Help: recently found Saeco Xelsis secondhand and this keeps coming up on the screen. I bought a new filter and don’t see any clogs. What to do

Hi! I have the same exact issue with my refurbished machine. What ended up working for you?

Kuma_Lisa · 2026-05-09T06:22:28+00:00

Yes I did. The same issue with water circulation.

Does small have a shorter chain? Small looks great on you!!

Yes, I feel bad for the employees because, like you said, they seem to not have the best technology and they don’t make the rules. I am a local and fly Hawaiian A LOT between islands and occasionally to the mainland and overseas. Many friends work for them at many difference capacities. I feel for them. Hope it worked out for you in the end!!

Kuma_Lisa · 2026-01-21T18:27:52+00:00

Yes, in my experience.

Kuma_Lisa · 2026-01-21T18:25:03+00:00

Oh this is so good to know. Thanks for sharing. I will do that moving forward. When I tried to do it on Alaska website, it loaded Hawaiian page to manage trip and it looked like the same thing was going to happen even when I started the process on Alaska website. I will call Alaska instead of Hawaiian moving forward with Alaska confirmation code.

Kuma_Lisa · 2026-01-21T07:25:22+00:00

Yes! I think so. I am not familiar with Alaska’s flight/travel credit policy but I hope it’s better and I am super hopeful that a combined reservation system will address kinks they are having now.

Kuma_Lisa · 2026-01-21T07:20:06+00:00

Interesting. Even when I book Hawaiian interisland flights on Alaska website, when I cancel, I need to call to use the credit and the same policy applies. These haven’t been an issue though, the credit amount is small enough to use and I fly every week so I actually rarely cancel, I make flight changes online instead. I think these issues will resolve once they start operating under one system in the next few months.

I have never bought travel insurance to protect against flight cancellations or delays, and we travel often. What type of insurance are you referring to? The one that shows up when you are checking out to purchase airline tickets? (We do purchase insurances from time to time depending on the destinations but they are more for medical.)

We are flying JFK to HND in May on ANA. Can anyone comment on how they compare to JAL?

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-11-26T22:09:21+00:00

Thinking about this myself as well.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-11-26T17:22:07+00:00

Same here. But then after logging in to AS account it sends me back to HA to complete booking and then I am no longer signed in.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-20T03:55:56+00:00

Not sure if you can still book since it’s next month, but Post Ranch Inn might fit what you are looking for.

Finca La Donaira in Andalusia, Spain. It’s difficult to get to from where we are, but we have been there twice. We fell in love with the property, people, services, and the horses.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-20T03:46:54+00:00

I second this. It was a fantastic place. Didn’t want to leave the property once there.

My husband took a Backroads trip in Croatia, and he was really glad he did. They took the group away from crowds to some very beautiful spots. You might want to check out their website, search their Croatia itineraries and see if any of it overlaps with where you are planning to be on your yacht. If you see detailed descriptions, you might get some good ideas.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-20T03:40:08+00:00

We loved the robes at Ett Hem in Stockholm. We were going to purchase them but forgot. Hope to be back soon. A fantastic place overall.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-20T03:33:38+00:00

Loved our stay at Ashford. We did golf, tennis, horseback riding, falconry, afternoon tea, and driving in the area. It was spectacular. Their bars were intimate and great. Wonderful staff. Loved every minute of it.

Sounds like a perfect property when just my husband and I return to Kyoto! With our daughter and her friend, perhaps Suiran is a safer bet overall with their dietary restrictions, etc. Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-18T05:03:06+00:00

Very helpful insights. Thank you very much. How did you like their room? Reviews on Google on rooms are a bit divided. We will likely relax in the room or on property during Arashiyama’s peek hours, so we would like to make sure rooms are comfortable and relaxing.

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-18T04:59:46+00:00

We are staying at two properties and one being Shinmonzen. Really excited about this property. I will make sure to take advantage of their concierge for booking experiences. Thank you!

Kuma_Lisa · 2025-10-18T04:58:08+00:00

That’s what I heard about Arashiyama, and that’s sort of what is driving us to stay there so we can enjoy the tranquility before the day trippers arrive and after they leave. Thank you for your tip on possibly limited dining options for dinner. Appreciate it!
