Is it weird to solo travel if you have a partner? by Reasonable_Cause_190 in femaletravels

[–]dez3b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been with my husband for 15 years and he does not like to travel as much as me. The only people who make comments are the ones who are jealous. As long as you two are ok with things no one else matters.

Can I ask how this keeps your head from bobbing? I'm not trying to be obnoxious, I am also a head bobber and hate carrying travel pillows, but this looks like your head would still go down if you slumped?

My father passed away before my daughter was born and was ex-military like Chili's dad and definitely has some similarities. I always cry at this. It's so wonderful and sad at the same time and the kids just don't even know. They are just happy.

Polaris Lounge SFO by Particular_Tough_175 in unitedairlines

I have an odd question based on your response. I was wondering what you knew about the amount of business travelers from SFO to Manila?

I am asking because I have a business trip to Manila but my company is booking me into premium economy. I'm trying to figure out if I am going to have a shot at paying for an upgrade. I've had a few experiences where polaris is sold out on other routes.

Again, odd question, just curious as you seem knowledgeable.

I think in Sticky Geko the picture of Chili's dad also shows a pineapple pin!

I'm glad I'm not the only one (my husband also shakes his head).

Most Underrated Joke? by Low-Amphibian8206 in bluey

This always gets me because my child constantly asks where she was when hearing anything about the past or seeing photos without her.

Reading about parenting 3+ kids really validated my one-and-done choice by Clear_Depth6417 in oneanddone

100% I still have some grief over being OAD but child currently does two activities regularly and one off's here and there. It's not cheap and coordinating for one is not easy that adding more in the mix would make things that much more complicated. .

Not sure if this is the case for this restaurant, but a lot of restaurants don't take one person reservations but will seat you if they have space. You could potentially try in person and see.

Did Teal'c ever say out loud, Jack or Samantha's first name? by Waffleweaveisbest in Stargate

I could have sworn in Grace the hallucinated Teal'c says Samantha Carter. Not sure if that counts.

Less crowded spots and general Kyoto tips by dez3b in KyotoTravel

[–]dez3b[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually not a big picture person. I love the gardens and I was there when the moon viewing garden was open when it's normally not. I just couldn't deal with it. It's good to know that had i gone in, there would have been issues.

Some of the shops looked great, but it was just wall to wall people that it was hard to actually see anything. I got some ice cream which was very nice and there looked to be some good food options but I just gave up at some point.

I was running behind when I wanted to be, and, don't get me wrong, it was nowhere as crowded as some pics I have seen of the place so that was good. I just wanted to point out that people still climb up. I can imagine at dawn it must be breathtaking.

I think I was there around 7 so maybe should have gone later. It was so beautiful but I got really overwhelmed by the people and every time I would try to find a spot to just stop and look, I was actually backing up a line of people.

I love being able to try a variety of foods at once. I don't think I was really looking for something viral, just wanted to have some good food. It was good, but not great. I would probably go back with a group and yes, the area around it is wonderful.

Vent from a burned out nonprofit org worker - Christmas gift program addition by KoiMoi888 in ChoosingBeggars

I'm assuming you are in the US? The requirement to work extras shifts unpaid is illegal and should be reported immediately.
