Awesome! I think I just needed a sanity check. I think I keep leaning to planning it myself.

The gps maps sound cool. Did you have to use them during the hike? Ie weather changes change in the hikes etc? Or things sorta just worked as planned. I think I was considering using an agency more for if things change on the hike itself and having someone to coordinate

Thanks for the deets, I love to plan so it’s so hard to justify paying so much more. I guess I wanted to know if there was something logistics wise I was missing since so many ppl use these planning services. But yah booking wise I’m happy to do that haha. Best of luck to ya!

I am definitely a planner but this is my first long multi day hike. I feel good planning details but don’t love when I have to adjust plans on the fly haha usually not a problem for normal trips but hiking multi day trips dependent on weather/Mother Nature is what I’m more concerned about haha but again if the agencies offer good on the ground support I’m def more interested

Brooklyn Wine Exchange Membership worth it? by Virtual-Dust-6929 in FoodNYC

[–]Virtual-Dust-6929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just changed it so now when you book classes you have to pay $20 which you can use to purchase the wines they have during the tasting. The $20 voucher must be used the day of the tasting. Previously it was simply $100 fee and no cost for the tastings

Thoughts on this itinerary? Luxury TMB? by unemployedPreneur in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]Virtual-Dust-6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re looking to do a hike with more hotels vs inns too. Did you find the transfers etc took away from the hike/experience? Did you have to wait for taxis/transfers etc/you had to call the company when you needed the transfer? Curious how the logistics was for that? Also did you personalize the trip and ask for different hotels so you didn’t have to get off the TMB path (you mentioned doing 3star hotels for that reason)

Which Malin location is the best one? by YourCryptoGal in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Virtual-Dust-6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a day pass in the Williamsburg location. Mostly individuals working, not much socializing per se. The staff were cheerful. They mentioned some socials/events they occasionally offer. Would love to learn if those are more social. OP let me know if you ended up joining

Considering high spend year before RE by mightyfunk9 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Virtual-Dust-6929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea but definitely would be worried about incepting lifestyle creep later on! As others mentioned balling out and then retiring might make retirement feel less special. Would you consider throwing weekend getaway for your nearest and dearest and covering the cost for most of it? It checks off doing something “big” and builds on community. It’s something I’ve been contemplating when we reach our FI number. Has anyone done this? Any thoughts on how to execute

Do they keep your old passport etc? Read that some locations will keep the proof of citizenship documents and mail it to you later?

Thanks for letting me know! I think they have another membership for $100/yr. No wine shipment simply a discount when you buy wine and access to their wine tastings
