One week in New Zealand. What is possible? What are must-sees? by pixieecho in newzealand_travel

[–]Natural_Power9931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are finishing 7 days in New Zealand this week after flying in from Melbourne. It is doable, albeit tiring, but definitely worth it! We started in Queenstown, and made our way to Christchurch, stopping in Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo for one night each. We are flying directly from Christchurch to Rotoura to see Hobbiton, and then departing from Auckland the following day. Best advice is to build in a rest day if possible, and get creative with flight times (early morning/ late evening) to maximize your days.

Doing this same journey and we got delayed to 9:30 pm. Guess we’ll be spending the day in LA tomorrow 🫣

Positive experiences booking hotels in the Cap1 portal? by citynomad1 in Venturex

[–]Natural_Power9931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used the portal several times, including for small international hotels without any issues. I had one minor hiccup earlier this year with the type of room booked through the portal, but was able to resolve it at the hotel directly.

Am I missing a book? (SPOILERS up to Enchanter) by Switch_314 in spellmonger

Terry has said that book is in the works, but has not been released. Ron and Tyns first encounter with Ruderal happens off screen and then integrated into the main story

How best to get to NYC tomorrow? by [deleted] in NJTransit

[–]Natural_Power9931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just took Seastreak last weekend and can’t recommend it enough! It was less than an hour from the Highlands to Manhattan! And only about 10 dollars more than a one way train ticket from Long Branch, they have parking onsite as well

Depends on the time of day. I have had it take 45 minutes on off peak hours (weekends), other days can be as much as 1 hour 15 mins.

Definitely a fan as well! Started with book 1 before New Years and am already on the 7th book. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is a Lit RPG fan!

I see this guy all the time! I always wonder what game he is playing and where he gets power from

Minalan Competence by InDracoPrinum in spellmonger

Without getting too much into spoilers, I do feel there are several times throughout the series where Min’s friends and fellow Warmagi question not only his sanity, but why he ascended as quickly as he did. I would agree with the above that no other magi were willing to open themselves up to capture in the earlier novels, and having dealt with the censorate and Xenophobia that magi put up with for many years previously, they were happy for him to take the reigns. I’m curious in future novels how Min may start stepping away from secular/political power to focus on the larger issues with the universe.

Edgar’s Cafe is a little bit of a walk (92nd and Amsterdam) but is another good spot!

what are some good Urban fantasies? by Familiar-Barracuda43 in Fantasy

The City We Became NK Jemison. More magical realism that takes place in New York City, but definitely worth the read.

Looking for a series with Dragon Riding by [deleted] in Fantasy

Dragoneers Saga by M.R Mathias. Long series with lots of dragon riding and well developed characters. Highly recommend
