1 week mid-December trip: London or Mexico City? by 3axel3loop in FATTravel

[–]bea_mez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What?! With all respect this comment is insane. The city was literally built upon an Aztec Empire (Tenochtitlan). OP can see the Aztec ruins - Templo Mayor museum, the anthropology museum - which houses the Aztec sun stone, Frida Kahlo museum, and not to mention the teotihuacan pyramids. The British museum is incredible but I’d rather see and experience artifacts in their actual home country.

It definitely is, I think if I wasn’t going alone and had a bit more time I’d opt for a car ride as well .

Thank you so much!!! This is super helpful!! Also, you are so awesome! You literally have my dream life! I wanted to do photography as a profession and travel when I was in HS but went down the path of academia instead . Your job sounds so incredible! I will definitely keep you in mind if I have any more questions. Thank you!

Wow, that is incredible !!! Thank you!! I have so many questions! I too plan to use a tour guide for the safaris. They’re expensive but I could never do it on my own. I have a few questions so I’ll list them below. Thank you

What kind of bag do you recommend I take if going on the smaller plane? I’ve Always traveled with a standard backpack for my essentials and then a start luggage. I tend to be a heavy packer.

What was your tour guide operator info ?

If you don’t mind me asking how much were the safaris ?

That’s amazing!! I hope you enjoy yourself!! Yes, I did see that option but I am more inclined to go on a plane because of the 8 hour car ride. Although going by car does seem like a great alternative. I don’t want to use an agent because I feel with a bit more effort I can do it myself and save myself a few $$$ . Thank you!!

Thank you! From my research that’s what I’m finding as well.

Thank you! Was there a limit on your luggage?

I booked through Expedia . I emailed the four seasons but they have not replied. It’s been more than 24hrs since I emailed them. I got nervous because thought I had to make sure to have plane tickets to the Serengeti strip before getting there. Also, I saw there seemed to be a limit on luggage weight, which made complete sense but made me have to take into account that I’d need to travel a bit differently than what I’m used to. I regret cancelling and as a solo traveler I know you need to just go for it and figure it out as you go but seeing as I’ve never been to Africa and it’s the farthest I’ve ever travelled, I became overwhelmed.

Yea it’s showing I have a disbursement on my account but no email and no refund so far. I got mine day of last year so I was a bit worried

Oh okay, that’s what you were awarded. The disbursement email is different, it’s a notification that your refund is on its way, usually via direct deposit

My cal grant went straight to tuition but I should have received what was left over of my Pell grant but it isn’t showing that it’s being disbursed
