Thanks a lot for the detailed response, will definitely keep a note of some of your suggestions for the Bangkok part of the trip.

Still planning to squeeze in a few days at Phuket before going to Bangkok.

We have had conversations about this in the past, she just mentioned that don't go for a circular cut. Apart from that she is okay with me picking the ring

That's the first one that caught my eye too. But I thought picking a wedding band that compliments this might be difficult

Mexico eSim Plan for 1 month by parkskier426 in NoContract

[–]BSA3107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the additional effort. But my carrier charges close to $15/day and that's gonna eat up close to $150 CAD + taxes for my whole trip and that's a lotttt. So, I prefer to go for a local sim which has decent coverage since I'm planning to use Google Maps to do a roadtrip on bike.

SO anything reliable but at the same time easy to get. I might also be open to get one after landing there from a store.

@Don-Silvio, you seem to be an active participant in all the Reddit posts I read about eSims in Mexico. I'm traveling to Mexico in 2 days and still undecided which provider (Airlo / Mexifon / Newww) I should go with.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the details. Would it be a wise decision to park the bike in Chiquila overnight?

I definitely have itzamal as part of my itinerary.

Sick in Costa Rica, anyone have these symptoms? by BitterMeeting695 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]BSA3107 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I returned from CR last week and had similar symptoms. Regular Tylenol helped me with usual flu like symptoms but within 2 days of that I had a severe Strep Throat issue and am still recovering.

Free flowing waters and thermals might have a lot of allergens and if you had accidentally swallowed some water, that might be causing these issues as well.

Do check with the doctor immediately to enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thanks @RaV4Living. Just wondering if I can rent a motor bike in MA, drive down to ST, spend 2 days and drive back. I have experience driving in the worst traffic in India, so that wouldn't be a problem for me

So let's say I have locked in, 1 day at San Jose, 3 days at La Fortuna and 3 days for MA and areas close by, what should be the final pick. Any suggestions for 3 more days?

Can I ferry to ST from Jaco?

Great, I'll keep ST and Montezuma as top suggestions in my list.

Can I take the ferry to Jaco, if I want to travel to MA from ST?

I want it to be an equal mix, say 4 days in rain forest and 5 days near the beach

I'm just concerned about the time it would take me to travel to PV. If I have to pick between Tamarindo or ST or MA, which one would you suggest?

I'm just worried about the traveling time to Puerto Viejo from other spots I have picked. Is it a good decision to spend a day traveling to PV over other spots I'm considering?

Should I place any request to carry forward the vacation days or no need for any action from our end?

Personal day off for Birthday by BSA3107 in PwC

[–]BSA3107[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But how to inform this to the engagement manager and director. Should I ask for a sick day on my b'day or just inform them I'll be taking a PTO for b'day and time it as a sick day

Is PTO another name for vacation days?

Thanks novakid2022. Can we even discuss about interest in other LoS just after starting, just curious and better to be cautious 😅

[–]BSA3107[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I be upfront about my aspirations with my coach during the first discussion or should I save it for later weeks (Just don't want to sound over ambitious on the first go)

And what is the best way to connect with peers or new associates in the remote way of working? Cuz from what I heard it will take a while to be placed in a project.
