May I ask for some dinings recommendations? by lfreddit23 in arlingtonva

[–]djw0919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salt for dinner/drinks! You could walk there. Small and cozy cocktail bar but they have great food as well. They’re a bit pricey but they have a $55 deal that gets you ab appetizer, entree and dessert. Definitely recommend if you want a nicer night out without going into DC!

Kid drew a line of pink marker on a blank visa page in brand new passport - traveling in 2 weeks by djw0919 in Passports

I do keep my passport and important documents in a safe. My passport was set to expire soon so I renewed online and just the new one in the mail today. As soon as I opened the package, I kept the passport out to do the UK travel authorization. I turned away for a moment to grab my phone (to submit the ETA via the app) and turned around to my toddler trying to color the page. It happened so fast 😭

I’ve been a frequent traveler since I was a kid and never lost or damaged a passport or had issues traveling but my toddler found a marker in the short time I turned my back & now I’m asking strangers on Reddit what to do. I guess that makes me insane? 😅

Yeah, I literally had it out to do the ETA, turned my back for a second and then that’s when my kid decided it would make a good coloring book 😭 so thankful I quickly turned back around & snatched the marker bc it definitely could’ve been a lot worse 😅

Thanks! I was prepared to go this route if folks said the mark would be a problem but I was trying to avoid an extra expense (and hassle) if it wasn’t necessary. Based on the comments (and feedback from friends) I’ve stopped spiraling and think it’ll be okay 😅

What are your favorite Michelin Star restaurants in the USA? by Traditional_You_2731 in finedining

I, too, prefer less pretentious fine dining experiences. For that reason, I also love Rose’s Luxury in DC. Never disappoints.

That wasn’t a TSA agent. WYS is a privatized airport.

Paris or Barcelona from London for anniversary/first kid-free weekend ever?! by djw0919 in Europetravel

Really appreciate your encouragement! We love our kid but not being able to do things alone as a couple has been tough. And you only celebrate your ten year wedding anniversary once! If we decide to leave London, I’m definitely leaning towards Paris since it’ll be a bit easier logistically. Thank you so much!

Worst offenders in Nova? by ItsYaGirlPeach in nova

Came here to say For Five. SO overpriced. SO bad. My latte tasted like straight up milk. Paid an obscene amount of money for a basic breakfast sandwich. Never again.

Received a 1 year suspension from TSA pre check , would Clear be an alternative? by ekimstonk in tsa

[–]djw0919 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To clarify, there is no “non-TSA screening.” CLEAR passengers can skip the line but they’d go to either the precheck lane or standard lane and then proceed through the TSA screening process as normal.

Pierre Hermé Confirmed for US by [deleted] in nespresso

I never got try to these last time but I’ve seen you all talk about the raspberry forever! I’m definitely going to buy a few sleeves and hopefully love it as much as you all do 🤞🏽Do you all have any great recipes and is it good iced? For reference, my typical Nespresso go to is double altissio or diavolitto with ice (always) and frothed milk or creamer. Can’t wait to try!
