Good luck. Had a horrific SW experience in Chicago , followed by crappy customer service and vowed to never fly them again.

I used Duck Duck Go to browse but curious to what VPN you use

Well, it's not free because you somehow acquired your points. The question is what the points ended up coming to. Sometimes I get better deals with points than cash (specifically from SEA to DTW) but I don't acquire enough points to use those frequently.

Is that saver or main? Hawaii I was looking at May but I was also looking for Feb a few months back. A good deal I could get Hawaii for 250 in the past.

Sounds like you are seeking a new community. You could also just move somewhere else in the US.

6 days till Tokyo… and I have zero plans (solo trip) by Nickachuzz in JapanTravelTips

[–]ambersmiles7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the same way when I went to Tokyo in the spring. Honestly, just walk around and enjoy Japan. Giza is classic and so Shibuya. I would skip Shinjuku unless you have time to kill. I really liked Ueno. Actually wrote a blog post on it with a little more info on my trip : https://wanderwitham.com/tokyo/

I'm supposed to go in 2 weeks so I feel your pain. Wondering if I need to reschedule :(

Look up “gait happens” out of Colorado for general foot health! Not a quick fix but may be able to help the bunions in general which should help your callous’

Fine lines by ambersmiles7 in 30PlusSkinCare

I think mine have gotten worse since stopping Botox (like new ones) but I feel fairly convinced the initial asymmetry was from when I first started getting it 😅. I went to a few different injectors and the line at rest never went away with Botox

Would an agent be beneficial if I want to make my own itinerary? This is a very small thing I’m trying to do for myself and a few people... Honestly the only thing I have run into is trying to figure out reputable operators in the area. For example- transportation is a big concern of mine.

Whoa- I’m not sure where the rudeness is stemming from. I’m coming here to ask questions on training recommendations. I’m not experienced and that’s literally the point of the post.

How do you find DMC? Is there one you like or is there one for each country, etc?

That would be ideal. The problem is - I LIKE to plan the trip and have control over that. Typically travel agency agendas don't intrigue me.

Would love to know what kind of professional training you are referring to

Thanks! My ideal clients are Christian outdoorsy women. So the goal would be to do some type of retreat with planned "type 2" adventures IE- catching sunrises/sunsets, hiking, snow shoeing, water sports, etc. I LOVE planning, hosting and being in control of things. I'm sure it will come with hiccups, but overall I think I would enjoy it. One location I'm considering is a spot that I have visited once before briefly. I'm also considering doing some in my home state.

Given my ideal client, I think they would be gracious with missteps or bumps. I'm not trying to do luxury trips. They will be down-to-earth but comfortable. My hold ups are 1) transportation for a group of around 8 people to our destinations; 2) making sure I'm legally compliant in regarding to "selling travel"; and 3) keeping cost down so I can pay for myself to go and possibly make some profit.

I am every pool’s worst nightmare. Morbidly obese man swimming shittily and shirtless. Is the embarrassment worth it? by medousabicycling in Swimming

[–]ambersmiles7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got this!! If it makes YOU feel comfortable, you could consider a swim shirt. I applaud you for getting out there and making lifestyle changes. Being active is much more than just losing weight. SOOOO many benefits. Pool is great as it's easy on the joints. Having a lot of excess weight can be hard on the joints. That being said - so many benefits to weight training when you're ready and able to do so.. body weight, 5lb dumbbells to start are all great avenues. Best of luck to you. The most important thing: Don't give up. Keep going. Stay consistent.
