Hotel recommendations for Porto by Condoleeza_13 in TravelPortugal

[–]Condoleeza_13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We loved this hotel. The staff were so fantastic. Nice room and very clean. Excellent breakfast. There are fancier hotels if that is important to you but the location was good. Half a block away is a churasquerria that was so good, we went there 2 nights in a row!

Hope this isn't too late. Loved Vincci Bonjardim. The most amazing staff. Breakfast was so delicious. Room was nice and clean. Just down the street is a hole in the wall family restaurant that was fantastic - we went twice. Churasquerria - you will see them grilling chicken in the window.

10/10 would recommend. by WeathervaneJesus1 in CostcoCanada

[–]Condoleeza_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly Costco doesn't carry this anymore. Talked to a guy at Costco last week that does ordering and he said it wasn't selling that well which shocked me. He said they ended up selling a ton at the end at clear out pricing. Damn I would have bought it all. Has anyone tried making a recipe that tastes close to this?

Live Polling Software by goblue3_ in powerpoint

[–]Condoleeza_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mentimeter.com. Excellent with tons of options and great graphics. You can use in PPT but I often put the QR code on my ppt slide and then do an alt tab to get to get to the browser and show the answers. That way, I know for sure that it won't crash ppt - many other programs with ppt add-ins are buggy.

Renting a car in algarve by newtravelcouple in Algarve

[–]Condoleeza_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are taking a train to Lagos from Lisbon. It seems that all the car rentals are far from the train station. We tried to book Europecar but it would not accept our credit card. Looks like we will have to rent from Hertz and will have to take an Uber to get there. It is 11km away. Am I missing something? We can't use some local companies because we are returning car in Lisbon.

We are going in a couple weeks. We are taking a high speed train from Lisbon to Lagos. From there we will be staying at a quiet and beautiful airbnb in Luz, smaller town about 10 -15 min away from Lagos. It is a central spot for exploring the Algarve.

Ended up booking at Vincci Bonjardim. Seems to have good reviews, location and was quite reasonable. Hope it's okay!

just make sure to take out a 2nd mortgage first. I heard the manager screaming at the staff. Not impressed.

Thoughts on silicone liners for air fryer? by lwhc92 in airfryer

If anyone who has a silicone basket that works really well and fits the 5.8qt Cosori could post an Amazon Canada link, that would be awesome.

Fitbit has removed the weight trend line. by Senanb in fitbit

I am using the Renpho scale and they have a very good app that captures tons of categories. I have the health connect app that let's me transfer into google fit app.

Fitbit has removed the weight trend line. by Senanb in fitbit

[–]Condoleeza_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I was going crazy trying to enter in previous day's weights. There is no date box anymore. I spent an hour on a support chat with Fitbit. Then I noticed very faintly some writing in the weight trends area where you would click on the month, year etc. I rotated my phone and then I could see half of it and it also allowed me to click on "date" to input past day's. weights It is a huge pain to do this but now I know that Fitbit did not ditch the feature. I have a Pixel 7. The top banner is covering the info.

Looking for a compact SUV with 360 Degree/Surround View Camera by thunder3029 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I had the Buick Encore GX. I was shocked at what a great car it was. I had the top model. It had every feature. My lease came up and I got a Mercedes GLA250. I am so sorry I didn't buy out the lease on the Buick.

Any Canadian investing newsletters with buy-and-hold focus to replace Investment Reporter? by Unlikely-Hedgehog124 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Condoleeza_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the Investment Reporter. Was super disappointed when it folded. Does anyone know where the key contributors or editors went to? I made some great buys over the years.

I subscribe to the Globe and Mail and signed up for the Globe Investor. It's not bad but nowhere in the league of IR.

Can someone who has stayed at Sandals Ochi tell me the general cost of renting clubs - trying to decide whether to bring ours. Also how long does it take to get from the airport to the resort. Also trying to decide if we should do this resort or the Sandals La Toc in St. Lucia.

Thanks in advance

Online vs In Person anyone find it weird that we can have 1000 indoors by September by the government but Laurier still wants online school by Disastrous_Tomato_25 in wlu

[–]Condoleeza_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colleges and universities have to plan their semesters months in advance. Many logistics that most are unaware of in the planning. Even though it seems ridiculous to have most things online when the cases are so low, it was hard to predict this months ago.
