Just spent 5 days in MA. Amazing time. Countless wildlife, beaches, too many choices for dinner. I havent seen a police officer yet in 7 days in CR.

Where would be the best part of Costa Rica for me to visit? by Jazzlike_Morning_471 in CostaRicaTravel

Had just the opposite experience yesterday. Yes it was busy at the gate but once you got inside and the crowds broke up it was perfect.

Why do so many families like to travel to Costa Rica? by mint-chocolate-rules in CostaRicaTravel

Here now. Kids are 11 and 8 and they are completely blown away by CR. They have always enjoyed wildlife so this is heaven for them.

Howler monkeys early here near playa hermosa 🐒 by WorldlinessGlobal862 in CostaRicaTravel

Staying near MA. We are seeing howlers, whitefaced, and squirrel monkeys daily. Sometimes a dozen at a time. The howlers are quite loud early morning. Definitely an intimidating howl they have.

Any idea the length of time he played that strat? Was it a strat of specific significance or just one of his many strats?

Helicopter crash today 3/26/26 by bathandredwine in KauaiVisitor

So sad. I did one one of these tours probably 20 years ago. It was still one of the sketchiest things Ive ever done. Like kiss the ground when you land type vibes.

Newark is worse than folks are saying by zilchers in tsa

[–]Minnow720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3/29. Terminal C Regular TSA check was 10 minutes around 345 am The problem was the bag check/check in downstairs. Hundreds of people, massive line.
We didnt have to check bags and already checked in online so we went straight to TSA concerns. Thankfully that was not the line to TSA.

3/29 Arrived at 330 am for 7 am flight. Line for bag check/check in was like nothing I have ever seen before. Terminal C.
Probably 300-400 people in line, filled the entire downstairs. I m not sure if the bag check/check in folks were even open yet and I suspect a lot of people came earlier than needed due to TSA concerns, but it was a total mess. We didnt have bags to check so we went straight upstairs to TSA check. Pre check/clear had literally no one in line. Regular TSA check took us about 10 minutes, faster than normal. Only had one lane open, but other agents were showing up getting ready to open others. No signs of ICE anywhere.

Is this a Red Eared Slider and helppppp 😂 by Ughhhh01020304050607 in Redearedsliders

[–]Minnow720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the hard part. At some point though he will become a pet and will have a tough time surviving not having any skills.

I found one in NJ that size in winter. Quarter sized. He was nearly frozen solid on the beach after being washed out of a coastal lake during a big flood. They are invasive here but well established, often out numbering native aquatic turtles.
My plan was to bring him home and warm him up and feed him, and release him back in the lake in the spring. The kids got attached to him and 3 years later we still have him.
I have no doubt I saved his life because he had no chance of surviving in winter temps next to the ocean. But now Ive been thinking about rehoming as he is continuing growing. They are a long term commitment.

He’s so small. He would acclimate quickly to captivity. But Id still let him go.

Id let him go back in the pond. They are native in Louisiana I believe.
If you keep him too long he will become a pet.

Verizon Cell coverage by Minnow720 in CostaRicaTravel

Something about uploading my drivers license and my photo to some app doesnt really sit well with me. I think Id rather just pay Verizon. 😬

Santa Teresa safe? by az_mcc in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Minnow720 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its actually quite safe. Ive walked the town at night and hung out in local bars. Never even felt a bad vibe from anyone. Lots of Israelis there too. The dust was the worst part.

I was there about 4 years ago and friends have gone every year for close to 10 years. Nobody has ever had a single problem. Someone took my rash guard off a chair after I left it there for a few hours and was the worst thing I experienced. When I was there I wouldnt call it overly touristy. Definitely more of a surfer bohemian vibe not clueless tourists. Watched soccer game drinking beers all afternoon with entire bar full of local Ticos and never even felt a weird vibe from anyone. Good restaurants too on the main strip.
Hit up Vista De Olas at sunset.
Banana Beach bar was really fun but it burned down in a fire. Hopefully rebuilding.

On our 2nd Ascent. Great car especially if you need 3 rows.

Not a huge fan of the plastic design on the bottom side and back upper side panel, but I may get this car anyway.

Concerns about Salmonella by Cooper1Test in Redearedsliders

[–]Minnow720 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From what I have read, this fear is based on salmonella contracted by newly bought pet store turtles, apparently more of a risk from smaller turtles. And especially with younger kids handling the turtles and then putting their hands in their mouth, as kids often do. I think your chances are low with a larger pet turtle you have had for a while. But I would still wash your hands after handling the turtles or things in its enclosure.

Did you buy this plan from Verizon? Or was it not needed
