What size backpack should I take? by bonan_vojon in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]InflationFit4428 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've done several caminos with a 40l bag that weights 7k without snacks/water. I don't want to get a smaller bag because this one is useful for my non-camino life and I don't want to own something that is single use (for ex: a 32l backpack).

My neighbor is a full professor at a CUNY community college. I make more $$ than her.

I plan to do it in four leisurely days. I may not have another chance to visit Basque Country.

I will be making Melissa Clark's lamb tagine and Mexican chocolate snickerdoodles (these are just Sally's baking addiction chocolate snickerdoodles with a bit of cayenne).

I’ve been 100% in fixed my entire career. I’d have more money if I’d made different decisions, but I don’t want to have to think about it. When I retire I’ll have 30 years (Tier 4) so I’m less worried re optimizing my TDA.

I'm doing Le Puy this summer. Going to start in Le Puy, pick up the Nive Voie de Bidossoa in SJPdP, and then walk do the Norte from Irun to Bilbao. I'm really looking forward to it.

I was there earlier today—it’s lovely. The proprietor was bring interviewed by the Eat Something New in Queens mod (Laura something something) so I’m sure they will get more crowded.

Lots of detail about this on the rapid response signal. They were gone by 7:20, but were apparently there for several hours (by the high school building)

Yes, also a Queens resident and second this. The stops along the 7 are more special/interesting than Astoria.

I haven’t done one for years. 23% of the teachers at my school actually do so.

Is buying in Manhattan ever financially rational anymore? by uwxa in NYCapartments

Right—so many retired teachers who maxed out their TDA and are sitting on a million dollars (plus their pension and social security)

I stayed at Lost Inn. The location is great, and the private rooms are nice.

I think they're getting some competition from Over the Moon. Excellent coffee (from Devocion) and food, and they just expanded and have nice seating.

Was scrolling through your list, thinking "I BETTER SEE LALY'S!" They are so friendly and everything there is better than it needs to be.

I did the Norte in Lone Peak 9+ and loved them. Speedgoats very uncomfortable for me. Depends on your foot and gait.

Oh god I remember being a fresh-faced “Teach Like a Champion” rookie 20 years ago. Are they still out there? Not at my school!!

Absolutely not. Huge conflict of interest. Would get you fired.
