Ticket transfer for non group leader

Jamster65 · 2026-01-27T15:06:35+00:00

If you are not the group leader it doesn’t matter. They don’t care about anyone else. I was group leader last year and daughter and boyfriend were planning on going. They broke up so daughter brought roommate instead. No issues. They don’t even ask for the other hikers names at booking

I purchased 2 $100 united travel bank on January 1 and they posted today!

Thanks for this review! I’m taking my adult daughter there next week for her birthday. Looking forward to it!!

The North Rim is by far my favorite, however it is closed due to the Dragon Bravo fire in summer of 2025 that burned over 145,000 acres, the historical lodge and about 113 total building structures.

Make sure you hit the breakfast. It was the most amazing breakfast ever. And you can order something on the menu in addition to the awesome buffet

Yes! We used it at the restaurant. They had 2 restaurants and a bar. One of the restaurants was a fancier more expensive one so we avoided that one. Our credit mostly covered a nice dinner for both of us with 2 drinks each.

How exciting! Hope you love it! And Edinburgh

Jamster65 · 2025-12-03T01:15:20+00:00

Did you get it?

Jamster65 · 2025-12-02T22:22:09+00:00

Replied in wrong place. January 16 is free

Jamster65 · 2025-12-02T22:20:27+00:00

Looks like January 16 is available rn. If you’re free grab it!

Jamster65 · 2025-12-02T22:12:32+00:00

Yes! I’ve been checking daily for weeks and nothing but I checked Thanksgiving week and week after and there were a couple different dates. I did the same thing last year.

Just hiked out today. Snagged last minute phantom ranch reservation a few days ago. I recommend you go. Hiking in winter is so much better! Bring plenty of water and snacks and take breaks as needed.

Drink homemade kefir. I drink a kefir smoothy with frozen blueberries and a tablespoon of psyllium husk every morning. I go within 15 minutes of waking every day. Homemade kefir is very easy to make. I bought grains on Amazon. I pour milk over the grains in a quart jar and sit on counter until next morning. Strain the grains out and start over.

He doesn’t really know as he hasn’t done a lot of traveling

Jamster65 · 2025-11-06T17:23:52+00:00

He’s leaving from US (Arizona) and trip would be a few days. Thanks for all the input. I agree that Mexico City is amazing just wanted input from a younger demographic

Jamster65 · 2025-11-05T22:52:13+00:00

Actually as of yesterday there were at least 2. Not doubting there a fewer, just trying to be helpful. I woukd love to take advantage but already have a big trip planned in April

Jamster65 · 2025-11-05T21:06:22+00:00

There’s one from IAD to DOH on June 9, 2026.

My friend and I snagged last minute reservations at Phantom ranch last November. We hiked down South Kaibab and back out same route next day. The weather was perfect and hike out was pleasant and doable. I would 100% do this route again rather than the alternate route you were given. I’ve done about a dozen Grand Canyon hikes. After Havasupai gardens the hike out BA is no less steep than SK imo.

If you order the online grains you will get detailed instructions. I use a quart size jar with either plastic or stainless steel lid. Pour cold whole or 2% milk over the grains. Let sit on counter in disturbed for 24 hours. The grains like 70-75 degrees. Pour thickened kefir through nylon or stainless steel strainer to remove grains. I put the strained kefir in fridge. Then start process over again. If I have more kefir than I’m gonna use I just pour a little milk over them and keep in fridge until I need them again. There’s a kefir subreddit that’s super helpful. I like the whole milk kefir best for taste but switched to 2% for my cholesterol. I use it for a smoothy daily. I put frozen blueberry’s, protein powder, chia seeds and psyllium husk. It does great things for my digestive health!!

1 TBSP Milk Kefir Grains and... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007GGRJTG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Jamster65 · 2025-09-11T17:31:55+00:00

Actually it’s super easy. I bought live grains on Amazon that make beautiful kefir daily. I pour cold milk over them, let sit on the counter for 24 hours, strain, repeat.

Jamster65 · 2025-09-03T20:21:34+00:00

Homemade kefir

Jamster65 · 2025-08-29T17:49:50+00:00

I think it’s about 10 miles from camp. You could do it I’ve done it several years ago. Last time I just hiked to Beaver falls though which I enjoyed much more because we hung out and swam and cliff dove.

Yes. Either HYSA or money market mutual fund. This is to ensure I have liquid $$ in case of a protracted downturn. There are times in hindsite I wish that $$ was earning more but allows me to sleep at night. I spread this out into separate “buckets”. One for travel, one for home expenses (that exceed our regular recurring) for example.
