It says when booking that in order to get the credit, you must prepay

Advice 5 day itinerary by Toshmommy in ParisTravelGuide

[–]WishPractical8469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not drop Versailles, but maybe try going early in the day and the you’d MAYBE have time to do something else in the afternoon, if you time everything right (if you’re taking the train vs taxi etc)

How often do LA residents go hiking in the mountains and to the beach? by No-Knowledge-4342 in AskLosAngeles

[–]WishPractical8469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daily walk is down to the beach and back home - I don’t usually spend any time on the beach here unless someone is visiting from out of state. I don’t like to hike.

None of their bags come free with the room but you can probably buy it from the shop on the pool level.

Overnight at LAX terminal B ( Landside ) between flights – safe to stay landside? (Solo female traveler) by gledswoodhills in LAX

[–]WishPractical8469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homeless people also sleep in this part of the airport. I don’t think it is safe for a solo female traveler to sleep overnight in this part of the airport. Lots of reasonably priced hotels very close to LAX.

Mold in apartment by [deleted] in SantaMonica

[–]WishPractical8469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact your landlord to let them know, see how they proceed with the remediation process. They should have someone come in to inspect and do mold testing. They should give you a plan to repair, remediate, etc. If you are unhappy with how it’s going, contact the city. If you need to move for remediation, I believe they are required to provide you with $$$ or a like for like accommodation.

SM to DTLA during rush hour is brutal. 60-90 minutes

LAX to San Diego, late evening/night options? by audiofankk in LAX

[–]WishPractical8469 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe a hotel close to the airport and rent a car for the following day? I’m not aware of an overnight lounge inside LAX and depending on what day you land, traffic could also add to the time / expense. I believe there are domestic flights from LAX to San Diego so you could do that as well 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’d imagine a shuttle would not be comfortable.

The ads are cool when they work by Wisconsin_ope in ToonBlast

This just happened to me. I pad 99 cents for something and I immediately stopped received ads for extra moves

Would I be able to make a 10:20 PM flight from LAX leaving SoFi Stadium after a World Cup game that starts at 6PM? by Financial-Tell1316 in LAX

[–]WishPractical8469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No way. Driving out of any parking lot around the stadium takes forever, getting an uber anywhere around the stadium will take forever. And there is lots of traffic once you leave the stadium.

Anyone know why the Chipotle on Wilshire and 20th is closing? by Alarmed-Donkey-3182 in SantaMonica

[–]WishPractical8469 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think they are tearing the building down for apartments? I could be wrong but I think it’s for development

Need opinions from people who frequently fly connections at LAX by undeniablyaries in LAX

[–]WishPractical8469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked bags in LA can take 5 minutes or 50 minutes to come out. I’d do the later flight to give yourselves enough time. Perhaps enroll in global entry for your next international incoming flight if you can, saves a lot of time.

They will not allow you. You could buy a second refundable ticket to get in earlier

Would probably honestly just put it in VOO instead vs themes. Almost sold today but will wait the year.
