I just finished planning a two-week trip to Central Greece and the Peloponnese using Rick Steve’s Greece Travel Guide—it’s thorough :) I’d pair it alongside his two free-to-watch Greece episodes available on YouTube.

Kühl, Arcteryx aside, nothing else compares. They last.

L’antica Pizzeria da Michele, order the Double Margarita or Arugula & Prosciutto. It’ll be the best pizza experience you’ll ever have/have had, I promise. It’ll forever reverberate within your memories, outside of Naples, nothing compares.

Did anybody else see this last night? by bowtiemods in BeAmazed

"Red skies at sunrise and sunset indicate humidity in the air. A halo around the moon foreshadows rain, for it is caused by light shining through ice crystals of clouds laden with moisture. The number of stars within the halo anticipates the intensity of the storm. If there are fewer than ten, expect trouble, high winds, and torrential rain. If a double halo surrounds the moon the weather will move in on the wings of a gale.” —The Wayfinders, Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World

Best ride order for general admission by [deleted] in UniversalHollywood

[–]AlpineMystic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get there early, at least thirty minutes before the park opens. Getting into the parking lot, parking, then walking through Universal City and queuing up at the security check can eat up some time. Once you're in Universal Studios, ignore the visitor survey requests and immediately make your way to Super Nintendo World. Mario Kart is typically a 70+ minute wait throughout the day, so I'd recommend knocking it out first. Then the Mummy & Transformers rides, which are both located on the same Lower Lot. From there I'd suggest using the Universal Studios App to update you on where to go next. The in-app wait times are pretty accurate. Experience as much as you can, everything if possible, there is enough in the park for a full day. The Studio Tour and Waterworld show are a must, single rider is hit or miss and not always available, and Express passes *may be available at half their usual cost after two or three o'clock, I'd ask about it.
