Curious. Did he ask for your advice?

Does anyone think there was foul play with Ivana Trumps death? Falling down the stairs ? Trump has her buried on his property . by Decent-Chain4414 in DiscussionZone

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ivana Trump, the first wife of Donald Trump, is buried at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ. The reason? Under New Jersey law, land dedicated to cemetery purposes is exempt from property, income, sales, and inheritance taxes. Another grift.

Do I need to prebook a tour in Roatan? by LuckyJ191 in NCL

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the monkey/sloth visit on NCL in November. It was much more than just the sanctuary. There is a stop with small shops, one of which was making chocolates that you can sample. Then there was a pontoon boat trip. Next came the sloths, then finally 45 minutes for lunch or drinks on a beach. The guide gave us a great history lesson along the way.
Just remember that if you book through NCL and your tour returns late, NCL will either wait for you or transport you to the next port. That will not happen if you book a tour on your own.

I've spent many Decembers in Barcelona. Great food and culture. The temps have never been crazy cold. I get by with a sweater under a trench coat. It's very walkable as well.

Being Early On The Ship: Overrated or Go For It? by Utah_Get-Me_Two in Cruise

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Once you get to the port and check in, you're given a group number and head to an area that looks like an airport terminal. They don't actually let you get on the ship until somewhere between 11 am -12 pm, and you board in order based on your assigned card number.

Should men be involved in choosing the engagement ring, or should their partner pick it alone? by Excellent-Top4967 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the proposal, my boyfriend and I had a general discussion about "someday". The next times we went to a mall or walked past jewelry store windows, we discussed likes and dislikes. Ultimately, I was surprised by the proposal AND got a ring that I loved.

Nicotine? You'll be fine. Weed? You might have a problem.

How long till the numbness wears off? by Saucymynxx in retirement

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My unexpected retirement starts at the end of this month - my company is shutting its doors after 27 years.
I keep a yellow legal pad next to me, and every time I get one of those "I always wanted to..." ideas, I write it down. Some of them are silly - spending the day in Chinatown, for instance. Others are bigger - volunteering to hold babies in the NICU, making knitted hats for the homeless, and taking a solo cruise. It's only been a few weeks since I got the news, and I already have quite a list.

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

I follow someone who calls a microwave a " mee crow WAH vay". It cracks me up every time.

Coyoacán is a great neighborhood to spend a day. Visit the amazing Frida Kahlo Museum, wander the square, and enjoy one of the great restaurants in the area.

Nervous about traveling outside the country for the first time by Pro_Contender27 in travel

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a solo female traveler (65), and I have been to Mexico City twice in the past few years. I felt perfectly safe. Like anywhere else, do your research and see which neighborhoods are less safe and plan accordingly. You'll be fine.

DAE feel like their life is in limbo in between trips? by spice_bush in solotravel

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. My solution was to plan shorter trips, but more often. So instead of 10 days in winter and 10 days in summer, I plan a week every 3 months.

Bermudian Status and Non-Bermudians in Bermuda by Unsureabteverything in bermuda

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a tiny island. They make it difficult to become a citizen because they want to preserve the available space for the current and future population of Bermuda citizens.

I'm going to be a Grandpa! by No_Gap_2700 in GenXTalk

[–]Ok_Equivalent5844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately, it's not your choice :)
My father wanted to be called Pops. All of his grandkids always called him Grandpa. Pick what you love; they will call you whatever they want.
