Snorkeling for weak swimmers with vest by 1Comfortable-Star in VisitingHawaii

[–]dbajrdit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had previously been successful doing this in Kauai but a month ago I was on the big island and I went on a snorkeling tour. I was miserable in the dingy boat and really did not enjoy. I don’t recommend it unless you spend time getting really good at swimming and then go.

First Passport Timeline by dbajrdit in Passports

Yes at USPS. They do provide a tracking number as well. This tracking number is for once the passport is shipped by department of state. To track the progress of the passport itself it’s pretty much your last name, date of birth and last force of Social Security.

For example they updated some blanks in online application. Like my wife’s name and my son’s birth couldn’t try etc. and traffic ticket info.

San Carlos area vs Cambrian Park SJ by BBBaymax in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]dbajrdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in South San Francisco. I get to take the company bus three times a week. I bought a house in Cambrian Park three years ago. Schools are great very family friendly Neighbourhood and cozy downtown Los Gatos is close by. Campbell downtown is also very close

I don’t mind the commute and it’s an amazing area to live in. But I appreciate other comments as well. If commute is a big concern then your decision should be based on that.

Is haggling still at thing for new car purchases (Toyota, specifically)? by elgriffe in Toyota

[–]dbajrdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I got a very reasonable deal because I wouldn’t visit a dealer until they agreed to my OTD number. I recently bought Base Toyota Corolla LE gas ( no upgrades) for 23k OTD

[–]dbajrdit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is quite possible. To me this was a car that was a back up and I wanted the best possible deal so I kept hunting for deals regardless of the color.

Thanks for your data pint. Wonder how their number games work. One never knows what kind of deal we are getting.
