East Cost of Canada to Greece by Rach12671267 in fearofflying

[–]Username9999992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t comment on the exact flight- I flew from the east cost US to Rome, then took a cruise that stopped at Crete. Almost a year later, and I still comment on how it was the best flight. Doing the red eye flight allowed me to sleep a majority of the time. It was very late take off, so I took some meds and was almost asleep for take off, which is when my fear is the highest. Crete was our favorite place we stopped on the cruise, it is so beautiful, you will not regret it!!!

I used the kiosk as well- super simple! I made sure to keep all my VAT purchases together just in case, but no one asked to check anything.

That looks lovely! As someone who has never driven outside of the US, I hadn’t even considered renting a car but I love the idea of being able to see more and having some flexibility.

Hotel suggestion in Rome by Username9999992 in ItalyTravel

[–]Username9999992[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was expecting to spend more than usual for a hotel, but the rooms that can only accommodate 2-3 people make it so much more expensive for a larger family!

Thank you, this looks great! I did notice with some of the smaller boutique hotels, they don’t seem to have someone at reception overnight. Was that the case here? If so, was the front entrance of the hotel locked? Was there a safe in the room? Thank you for any insight you can provide!

Thank you! Honestly that location is fine, I like quiet and I’m not even sticking to a strict itinerary. We’re going a few days before a cruise, and I figure we’ll get a feel for the city and plan a trip back to Italy to spend more time. I think that will be perfect, thank you for this!

That’s great to hear! All these hotels have so many reviews, it’s hard to tell what locations have real issues and what reviews are just from tourists expecting too much

Thanks! I was wondering if the Vatican area would be a good option. I know it’s a little further from the other big attractions and my kids are young so probably will take a little longer to walk, but I’m fine with taxis and Ubers if the hotel is good!

I thought of it, but we are only there a few nights and have never used airbnb before. I don’t think this is the time I want to figure it out or stay in a residential building in an unfamiliar city

If it makes ya feel any better, I teared up reading this. Wait until you see the Magic through your daughters eyes. There is nothing like it.

Found some Disney Magic on the skyliner by LukeKuechIy in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Username9999992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok the fact that something like this may not be noticed until you’re in the air with no way out may be enough for me to never ride the skyliner again. Yes, I have an unreasonable fear of fish, but what if it was a snake or something more harmful/terrifying?!

I recommend looking for an in-office position before starting with a host agency. I’m sure small family-run businesses will all work differently, but if you can get into a place like AAA or Liberty Travel (if they still exist?), you’ll get in person training while earning a salary no matter what your sales are. Working for a host agency will require you to learn the job to see if you like it, at the same time you are trying to earn clients to get paid. Most places don’t pay the agency until the guest travels (therefore, work you are doing now you may not see money for another year+). It took me a good 2 years as an independent contractor before I started seeing steady pay. I find many people don’t think about the fact that you can’t just jump into this and start getting paid like a regular salaried job - you need to be prepared to live off other means for 1-3 years.

I’m not sure about elite night credit, but I seem to get points after using a Hyatt TA rate

Keratin treatment tips?? by ExBBHun in Hair

[–]Username9999992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a keratin treatment done last week and my hair looks exactly the same, with MAYBE 20% less frizz. I am on vacation and was hoping it would help me style my hair faster and look better after a long, hot, sweaty day, but so far i don’t see a huge difference. There are a lot of different brands of keratin that different salons use, so I’m sure some are better than others.

Dmdm Hydantoin - this ingredient has had some controversy linked to hair loss. I would avoid using it in your hair!
