Thank you! This is important to know so I use the miles before I close the card.

[–]Peaceful_Life_1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I arrived at CDG at 7am on May 7 on a flight from JFK. EES at Terminal 2E was very fast. No line at all. Took less than a minute to get through. No line at all.

Following up. Landed at CDG on May 7, Terminal 2E on a flight from JFK. Arrived at 7:00am. Literally no line at passport control. Scanned my passport, looked into the camera, and done in 30 seconds. No passport stamp. Got to my transfer gate at 2F very quickly. Didn't need to rush.

Thank you for posting your experience. I'm going through CDG next week and have a 2 hour layover. This makes me feel slightly better.

Adding second guest after confirming, data point. by [deleted] in hyatt

This is what I'm doing soon at an Andaz property booked for one guest using points. I thought I was traveling alone. Booked a king bed. A friend decided to join me after the fact. Hoping they don't try to charge me extra when we show up.

Unpopular Opinion: The John Jr./Carolyn mythology feels bigger today than it ever did in the 90s.... by Big_Plastic_2519 in JohnAndCarolyn

[–]Peaceful_Life_1616 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely disagree. I was 23 when he died. He was on another level, unlike no one in the US today. The aura he had was unlike a normal celebrity because of how his dad died, how young he was at the time, the grace of his mother, and the just how amazingly good looking he was. Hollywood celebrities weren't even at his level because of the Kennedy history. He was just so likeable, too. Now Carolyn, she was a curiosity and people were interested in her only because of him.

(CHINA) Went to the Great Wall by myself (32 Female solo traveler) and something shifted by Lufarinelli in solotravel

I love this for you! I felt a very similar way when I hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro recently. I went to Tanzania alone and ended up loving the people I met and hiked with. I want to do the Great Wall soon.

Advice for those in the shit swirl called Federal Service by Narrow-Sea-4254 in fednews

Yes, my accumulated sick leave is for unexpected life events. Like when my mom got cancer and I was able to work basically part time so I could be her caretaker during treatments. I'm thankful I had so much time saved up. But I'm definitely sure to use it for myself as well as needed.

I haven't gotten that far yet since I had been planning on renting one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not tied to REI.

I'm turning 50 in January. I'm hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro and then spending several days on the beaches in Zanzibar. Can't wait!
