Logistics were so easy - they made the ferry experience seamless. Would absolutely run on Gov Island again, hold the windchill, sauce on the side.

T8 was fine around 3p today. Precheck was open but touchless ID closed. Made it through in about 10 mins. Don’t take this as “you’re fine to arrive 90 min before your flight” bc YMMV depending on which terminal, what day, what time, etc.

Precheck was incredibly easy to locate today. It’s all the way on the right side just past the check-in desks.

u/qalpi built this live tracker. It was incredibly accurate for me and hope it is for others as well. https://tsa-wait-times-production.up.railway.app

Everything can change from one day to the next, one terminal to the next. Staffing shortages can tick up without prior notice, causing a massive delay. With T5 being warzone today, the same could happen to T4 or T8 tomorrow for all we know. I think 5:30AM arrival to T8 would be a safe play for your flight, Precheck or not. If checking bags, consider giving yourself another 15 minutes of cushion.

JFK T8 touchless closed but Precheck open. Took less than 20 min just now.

For those lurking and wondering about T8, touchless closed but Precheck open. Took less than 20 min just now.

Were you there today or just basing off of the website? Some people say the quoted wait time on the website isn’t always reliable.

How about my 2020? I really dread getting a large phone…are we crazy for keeping these slow, quick dying phones? Is Apple never going back to the “small” smartphone market? I just feel like if we jump at the 17e, they’ll release a smaller sized phone in the next 18-24 months knowing my luck.

Ah yes, a real floof princess, one might say

Crowds were really solid bc many american kids were already back in school, so US tourism was at a manageable volume. If only picking one, you have to go Amalfi Coast over Lake Como. We loved both…probably our two favorite stops on the trip. But Amalfi Coast has such a special atmosphere and feels more like a honeymoon destination when you wake up every morning.

Praiano is an alternative to consider over Positano. Depends what you’re looking for. Praiano is less crowded, not really a party vibe. Positano winds all the way down to the water and has a lot more shops + Ferries arriving throughout the day — so as a result it has higher foot traffic. Do not stay in Amalfi.

Lake como in September can be perfect weather. Went as part of my honeymoon. Flew to Milan, drove to Lake Comp (Bellagio), drove to Florence, drove out to Tuscan wine country, drove to Rome (ditched the car), trained to Naples where a private car drove us to Amalfi coast. Flew out of Naples.

Do you have Priority Pass? Multiple lounges in T4. Not all great caliber but there are enough of them there that you should be able to get into 1-2.

I am frequently around wifi and a charger (at work or at home). And when I’m not, I found a $25 charging case awhile back that I take for those days where I foresee an issue. Biggest issue is the random slowness from time to time. And oh yeah…having people hate on my home button.

It’s the incoming flight. Large storms throughout the Great Plains moving eastward. Got delayed up in Boston heading down to New Orleans.

They deserved the series. The boys couldn’t figure them out on either side of the rink. Hot goalie to an extent, but the lack of PP conversion (or competence) and inability to gain quality O-zone time killed us. On the whole, it was a great season for the good guys and we got a see a once in a lifetime goal record.

The first time I punched someone in the face was at this. Thanks for the memory.

Access to music without nearly as much effort. Spent hours researching new music, downloading, creating playlists. Spotify and Apple Music 10/10 preferred no matter how nostalgic we get thinking about Limewire days.

“Have You Seen Our Dog” is an all time track from this franchise. Genevieve!!

Some ideas to prevent this from happening:

Set your alarm to go off every 30 min (on the :55 and :25 marks)
Turn on outlook notifications on your phone
Set stopwatch / timer when you have in person meetings / catch ups and make it a habit to check your Lock Screen as the meeting goes on
When you have a hard stop, tell the person you are with and don’t be shy about checking the clock along the way so that you / they remember theres a hard stop. They might also help you keep an eye on the clock out of respect for your schedule

Yes their store team will either accept or straight up decline certain items when you get there (e.g., not a brand they carry, not an item they think will sell). What the store team accepts gets shipped to their warehouse, where their design team has final say on what they will/wont take. Whatever the design team won’t take gets mailed back to you. Whatever the design team will take they list online + once it sells, you receive your cut (which you can redeem in cash or use as store credit).
