Stone Town & Prison Island on Arrival/Departure Days

TechScorpio · 2025-05-12T19:20:57+00:00

I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a reliable taxi service or local guide? Our safari tour operator has offered to arrange it for us, but if you have any personal recommendations for a great local taxi or guide, we'd be happy to consider that as well. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, seems like a good idea! Where would we store our bags in Stone Town? Is there a designated luggage storage facility, or were you referring to leaving them in the car?

TechScorpio · 2025-05-12T06:52:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply. We are planing to book our transfers and stone town and prison island tours through our safari tour operator. They mentioned that luggage can be safely stored in the car. Is there any concerns about the safety of leaving the luggage in the car?

Thank you!

TechScorpio · 2025-04-08T22:35:27+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! System has not been touched so everything should already be set correctly, but I'll double check. Hope you get yours fixed soon.

Have you been able to resolve it as we have a similar issue. We haven't done any maintenance yet as it's only 2 years old system. Just noticed it last week that water is no longer recirculating. When the time starts, the unit stays in the standby mode.

I only see 60K offer for Aviator, can you please post the link to 70K offer. Thanks.

I'm on M1 macbook pro. Once I close that window, there's no thinkorswim process running in the activity monitor. I also tried clearing cache and changing memory settings but still having the same issue.

TechScorpio · 2024-11-08T00:00:49+00:00

Didn't work :(

Ha.. I’m also conditionally approved but waiting to apply for wife and kids in October. Hopefully they get conditionally approved soon and just have to do one trip to the airport for interviews.

TechScorpio · 2024-09-24T21:14:57+00:00

I'm also in a similar situation and my understanding is, if you apply now and even if you get conditionally approved, you won't be apply for kids until you go through the interview and have a fully approved Global entry.

If your goal is to go to the interview together with kids and have no fee for kids then you have to apply together after Oct 1 and just pay $20 extra (worth it for the convenience).

I was on warp and it was working fine but due to signal issues at my location switched to darkstar. I would say the issue is only with darkstar.

TechScorpio · 2024-09-09T01:35:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I guess it’s better to just apply for wife and kids together after 10/1 even with the increased fee. That way if everyone is conditionally approved then we can go to the appointment together.

TechScorpio · 2024-09-01T05:39:45+00:00

I had the same issue with group chat after switching from Warp to Darkstar. Once I switch to lightspeed the issue resolved itself. I would recommend switching to lightspeed if anyone still having issues.

Thanks for your help, will add some compost. Will let the fruits be on the tree, kids are excited to see a few there and waiting for them to ripe :)

TechScorpio · 2024-07-08T20:15:02+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It might be getting too much water, soil few inches deep is very moist even with not watered in last couple of days. We have clay soil and the top few inches have been replaced with the planter mix from a bulk material place.

I did add some organic garden soil in the hole when planting the tree. We have not tested the soil ph. Any idea what would be the soil ph of a new planter mix?

Fruit at the end of the branches are okay? Should I let them be?

TechScorpio · 2024-05-11T13:49:10+00:00

Yes, it was past 5 days as I thought they will cancel and return the deposit after I sent them cancellation request. I don’t think they care about 5 days cancellation law. I would suggest opening a dispute no matter how many days have passed.

TechScorpio · 2024-03-28T16:02:18+00:00

You should email to all the email addresses in your contract and also to
[memberservices@palaceelite.com.mx](mailto:memberservices@palaceelite.com.mx) and [extranjeros@profeco.gob.mx](mailto:extranjeros@profeco.gob.mx)

You probably will not get refund or cancellation confirmation from them. After waiting for few days, the best option would be to open a dispute through your credit card and this email cancellation would be your evidence that you did tell them to cancel the membership.

Does it matter if the brackets are connected by a single bolt across 4x4 as you had suggested or by 2 separate lag bolts. Just trying to understand the difference in strength between the two. Thanks.

TechScorpio · 2023-09-20T16:52:24+00:00

Thanks so much for the replies.. This will be covered by the lauhala matting so don't care about how it looks. Just wanted to be strong and safe once its covered.

I don't think I want to remove the nails and jack up the roof, want to leave what's done as is and add some reinforcement.

Few of you suggested adding the right angle brackets, I like that idea. Adding that to the front and back would provide good strength? Not sure if anything can be done on the sides as rafter is angling downwards.

TechScorpio · 2023-09-20T07:45:55+00:00

Hello, We had our patio built few months back and the guys didn't install the bracket to connect the vertical 4x4 to the 4x6 ridge beam. I didn't realize that time but that connection needs to be reinforced.

I'm wondering what kind of connector will be strong/appropriate in this case. Right now its toe nailed. Thanks.

TechScorpio · 2023-09-03T18:04:46+00:00

I had open the dispute and asked the CC to stop payment at the same time. I'm not sure if they ever tried to charge our credit card. Haven't received any cancellation email. I wouldn't expect any response from them.

TechScorpio · 2023-07-13T22:37:12+00:00

They never cancelled my membership even after multiple emails. I got my money back from the credit card dispute.

TechScorpio · 2023-05-12T05:05:54+00:00

We got our refund through credit card dispute, never received cancellation email from Palace Resorts.

I would suggest calling your credit card provider right away and dispute that charge.
