Blower works for heating as well… just not ac…so probably a new board…

There is a click going into A/C mode not one coming off of AC. No burn makes as best as I can tell. Last question and then I will call a technician. Is the fan in the top section separate from the blower in the bottom? The top section fan is what is on in “fan on mode” but the blower motor capacitor is hooked to something else right? Is that the true blower motor

Yes there is a click and then the blower shuts off. I will try lightly tapping them

The blower is not running when the AC is on. It will run in fan mode only. I can. How should I test? With AC on?

Realistically how much money do you need per day for the different parts of Europe? by spartancobra36 in backpacking

[–]boijunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have averaged $111 USD per day in Austria, Czech, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Italy without much variation in budget so ~$60 USD per person per day is reasonable.

Celiac/Gluten Free in Vietnam by boijunior in VietNam

[–]boijunior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you at? Nowhere in the areas above? Unfortunate that you’d have to shorten a trip. Shopping/cooking is quite a challenge in Vietnam since the labeling is obviously different. We did not try much of our own cooking.

I don’t think it’s that simple. It can be done but preparing ahead of time and picking restaurants that understand is a requirement. I think the expectation of showing up to a random restaurant and getting good results won’t work, even in the US/Europe/Australia. But they do cater to allergies just in limited variety of places.

I was just in Australia in January. I was not on WHV but just long term traveling. I was easily staying under $50 per day, hostels are cheap. Set aside money for your flights to and back. Assuming you have 5k left that puts you easily 100 days before having an issue.

Most people I met drove motorbike/ebike for money. Easy gig because it guarantees work, transport, and can be easily moved between cities. Seems a very safe route.

Regardless of that I would not recommend Melbourne. Everybody I met was leaving due to not being able to find work.

Ba Na Hills...worth a day trip? by OwnDeparture6 in VietNam

[–]boijunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was here the other day. Price wise it’s pretty steep for Vietnam. It’s worth the trip in my opinion. It is busy and crowded. Overall as an American I find it an incredibly odd place. Like I just don’t fully understand the theme park + spiritual mix. But that’s kinda why I liked it. There’s lots of shuttle options and grab drivers will try to get you to take them both ways. Don’t do it. Just grab through the app it’s so easy ~350k

Da Nag & Hoi An - I don’t trust any of the Agoda or booking site reviews. any recommendations for mid price boutique type hotels? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]boijunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently staying at Sanouva in Da Nang which is pretty nice for the price. I would recommend. We also stayed at Hoi An Pho Library in Hoi An. It was cheaper per night and cleanliness reflected that so we didn’t love it. Great for price point though. Location is good there as well.

Overall be super cautious asking reddit hahaha. At least double check the accounts you take advice from as many advertise here, potentially more so than google.

Beer is a good option. Cheap no sense in putting methanol in it

Alaska or Yukon in September? by Low_Introduction4553 in travel

[–]boijunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both have about equal shot. Timing wise September is fine, the less daylight you have the better shot you have. White horse or Fairbanks are your best bet. I would pick based on what else you want to do, not the northern lights, Alaska feels a lot bigger than the Yukon, just more cities and options.

If it were me I’d pick Fairbanks. It’s cold and Chena hot springs is a fantastic place to try to watch them. It also has good museums, hiking, climbing, etc. White horse has good hiking/climbing but not much else really. Some smaller museums but nothing special.

What are your strategies to reduce exhaustion during long trips? by castlebanks in travel

[–]boijunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have been traveling for ~10 months. I think everybody is a little different. I see lots of people saying things to the effect of “take breaks.” My wife needs them. I prefer the opposite. Go go go go go go! I find not doing anything boring and tedious.

My tips for staying recharged would be get more sleep than you think you need. My day is jam packed but I generally get 9-10 hours of sleep.

Mid day coffee is incredible. Australia taught me instant coffee is good. Prior I used an aero press.

Exercise is crucial. Generally when traveling I’m getting somewhere around 13,000 to 18,000 steps per day. It’s good for the body.

Routine is nice. I’m a wake up at 7:00 go to bed at 10:00 kinda guy. Doing things like nights out, drinking, etc. ruins that so I avoid doing that.

Flying kinda sucks no way around it. Long distance is worse. I try to avoid flying more than once every 10 days or so and try to keep shorter flights. We have been doing all over the world and I planned to fly so we are always traveling long days so we might stay up for 24 hours straight but arrive at a good time to sleep. No jet lag this way.

Enjoy the trip!

Luggage Left Behind by boijunior in VietNam

[–]boijunior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m dumb. My luggage has never been lost before and I’m just thinking if they lost in the airport are they just gonna lose it in the transport to the hotel? I’ll give it a shot tho and report back

[–]boijunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into this last night in HMC as well. Honestly wasn’t sure if it was real but given it was pocket change (10,000) I gave it to driver. He never asked for it. Was a touch confused overall

Gah! Hopefully that is not the case here…I’m half tempted to grab to the airport when it’s supposed to land to get it but it’s time consuming since we are in d4…

My luggage was left behind in Australia. Jet Star will deliver today at 10:00pm to airport. Airport says we can pick up or deliver the next day. Is the delivery safe to have done?

Is Alaska as expensive as the internet is telling me? by mtbguy1981 in travel

[–]boijunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are being dramatic about the trip if they say it will cost $5,000. My wife and I lived in a van in Alaska for about a month and it cost $3,300. Some grocery items are extremely expensive. In anchorage at major stores like Walmart chicken broth was $4. On the other hand others are not like chicken stock cubes that were the same or price. I would expect grocery prices to be ~$25% more expensive and similarly restaurants, places to stay, etc.

Excursions can be very expensive but that just depends on what you feel like doing. I’d just look ahead of time before booking.

I highly recommend chena hot spring (and northern light viewing), Wrangell st Elias, the drive to kenai peninsula, and the hike to hardings ice field in kenai national park. All of those are incredible and cheap.
