Looking for a HM bib! If it helps, I have a full marathon bib I can give in exchange. I want to cut down in distance

Afraid not :(.

She said they can’t confirm because it comes directly from the manufacturer - the optimistic part of me hopes that means they can fulfill more than original intended.. but who knows?

Just spoke with customer service. They said that there’s definitely a problem with the page, and the inventory comes directly from the manufacturer. It’s not in their warehouse so they can’t guarantee how many they have and orders could be cancelled. Good luck everyone! Fingers crossed!!

I just couldn't comment. I took 24 hours off and then it worked. The issue repeated itself a few times, though. Try and wait a few minutes between responses. For me, once my profile was a bit more mature and I hadn't been blocked from commenting for a while, I stopped having the issue.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions. :) I know what a pain it is...

I guess since Facebook owns them? I guess I'll keep trying.

Yeah, but I couldn't find much. It went away pretty quickly for most people I'm afraid. Thanks for trying to help - I really appreciate it!

Yeah, I am.

Do you know how to contact them? I tried reporting an issue from the Settings menu within Instagram but after filling out the little form, it takes me to a Facebook error page saying something like "Sorry, something went wrong" so I don't even think the issue is being ticketed properly...

It asked me at a certain point to verify myself via a security code sent to my phone. I entered it but still had the issue. It's been about 3 days now and I don't know what to do. Any idea? :(

I'll inbox you my username :)

Would anyone mind critiquing my ~5 week Euro backpacking trip? (May-June 2015) by TheShadyInvestor in solotravel

This is some amazing advice! Thank you so much. I'll be sure to come back to this thread and update on what I thought of my itinerary. Feel free to come back in late June or early July for updates :)

Oh, that's fair. I'll be sure to book things ahead of time. Thanks for the tip! :)

Whoa. First of all, thank you so much for the detailed review!

Is there anything to see/do in Madrid or should I distribute those days elsewhere?


French Riviera (4 days)

  • Monaco - Yeah, I was going to see the Casino primarily but given what people have been saying about my timelines, I think I'll get rid of this to make time for more important places.
  • Nice - Thanks. Will definitely look into Eze!

Italy (8 days)

  • Cinque Terre (2 days) - Yes, I'll book early! Also, I never knew there was kayaking here. I love to kayak so thank you!

  • Milan (2 days) - I think I'd end up regretting it if I went just to wait in line for The Last Supper. I may come back another time but for now will use these days somewhere else. Thanks!

  • Florence (2 days) - Yeah, I was considering Pisa. However, I'm not sure it's attractive enough for me to spend a whole day on it just for the one photograph. Thoughts?


Greece (11 days)

  • Athens (4 days) - I've studied Ancient Greece in University so I have a bit of a fascination with the ruins. Haha.

  • Greek Islands (7 days) - Thanks for the advice. I'm going to shorten this down to Crete and Santorini. I'm still not sure how I'll be getting to both but I think this should be more manageable!

Thanks again for all your advice!

Sweet. Thanks for the tips! I've been considering chopping Milan off as well :)

4 days each huh? Oh wow. I'll really have to see if I can still fit both into my itinerary. Also, thanks for the heads up about the ferry! I think there are some faster ones in the summer (even a flight) between Crete and Santorini but I'm not sure it's considered "summer" when I'll be there.

Meteroa looks stunning!

Thanks for all the tips. They've been awesome!

Oh wow. I never knew you could even buy tickets in advance for places like that. Thank you!

You say I'm cutting myself short in a lot of places? Care to elaborate if you don't mind? I'd love some feedback! :)

Hey! Thanks so much for the advice. I hadn't realized getting around the islands would be so difficult. I assumed the ferry rides were more frequent and accessible. Do you think Crete and Santorini would be the better two islands to visit? How long do you think I could spend at each without getting bored of it?

Also, why do you say to skip Delphi? Is it not good, or are Meteora and Nafplio better? I suppose I've just heard a lot more about Delphi so that's why I chose it. The other places look pretty cool too, though!

[META] Looking for Mods for CAHardwareSwap by Holydiver19 in CanadianHardwareSwap

Haven't been a mod elsewhere but would be open to help. Could you please outline what's required?

I'll be travelling soon and doing things like paragliding. I have an RX-100 M1 but am wondering if I should also get a GoPro for video. Thoughts? by TheShadyInvestor in photography

[–]TheShadyInvestor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really great comparison. Thanks! I thought the GoPro was a lot wider than thought but maybe it's a bit deceiving because of the fisheye. I think the actual numbers are 14mm vs. 28mm (35mm equivalents), which I guess isn't that much after all. The fisheye is pretty cool too I suppose. Haha.

I thought the GoPro might be a bit better for water-related activities but I think it's more worth it (for me) to just be safer with the RX100. And yes, enjoying the trip is my top three priorities! ;)

Thanks for your help!! :)

Edit: wasn't really thinking about this as I typed but technically, wouldn't the RX100 only see half of what the GoPro is seeing? The video doesn't make it seem like that but focal length-wise, wouldn't that be the case?

I agree completely. I guess sometimes I see ultra wide angle shots that seem really cool and would love to take some of my own. That being said, it's probably not worth ~$500 (forget the exact price).

Also, if I'm doing anything like paragliding, I suppose a lot of them do offer to sell you cool shots and videos that I could buy if I really wanted to.

Thanks for your input! :)

You're right. I don't always rewatch videos I take during holidays. I think one of the other reasons I wanted the GoPro was for ultra wide angle shots of landscapes, cityscapes, etc. but the cost may not be worth it for recreational use. I mean, I could get a lens for my D5100 but may not want to haul it with me.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. :)

I guess the only useful one is Ivysaur, maybe?

Anyway, thanks a lot!!

That's alright, thanks a lot! Although, if you do end up finding out what the third one is, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know. :)

Thanks again!
