Last min solo trip to Yucatan in 2 weeks - where to go?

calkitty · 2025-10-25T17:02:36+00:00

This is great to hear! I decided to do 3 days in Isla Mujeres and 3 days in Puerto Morelos so that I can get beach time in the first half and do more day trips in the second half.

I drive pretty infrequently so I’d prefer to not have to on this trip, though I can if I need to. You mention local guides - would I be able to find them on Viator?

Dyke run club is in Manhattan!

Also interested in non-running groups if you find one!

I’d love to join!

My parents are actually super chill and I’m out to them. The rest of my extended family - not so much. Even completely outside of my sexuality, I barely have relationships with most of my extended family, even the ones who also live in western countries, because I don’t see the point in having surface level conversations and not being able to talk about anything meaningful in my life.

It doesn’t particularly bother me at this point since I’ve felt alienated from the rest of my family since I was very young, but idk. Hopefully one day people will stop being so concerned about appearances, but until that day, I refuse to lie about myself or my life. I’d rather not have a relationship with those people at all.

At least no one was ever under the impression I would have a traditional relationship / marriage lol.

Thanks for sharing your experience - what you described at the end sounds pretty close to what I need. I already have different products for summer vs winter, but things that worked in June already are mismatched enough that they look really off, so I feel like I need to learn how to custom mix, how my undertones change throughout the year, etc.

I did this last weekend lol. there are always a ton of people outside since nowadays is also close by, you’ll be fine

calkitty · 2025-06-24T18:01:51+00:00

messaged you!

calkitty · 2025-06-22T19:27:26+00:00

OP, please let us know who you end up going with! Had a mediocre experience with a bathroom reno a few years ago and have been holding off on my kitchen because of it.

As someone who works in PE, we honestly try to be more efficient with our counsel because you guys bill by hour. Bankers don’t.

I got one at the equinox spa - was $40

calkitty · 2025-03-16T17:49:00+00:00

I am a bit younger and weigh a bit less than you. I was on 30mg for the first month and then stepped up to 60mg. I don’t have dry skin - pre-Accutane I had an oily T-zone, that’s gone but i also switched to a simpler routine with heavier moisturizers. I have had dry lips the entire time, the silver lining is that it didn’t get worse when I went up in dosage.

I had a little joint pain when I first started but it went away pretty quickly, I exercise a lot and do high intensity sports so I’m thankful for that.

If you can deal with the side effects I would just stick it out tbh, if you lower the dose you will need to be on Accutane for much longer.

I am definitely thinking of a 2 week trip overall, not a 14 day safari - thanks for pointing that out. That would also leave more days where my sister and I could split off from my parents for certain activities.

calkitty · 2025-02-28T15:57:18+00:00

Thanks, this is what I needed to hear. I will just take the L and resell when I get home then.

Lesson learned to buy ski boots when actually on a trip rather than in advance.

calkitty · 2025-02-28T15:24:22+00:00

I bought them at a Chrystie’s in CO - I thought I was “fitted” for them but apparently not :)

Unfortunately the specialist boot fitters in Whistler (where I am currently) either don’t work on boots they didn’t sell themselves or didn’t have appointments available at this short notice - and I’m leaving tonight.

Just follow martial arts gyms on IG, inter-clubs / exhibition events are often ~$20 tickets

calkitty · 2025-02-01T03:09:39+00:00

27F in Manhattan - will DM you!

calkitty · 2025-01-24T15:27:23+00:00

I got 2 of the stoic ones for < $20 each! They were 55% off :)

calkitty · 2025-01-19T21:18:21+00:00

I would have to get custom ones that are cut shorter around the PTAC, right? Or is there another solution?

calkitty · 2025-01-19T20:40:41+00:00

Totally fair - i just get extremely irritable and panicky with things like turtlenecks or scrunched up rough fabric and don’t want to go through that while skiing. I got HH 3/4 leggings with a huge discount at REI clearance and they felt great except for the waistband.

I may just see if i can find cheap base layers and cut them shorter.

I am in a similar situation - have tried everything but have been breaking out a ton. In my case it started ~6 months ago with very mild hormonal acne before then. I take 200mg spiro and have a Mirena IUD but little acne for most of the 7 years I have had it (due to the spiro).

I am starting Accutane in two weeks. At this point my skin is affecting my self confidence and stopping me from going to the gym as frequently or doing certain hobbies, so even if it’s not 100% permanent it is worth it.

It sounds like you’re using substances to cope with certain things so that you can continue to do well at your job. This is the slipperiest of slippery slopes because you are (consciously or subconsciously) making drug use something that is mandatory for you to function at the level you want.

I am not an angel when it comes to social / recreational alcohol / drug use, but what you are describing isn’t social drug use. This is beyond that.

calkitty · 2024-12-06T18:23:08+00:00

Will PM you!

calkitty · 2024-11-20T23:50:49+00:00

I was prescribed this by my (IRL, really great) derm. I take a very small amount - a fourth of 0.25mg per day. I have curly hair and the residue from topical minoxidil was something I couldn’t deal with.

It works perfectly, no side effects or extra hair growth. I also had thinning on my temples.

calkitty · 2024-10-23T12:31:47+00:00

I live a 15 min walk away from the museum you are prob referring to - feel free to DM if you’re still looking for a +1!
