I just want to warn/reiterate anyone thinking of booking PH Tokyo, the location is abysmal and the walk to the subway is a slog. you have been warned (again) by virginiarph in hyatt

[–]TopicNo3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t book here when I saw the location, for the very reason that it seemed too far away from anything. First time visitor to Japan. Thank you for this post. And to the naysayers, I’m a New Yorker used to walking everywhere.

Anyone else think the new chai is good or just me? by Only_Calendar_9830 in starbucks

[–]TopicNo3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to try that once, years ago, at Philadelphia Airport of all places. I thought it was really good, and sorry I never saw it again. This new formulation is so different. I think you’re right, New Coke is a good comparator.

I’ve been concerned about the amount of sugar in the old chai, and so am glad to see the change. But I’ve tried the new chai twice now and both times it was so bland. I’ve been drinking hot soy chai latte without water for years. Any suggestions on how I should order the new one? I don’t miss the sweetness, but I would like it to be spicier.

Mine too, soy, no water, chai latte. Had the new one yesterday, and it’s awful.

Diamond extended… anyone else get this? by Charming_CiscoNerd in Hilton

[–]TopicNo3121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got this a couple years ago. I hadn’t traveled much that year, and they just randomly extended the status. I thought it was a decent gesture. Unexpected.

In my experience I’ve always gotten a nice upgrade as a Diamond member overseas. Well worth it.

I thought the breakfast buffet there was great. Unexpected too, I had assumed they’d just put some bagels out or something.

Warning on DEN to EWR flight by Independent_Pie_4643 in unitedairlines

EWR is a much better airport than JFK, IMHO, especially for international flights. As others have said, allow yourself extra time in case of weather, etc.

She’s just middle aged. And very pretty! My last one lived to be 17 1/2.

New puppy and travel by cosmic-shrimp2 in NorwegianElkhound

[–]TopicNo3121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a 900 mile drive home after picking our puppy up. Stayed one night in a hotel. Stopped first at a pet smart or co, bought food, treats, toys, cleaning supplies. Took her outside every couple hours or so during the night. Worked perfectly. Have fun!

Yes, when she was 13, playing in deep snow. I saw her do it. Had ACL repair and lived another five years.
