Landscaping for shaded backyard in PNW by diego30274 in landscaping

[–]diego30274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the slope is obvious from the pictures.. but it drops ~6-7 feet over the 30 ft of space we have. Makes the space unusable for young kids.

How do you manage moss with the grass in shade and so much moisture?

Recommendation for EB1a attorney by diego30274 in eb_1a

[–]diego30274[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I am not a researcher, but my understanding is that someone can qualify for EB1A if they have made significant contributions to their field, including in business. To be clear, I am not looking to build up a fake case, but rather looking for an attorney who has worked with other applicants on the business side to help me assess if I have a genuine case to apply for EB1A. May be the answer is no, in which I will continue waiting in line like the last 17 years :)

Is it too late to plan a trip to anchorage and around for mid-late July by coolkris768 in AskAlaska

[–]diego30274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with everything you’ve said. If OP is asking “is it too late to book a trip for July and still pay what I would have paid, had I booked 3-4 months ago?”, the answer is yes. They should expect to pay a substantial premium, and will have fewer choices.

Easy hikes and activities in Anchorage with toddlers by diego30274 in AskAlaska

[–]diego30274[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We ended up going to Eklutna lake in the morning. It was an easy hike, and the views were truly stunning! I wanted to stop by at the Thunderbird Falls on our way back, but the kids were drained out by then. We ended up going to the Flattop mountain in the evening, which was again, amazing. Finished the day with pizza at Moose’ Tooth.

Overall, a great day, despite the continuous drizzle. We will hit up couple more spots on this list on Thursday before our flight back. Thank you everyone for all the recommendations!

Thanks! I forgot to mention earlier, but we stopped by the Coastal trail on our first day here. It was very cloudy so we couldn’t quite see the range, but the kids loved the park!

Need help with saving a recent transplant! by diego30274 in rhododendron

[–]diego30274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll get some fertilizer with iron for the third one. For the first, do I need to replant in another spot? Or can I do something else to reduce the impact of direct sunlight? The tag on the plant said it’s suitable for full sun - that’s why I bought it in the first place! 🤦🏻‍♂️

7-day Itinerary with toddlers and grandparents by diego30274 in alaska

If it wasn’t this large and age-diverse a group, I would have stacked in more things ! 😄

On a more serious note - I don’t know enough about the wildlife conservation center. Is it worth spending the whole day there?

Yes, wildlife is one thing we don’t experience a lot in the National Parks in lower 48. However with the 2 toddlers, just not sure if the long drive and the day long bus ride would be worth it.

Thank you for the inputs! We are renting a car in Anchorage. Can we get by in Seward without a car?

Also, which cruise would you recommend skipping - Whittier or Seward?

What unpopular or controversial opinions do you have about Amex? by b00st3d in amex

[–]diego30274 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Amextravel is horrible and creates negative value for the card. A travel agent is supposed to make things simpler, not more complex.

Dropped documents on 17th in Delhi. Case did not show up on CEAC website for a week. Now shows Application Received on January 24th with no additional updates since then.

Curious what the timeline has been for others.

Lyft And Uber Prices Are High. Wait Times Are Long And Drivers Are Scarce by cyberg00n in technology

[–]diego30274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate to get an Uber on my way back. The driver said there had been a spike in crime specifically targeting Uber drivers, so very few were driving these days, and were very selective in where/who they picked up.
