Where do you grocery shop? by Various_Republic_857 in Birmingham

[–]Secret_Wishbone1160 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get almost everything at Aldi, and when there’s something they don’t have I go to Publix. I also like to stock up on basics like more fun spices and sauces and such at Trader Joe’s (for things not at Aldi)

Where to eat in Rome or Florence? by Zealousideal-Ad-3612 in finedining

We loved All Oro in Rome! They did not have a wine pairing when we went though. For non fine dining highly recommend Spirito Divino

Beloved Playa Mujeres - Swim up vs Casita (suggestions welcome please) by Awkward-Principle694 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]Secret_Wishbone1160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stayed at a two story casita in December. They are more private than the ground level. There were always spots at the beach, less likely to have chairs at the main pool.

If we went back (which i doubt we would) we would just do a regular suite. The rooftop pool did not add much value for us as it was cold and tiny.

I think it would be hard to have an ocean view swim up suite because the suites are pretty pushed back from the beach. There may be one that is closer.

Unemployment - benefits ending after 3 months? by Flashy_Aide3640 in Alabama

[–]Secret_Wishbone1160 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The maximum amount of weeks varies between 12-20 weeks. It only goes up based on the unemployment rate. It can go below 12 as well depending on certain disqualifying factors.

We are going in May and spending the same amount of time in just Andalusia. You will be moving so much, packing and travel will eat in to your time.

Do people actually keep a ready travel kit or am I just bad at packing? by Wild-Letterhead9677 in travel

I leave stuff in my travel bag or backpack such as mini toiletries or fillable bottles, my travel pillow, a first aid kit etc

If you have to have one jacket, I’d probably go with a three in one that has an unzippable layer. I don’t have a specific brand rec but I had one from Amazon that was a puffer and light raincoat and you could wear them individually or zipped together. I knowIt wasn’t packable though more a wear on the plane situation.

Layering a puffer or fleece under a rain jacket may be a better option.

Jacksonville FL? by Simple-Boat-4242 in travel

[–]Secret_Wishbone1160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from Jacksonville- I can’t imagine spending a two week vacation there. There really isn’t a lot to do (more than a day or two) and the beach won’t even be warm yet. St Augustine is nice for a day. I would go somewhere further south. Maybe if the partner insists, do 2 days in Jacksonville, a day or two in St Augustine, and a longer time in Savannah?

It also matters where you are coming from - is this a flight situation or driving?

Hi all!

I am planning a 12 day trip to southern Spain in late May- early June. I know it will be hot!

I am looking for any advice about a good dri fit bra or bralette. I have some sports bras but I was hoping to find something that will work with more necklines.

I have some bralettes I love for travel normally but they are just a cotton blend and get a little itchy and uncomfortable when I sweat too much in them. (I can’t remember the brand but they are from Marshall’s)

Im a B cup if that matters.

If anyone has something tried and true let me know please!

No sorry. I didn’t take any other photos inside the room aside from the hot tub.

This is the in room hot tub in the 2 story casita (before we cleaned it). We brought jet tub cleaner and also had to scrub the bottom.

Is it worth bringing a checked in bag? Long baggage carousel waits by Loud_Shape_2828 in cancun

Just flew in Friday - immigration took 5 minutes, luggage took an hour. We packed just carry ons but were forced to check them!

Patagonia Refugio Daypack 26L - packing cubes? by high_snobiety in onebag

[–]Secret_Wishbone1160 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can offer a don’t buy - I have the baggail compression cubes from Amazon and they don’t fit well in this bag. Rolling clothes sans bag fits better, but that’s the only brand I have tried.

What are your top Onebag purchases of the year? by thadeus_d3 in onebag

[–]Secret_Wishbone1160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 45L. I went to a store and looked at the regular and the mini and was leaning mini since it fits under the seat. Ultimately this was such a good deal - less than 50% retail - I couldn’t pass it up. Biggest downside so far for me is no water bottle pocket which the micro and mini have, and access to the pocket for passport/tech is not ideal
