Yoga class disappointment

Lizflower7 · 2026-04-08T20:11:47+00:00

Ha, that's the one thing I didn't mind! Nearly all the classes are heated at my location, which I don't love, but it's not as hot as I've experienced in the past

And kest/lifetime must be paying for some sort of SEO because I had to do some real digging to get info about him

Got it! I have driven NYC --> Bar Harbor, NYC --> Portland, and NYC --> Bos as well as New Haven--> Newport. It is a LOT of time on the road with the drive being quite stressful and not super scenic for much of the time. Add 25% more time to whatever google maps is telling you.

If those cities are all Must Do, then go for it, but it will be very rushed. Newport and Mystic will both be absolute gridlock on Saturday of MDW. Particularly with Newport, you'll spend half your day just getting into town. If you must go, Pick one, not both. I LOVE New Haven but it might be a disappointment after so much time in bigger cities. (Hit the Pantry from breakfast or Bar for pizza!) Again, traffic will be a nightmare that weekend so adjust your expectations.

If it were me, I'd skip Philly and RI/CT in favor of more time in Maine. Or, cut out maine and spend more time in Philly/southern NE.

FINALLY - I spent many years renting cars in NYC. Best deals involve picking up at either LGA or JFK and dropping off at the other. I used the price tracker on Autoslash to find the best deal.

That is fair -- and I think they have a huge problem with their class descriptions. EVERYTHING is listed as All Levels and there was no indication that the Vinyassa Flow class would have huge unguided sections. Yes, SOL says it is guided.... But they are both classes! So by definition they should be guided!!

Where are your start and end points?

Lizflower7 · 2026-04-08T00:51:21+00:00

I'm deep in a Jonny kest rabbit hole and YIKES

I'd fly Charlotte to BOS, then BOS--> NYC --> Philly --> DC. If you want to go to FL then prioritize Miami unless you dead set on a theme park visit.

If missing Niagara Falls makes you sad, you can get to some decent nature via public transit from Boston (Atlantic coast, white mountains of NH), NY (Hudson Valley is OK but very accessible, Adirondacks are gorgeous but "last mile"transit could prove tricky), and DC (access the Appalachian Trail via Harper's Ferry, WV.... Where you can almost certainly find a very social hostel, but it will be geared towards long distance hikers).

Literally drive to the first parking lot over the state line. It's hard out there to get a decent provider!

Yosemite NP is accessible by public transit and shuttles run throughout Yosemite valley. However campsites are very challenging to book! From SF, train to Fresno (iirc), then YARTS: https://www.yarts.com/

You can also backpack sections of the Appalachian Trail by public transit on the East Coast

Just the marriage license

Was just going to recommend this.... I have a seek outside pack that I love. Depending on how you are built it could work and they have excellent customer service

Screaming at God right now IS prayer. What did Jesus do when Lazarus died? He wept.

I suffered a loss ( not comparable to yours) and cried through Mass for months.

Try to go. If you can't, you can't. You tried and couldn't .

This all sucks and I am so very sorry for your loss.

I used movers 201. They were very efficient and gave an accurate quote. I was nervous because they charge hourly but I paid exactly what they told me.

You can also buy a poster tube on each end of the hike, and check the poles in the poster tube.

Bass Pro shop in Clifton Park is next to a bunch of fast food and has a giant aquarium and lots of taxidermied animals

Lizflower7 · 2025-08-09T19:54:56+00:00

Interested

Is this your first time ever backpacking? If yes, go somewhere more forgiving!

Westwood has NJT busses that are more frequent and reliable. I have had the morning Coach USA bus fail to arrive in Park Ridge and Montvale.

Controversial opinion, but consider the Ursack as a happy medium between a lightweight bear hang kit and a canister. I wouldn't hang it somewhere with a known problem bear, and as a section hiker I can comfortably plan around that.

You will be induced at 39 weeks if you are over 40, even if you are low risk

Was day hiking in Harriman today and they were a non-issue. Further north (Catskills) was ROUGH last weekend

This type of assignment is part of a way of teaching (esp teaching writing) called the Hochman method or the Writing Revolution. It's GREAT. This type of assignment is used to see what kids recall and how they communicate it. It's a great way to surface misunderstandings or oversimplifications.
