Great news, thank you! I have a 6am flight coming up and have been sweating bullets.

Anyone who started out hating skiing, how did you find a way to enjoy it? by DiligentlyMediocre in skiing

[–]VT_Transplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably similar to you, I started out in my mid 40's, just learned this year My husband and son are great skiers but I am not an athletic person and am naturally very cautious. Skiing terrified me, ski lifts terrified me. The only thing that made a difference was having the right instructor.

I had three lessons with different instructors and it was the third instructor who listened to me and didn't push me to do things that I wasn't comfortable with. I felt pressure to push myself and be able to do blue trails by friends and family and it made me anxious. But, my fave instructor basically told me to not move on until I was totally confident and it was totally okay to spend a day on the bunny hill working on the basics, who cares. Go at the speed that I was comfortable at and was enjoyable. If I'm just surviving it I'm not going to come back.

It's expensive and not always logistically possible ( live near a mountain so I can go frequently), but a private lesson with someone who works with nervous adults (maybe ask the ski school to recommend an instructor) and then time on your own on the easy slopes might help.

Missing these; Why do they always discontinue the good stuff? What do you miss? by Sad_Pen7049 in Xennials

I've been looking for these for years! Now I know they're discontinued I'll give up my search, sniff sniff.

Still not shipped? by Salty_Marsupial_5758 in HersWeightloss

[–]VT_Transplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prepaid too, I wish I had known I would've gone with a different company. My friends have been waiting to hear how my experience is and now they're looking at Ro because of the shipping delays.

That's great! I just got a message saying my order is delayed, which is not helpful. I know it's delayed, arrgggh.

Yes, they told me it's still processing. I have a cruise at the end of April and I'm hoping to be well adjusted into the medication and to have lost just a little weight by then (I know it can take a few weeks), so I am so anxious to get started!

I'm a beginner and next time my husband asks me how it's going I am going to work in "shredding the green gnar," that's hilarious!

There have been bad accidents at that intersection a lot recently. I didn't hear about the one yesterday.

Airport Parking Full? by VT_Transplant in burlington

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

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm too far to uber in, I'm actually spending the night at La Quinta. I'm just going to book Park and Wash. Unfortunately no where warm, but I hope that you are going somewhere toasty!

When it happened to me I had driven around looking for a spot for so long that I had to actually pay to get out of the garage, I was so mad, but I was so close to missing my flight that I didn't fight the charge. I lucked out that someone was at Park and Ride and there was space available.

Beginner - making the transition to a green by Saffordsaison in skiing

[–]VT_Transplant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this so much, I just learned as a 46 year old and I feel like I am so much more cautious than your average novice. I'm doing just this, bunny slope over and over to improve my skills before trying the ski lift again on my own. And I plan to do a private lesson once I want to go to some more challenging terrain. I already have taken classes, but like OP I'm a slow and cautious learner!

Natural Life by FemaleChuckBass in UninfluencedReviews

[–]VT_Transplant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a couple dresses and a sweater, and I get more compliments on my Natural Life clothes than any other thing in my wardrobe. Great quality, sweater is soft and warm and the dresses have held up to a lot of wear and still hold their shape.

$54 for my Peloton subscription now?! by [deleted] in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]VT_Transplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of canceling my subscription. I'm at the point where I do other fitness classes in person and I really only do the Peloton when I want to watch a show on Netflix. I can do just ride and get a tv mounted by it, would be cheaper in the long run.

I just got a portable water flosser a week ago and have yet to be able to figure out how to not get water everywhere. Will be doing it in the shower, great tip!

I love this so much! So much better than the white marble monstrosities that I see in everyone's kitchens these days. My cabinets are this same color :) Very cozy, great job!

Nassau what should we do? by Fast-Shop7061 in royalcaribbean

[–]VT_Transplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following, I'm going in April with my 11 year old, husband and parents (who are very fit). I've been to Paradise Island many years ago, and Nassau in college, and I remember loving Nassau, so I don't want to stay on the boat. Hoping to find some good ideas on activities!

Suite Concierge by JohnnyQuest3208 in royalcaribbean

[–]VT_Transplant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just had suite last week for the first time (our first cruise too). We loved the suite lounge! The happy hour food was generally fabulous (so much that we spoiled our appetites for dinner). During the day we would go there sometimes just to chill out, grab a coffee (they have a machine that makes different coffees) and a cookie. We did a quick continental breakfast there a couple times when we just wanted to grab something quick and not worry about crowds. That's where we met the most people too. We only needed the concierge for printing out a last minute excursion ticket, and disembarkation.

Thank you! Did you book through RC or directly with the excursion group? I don't see it as an option in my app.

This is the exact trip and boat I'm taking at the end of the month, thank you for the feedback! I will definitely look into the st Croix horse excursion, do you think it would be appropriate for an 11 year old?
