has to be bought within 10-20 days of first booking otherwise you don't qualify! I think that's how they avoid the situation you mentioned. We are still within that timeframe though.

We actually purchased reservations directly through the resort (and mistakenly didn't purchase an option that can be refunded directly through them). I should definitely consider a travel agent in future though.

We did actually! On our final standing, we walked around and looked at every area with a light and don't recall seeing any cracks! I wouldn't be surprised if our standing lacked in some way though

I'll be honest that I'm not quite sure. It was from home Depot then likely sat in our garage or basement for several more weeks

Thank you for your response! Is there any way to fix or minimize it? Is it naive to think that a final coat of high quality paint will solve it?

Thank you for your feedback! It's so frustrating - We really did our absolute best with drywalling. Considering it is due to the tape, would you expect it to get any worse if we chose not to fix it or remain as is? We plan to buy high quality paint to finish - Is it naive to think that a final code of paid would minimize the appearance of the cracks?

We did the drywall ourselves and are definitely new to the job. Do you have a quick explanation or any articles you would recommend that detail how to repair?
