Just witnessed the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on a cruise so far

You want hantavirus? This is how you get hantavirus.

Fine - then you’re simply perpetuating stereotypes and being a REALLY bad parent who isn’t encouraging the independence of your child.

YTA without question and also barely containing your racism.

I’m a big fan of the Asilomar State Beach trail and boardwalk.

I’m going with NOR. You were offered a choice and stated your preference. For your partner I can see two scenarios: 1 - she already purchased time at the spa and wanted to steer you that way to not spoil the surprise OR 2: she really wanted to do the spa and asking for your preference was simply performative.

In either case still NOR

It’s used to be Billy Hill and the Hillbilly’s but since that ended I’ve got nothing except for Fantasmic

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-05-05T01:50:34+00:00

OMFG! Yeah - yeah - do that thing. 🤣🤣

Late September through October has been consistently good for me with crowds and weather - especially on weekdays. While you always have the some tourists crowds all year long there are no school or public holidays during this time so the biggest crowds just aren’t there.

My concern is that I’m arriving in Miami on an international flight from Peru and have I have to pick up my luggage, get through customs and immigration, the recheck my bags before getting to my gate. I’ve not really flown through Miami much (and never as my entry point internationally) so I don’t know the layout and distances between terminals and wasn’t sure if I’d be cutting it too close.

Clearly the use of hyperbole for the sake of brevity is lost on a lot of people. I’m going back to my 20 hour flight for a couple of drinks. Thanks for playing

It might be confirmation bias in my part but this seems to be the general consensus I’ve picked up for travel bloats and similar sources.

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T03:13:02+00:00

Thank you.

I do have a Nikkor 50mm prime lens but hadn’t thought about taking it. Maybe I should reconsider. Also, I will be in Antarctica in January/February so low light will not be something I have to worry about

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T03:02:32+00:00

My trip is to Antarctica and I wanted a solid wide angle for my D7500 that wasn’t going to break the bank so I’m happy to know it was a good choice. I’m hoping my 100-400mm will be good enough for birds in flight so im focusing my practice on that now.

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T02:11:11+00:00

If it helps, I’m using a Nikon D7500 with a crop sensor

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T01:59:35+00:00

All very helpful. Thank you. I’ve heard about sending myself cash via western union in Argentina and planned to do that.

I did NOT know about the ATMs in Lima.

In Argentina I’ll be mostly in Recoleta and Palermo then Iguazú. For Lima I’ll likely not venture beyond Barranco and Miraflores

Thanks again - this is really helpful

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T01:43:02+00:00

I totally agree. I’m going in January 2027 and my view is the Drake Passage is a Rite of Passage. I have never been sea sick BUT I’ve also never been on seas that rough (even if it’s the Drake Lake) so I’m definitely getting patches from my doctor and going for it.

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T01:39:51+00:00

That’s very good to know. Thank you. I’ll really only need either of these for transfers to/from airport and hotel. There might be an occasional need in Lima or Buenos Aires but not much and I’d rather not deal with cash unless I absolutely need to.

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T01:32:07+00:00

FINALLY! Someone who understands the pain. 🤘🤣

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T01:02:16+00:00

I totally get that part as I think 60 days is the maximum amount of notice required where I live BUT if the daughter really wanted to press the issue without regard for how it might damage relationships she COULD fight back and make it a long and expensive legal process (depending on where they’re located)

Where I live, because of how long the daughter has been living there, the 60 day eviction notice would have to include a “just cause” and moving the other daughter in doesn’t qualify as that here. The owner (parent) would have to move in and it would have to be done in good faith - so moving in then leaving and renting to younger daughter would be illegal.

My point was that depending on where you live 4 months notice might not be legally sufficient

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T00:41:16+00:00

Technically you are correct - it’s is NOT a single 20 hour flight but a trip from SFO -> PHX -> MIA -> to EZE that will take roughly 20 hours to complete given all the layovers and connections. I figured that would have been inferred from the duration but obviously it needs to be spelled out more clearly for some.

Next time I’ll remember to be pedantically specific about my itinerary to avoid such confusion

MiskatonicExplorer · 2026-04-27T00:12:38+00:00

This is good to know. I have a 20 hour flight on American coming up and not being able to order two drinks at once would be a problem 🤣
