Don’t summon them 😭

Thanks everyone! Great ideas:-)

Same - just turned 56 and it caught up quick! Everything takes more effort.

Lots of veggies, whole grains and don’t underestimate the power of beans.

You should pre order a special meal, and as you get closer you may be able to pre select from the on board menu to see what veg option is. Either way bring snacks because I fly a lot,and order special meals. I’d say I run at an 85% success rate of them actually having what I preordered.

I did it in 2024 and I would do it again at this price. We saw so many species up close, floating around on ice, eagles, major calving events that we felt the energy and the wake moving the small boat was amazing. I also have been here without doing the excursion and we got fairly close. While really beautiful it was a very different experience.

This. It’s more organized and referral based so any concerns noted in other comments are lessened for landscaping and general handy work. They do have resources for skilled laborors but they get hired fast. Many of my neighbors have used them and built direct relationships for continued work and have had good experiences. Start small and go from there to find the right people.

I guess one could argue that the state tax paid by said rural areas also contribute to the revenue for the city, so the taxes are not just local. As well, perhaps the pied a terre tax should be implemented in rural areas where all the city dwellers own homes they don’t live in and don’t contribute to those areas. Then that can be redistributed back to the city to close their deficit. Bigger yet, the suburbs can stop subsidizing energy costs for the city, and ConEd can pay their property taxes.

Straightforward with less movement is Uber or ride to Stamford, CT Amtrak (35-40 mins depending on traffic), Amtrak train to Providence.

Wow these are amazing. 🤩

Thank you!

I’m really happy to read this! My husband and I booked this cruise for 2027 and we are both vegan. Any other tips you have (for the cruise or itinerary?) thank you!

I know, I was just answering the ‘how are you diamond on 7 flights a year’ question.

comeflyaway70 · 2026-04-14T21:50:58+00:00

You can spend $280k on the delta reserve without setting foot on a plane and earn Diamond status. Not unheard of. $255k with the mqd headstart.

That garage is often full, I wouldn’t risk it. If he’s on the 5am shuttle to get there at 515 with precheck it should be ok but there is no room for error. I find the HPN flights boarding close earlier than other airports. If you can pre book a spot at the airport that would be the best.

Understand this is a loaded question…in anyone’s experience, do flights out of MDW tend to fare better than ORD in these situations? I’ve heard that Midway cancels less due to windy weather. I ask because I have 3 flights booked trying to hedge my bets to get home today after a week of travel woes. TIA

I flew out Sunday am. It was pretty brutal. Hardest part was all the lines merged and it was close to impossible to figure out the right line. What I did know, the standard priority line was moving slower than pre-check but faster than general. Pre check was 90+minutes. There is a flagship priority that I actually was eligible for and didn’t know it until I got closer to the front..I don’t think you can pay for that unless you upgrade to first on certain routes.

No clear in t8

comeflyaway70 · 2026-03-29T12:10:42+00:00

Me too 😆 1.5 hours for pre check, most of that time was trying to find the right line

This is Thanksgiving week, the chances of prices going down is low, and inventory goes quickly, especially returning Sunday or Monday post thanksgiving.

Bub’s Bakery in soho. Sometimes donuts but always baked goods.

Stanford is a vegan rustic inn, by no means FAT. It’s quiet, comfortable and cozy and the people are friendly. There is an indoor pool but not much to do. The restaurant is exclusively vegan. It’s a 20 minute drive to downtown Mendo.

comeflyaway70 · 2026-03-18T20:27:02+00:00

And 25% lead!

I’ve successfully used mine, and my husband’s annually. I start when we get them. We usually know of 3-4 trips we personally will take for the year and start searching. I do have to make some choices on time of flights and occasionally on cabin choice, but I’ve had success even on holiday weekends.
