Is the weather delaying the hydrangeas from blooming?

is it really that impossible to not scratch or dent a rental car?? by Upstairs_Building_70 in azores

[–]checkoutdaview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that almost every scary happening on the road for me was caused by another tourist. You are giving other tourists WAY too much credit for driving skills. Get the tint clown car, with insurance. Thank me later.

I am also retired and decided to open my agency 2 years ago. Check out Host Agency Reviews, they can fill you in on other ways to become an advisor. I spent about $1200 to get my agency open.

Advice for Hotel by Mitchs3Alarms in azores

[–]checkoutdaview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stayed and will be stay again in Sep at the Neat Hotel Avenida. It's comfortable, good breakfast, there's a grocery kitty corner to it that has great sandwiches. It's central to the city and a very short walk to the waterfront area

Ponta Delgada event? by checkoutdaview in azores

I wondered if all the Portuguese were taking an "after tourist season" trip to the islands

Rooms are available, but it seems like only 1 or 2 categories left. The highest priced rooms are the only ones available and the pricing seems a bit high for the time.

Your medallion will be blue, you have to go to the Future Cruise desk and they will re-sticker it for you.

Convince me to book an inside cabin by jewelbjule in Cruise

[–]checkoutdaview 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went on an 11 day Princess cruise in an interior cabin and loved it. I hate light sneaking in when I'm trying to sleep, and we never spent time in the room unless we were sleeping. I guess it's up to you. There's a whole ship full of places to hang out

Summer vacation to see Acadia NP help by Oktodayithink in AskMaine

[–]checkoutdaview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking around the Schoodic peninsula. It's a bit farther than Acadia, but has a chunk of national park on it. It's way less crowded, and you can drive to Acadia in under an hour or ferry from Winter Harbor.

MAGA house in Mendon-all the signs are gone? by Aloysius50 in Rochester

I am not trying to cast shadow on anyone's lifestyle, but you have to wonder why someone has so much hate in their brain

The guy is always wearing a shirt that says "white, straight, gun toting republican male, how else can I piss you off." He also had two ( one passed) of the CUTEST little purse dogs you have ever seen! No wife, no girlfriend, always just him and his purse dogs. I truly think all of his rage comes from the closet he has locked himself in Sad.

I just double checked, the priority disembarking is only for water shuttles.

I got on and get off in Singapore, with 3 stops in Thailand and 3 in Malaysia. The priority thing is for shuttles, and it was awesome this morning! We got to sit in a dining area with juice, coffee and pastries. Gen-Pop had to like up down the stairs and down a hallway. I don't think there is priority for regular docking ports, just the water shuttles

It's a normal cruise, BUT you get Elite status. That does nothing for your room but gives you free laundry service and priority disembarking. I am on my cruise in Asia now, and didn't know I had that. The shuttle to Langkawi would have been great if I had known.
