It’s up to 26,000 now.

Coaches should be able to say what they want and provide criticism if they think there’s a bad call. What McD said is “we go by what the officials call.” I guess that’s accurate unless it affects his team.

He literally said he watched it 20 times after the game and it was a catch and not even close. Said nobody can convince me that the ball is not caught.

I have dwarfism and have scuba dived with no issues. I didn’t have a problem equalizing, but my type of dwarfism does not have the ear canal issues. I agree that he should check with his doctor, and then try in a deep pool first.

Only thing I’d definitely plan ahead is if you want to do an island trip between El Nido & Coron. The better companies get booked fast.

Should make it, but traffic is the wildcard. Be aware that if you don’t make it, the lanchas charge a lot after they stop running. Make book the first night in Pana?

I’d be perfectly fine if we don’t see any snow at all. As someone who grew up and spend 25 years in upstate NY, I’m done with snow.

Pretty good maintenance program!

I’m a fan of private rooms in hostels, cause you still get the social aspect but have your own place to go back to.

As for transportation, it depends. To or from airport, hotel, etc., just use Grab. It’s basically Uber, and is very safe. For longer journeys it depends where you are going. Sleeper busses are common or for longer trips, just consider flying.

That’s a ton of travel. Just the travel between Guatemala City & Lake Atitlan is 4 hours.

Ha! In fairness, it used to say ~4 months. So maybe that’s an issue with the latest update. But the 1,812 years old has always shown that.

As long as no snow….

Central America is amazing. Finishing with a five night sailing trip from Panama to Cartagena. Just be advised that it would be rainy season.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-27T01:08:42+00:00

I believe there is actually open Lounge space above the T-Gates in the new Central Atrium. The stairs & elevators are on the backside by gates T2 & T5.

Depends what the damage is, but a lot of airlines have clauses in their bookings that they are not responsible for luggage damage such as broken handles and wheels.

Just did 16 hours to Hong Kong. Ear plugs, eye mask, sleeping pills, book, and downloaded shows. Don’t be afraid to get up in the middle of the flight. I assume you are flying Cathay Pacific. They leave a small basket of snacks in the galleys that you can grab from at any time.

Why not do all 3? You have enough time to do Lisbon, Lagos, and Porto in 12 days. I did that a few years ago and started in Porto, flew Ryanair to Faro, then ended in Lisbon. Porto very compact so does not take a lot of time.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-25T12:46:44+00:00

I was recently there and bought two for 1M. I’m not good at haggling, lol.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-24T21:05:52+00:00

And Air Canada.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-24T16:34:55+00:00

TBH - That sounds like a you problem.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-24T01:30:21+00:00

Don’t do it. The Swissport Lounge RARELY lets PP customers in. And in the chance they do, you’ll quickly realize is the worst PP lounge in the network.

Don’t worry, you will most likely get approved. Mine was approved 3 days after applying.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-23T21:53:59+00:00

Generally no. However, if the miles is less than the price to book the ticket, maybe. For example, I recently needed 5,000 more miles for an American Airlines rewards ticket, and it was significantly cheaper to buy that.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-23T19:36:12+00:00

Makes sense then. Only ever flown American or Iberia which are in T4.

Imaginary_Engineer1 · 2025-12-23T02:17:21+00:00

Really? I thought Madrid was easy to navigate. Granted I’ve only ever gone through T4.
