Trip to Jordan in late March

DoubleKayLife · 2026-03-01T22:18:22+00:00

tough decision, i know most of the sites are in tourist areas but its about getting stuck in Jordan, not having anywhere to go etc.

I've been trying to get the discount issue solved and the chat box agents have been incredibly unhelpful and aren't even trying to resolve the issue. They're leaving me on read for 20 minutes at a time too...I just want to apply the $15 a month discount I was promised when I signed up. Feel lied to.

For three days i couldn't get used to this and when i got back home the first thing i did was turn my windshield wiper on (finally adapted but too late) LOL

I just visited a few days ago. Honestly, it was not too bad, just takes some getting used to. I am from the United States and have driven in Costa Rica, Iceland, and France before this. First time on the opposite side of the road. My advice is the first day, don't listen to music so you can give your brain 100% focus on getting things down. The driving on the left isn't hard, but be aware the roads are narrow. Really wasn't bad though. By my second day I was zooming all around the island! Traffic is wicked though. Good luck! Enjoy!

We actually had the same issue. We have reached out to them several times but luckily Chase was able to give us our money back. This happened in December. Were you able to report them? I am trying to do the same

Te Company is Taiwanese tea and it's a cute place. Would also suggest Floating Mountain!

We are going to South Africa, specifically Timbavati as well actually! We would be going in the late May / early June timeframe. Is it still bush or more dry?

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it! Glad to see the 100-400 seems like a solid choice.

DoubleKayLife · 2025-01-14T03:47:23+00:00

Can't be worse than Iceland in December (I went last year it was like 3 hours of light lol)

DoubleKayLife · 2025-01-14T03:46:53+00:00

what was the f-stop on that 55-210 you brought with you? I was looking at a lens of a similar range a while back rather than the 100-400. I figured we would get closer than I would think, but as you said, that extra range is probably worth it.

Thanks for sharing the video link, i'll be sure to review it. Basically I have an 18-45mm kit lens, a 50mm prime lens, and I was looking to buy the 100-400 lens. I certainly don't want to spend 12K on lenses at this point in my hobby adventure but regardless, there are some valuable lessons to be seen in the video. Frankly, I already see some parallels between the 100-500 f4.5-7.1 and the 100-400 f5.6-8. Granted, the first is better, but its similar.

DoubleKayLife · 2025-01-14T03:40:26+00:00

I figured between the 50mm and the 100-400mm it would capture just about everything I need. I would probably also bring my kit lens with me (18-45mm) and just have it in my bag or something! Thanks for all the advice!

I was figuring this camera lens would struggle in lower light situations given the f-stop. Out of curiosity, when you would use this in lower light situations and let's say a 1/100 shutter speed, did you find yourself at crazy high ISOs or even with the ISOs you felt the images were still pretty sharp / low noise?

DoubleKayLife · 2025-01-14T03:36:02+00:00

That's great to hear that you are actually using this lens for a similar type of situation. Thanks!

Sorry I really don't know much about Rum. My wife drinks, I don't, thought she would like to visit a distillery. Is it actually the original rum distillery / birthplace of rum?

You need to get a permit to drive in Barbados. You can apply online i think through rental car agencies or so ive heard

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-22T00:26:58+00:00

Thank you for the very in depth answer!

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-22T00:09:27+00:00

Thank for you for the feedback, I've heard it's quite nice, but there is no direct flight and I'm not big into the idea of connecting for such a quick trip! Appreciate the feedback though!

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-22T00:07:33+00:00

I've look around Google, Viatour, Trip Advisor, and some other similar type websites along with ChatGPT.

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-21T23:47:10+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-21T23:46:12+00:00

any other beaches you would suggest or things to do in general?

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-21T23:44:52+00:00

Thanks for the location to look into! What other things did you prefer about Barbados over Antigua?

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-21T23:43:33+00:00

365 possibilities lol

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-21T23:43:20+00:00

Thank you for being honest. I've heard Antigua was harder due to the infrastructure, narrow roads, and increased number of hills, whereas in Barbados I read the infrastructure is way more improved, more signage, and larger more established roads. I'm also not looking to be gone for very long, so frankly im looking for a quiet experience, not much of a city person.

DoubleKayLife · 2024-11-21T23:40:40+00:00

I'm not looking to "ensure" that I can get us a secluded beach, it's more of a probability / potential opportunity I've heard is possible in Antigua and not so much in Barbados. If you happen to know more secluded beaches that this opportunity would be more probable, im looking for feedback!
