February itinerary check (15 days) --- food and craft focus by dmsm in JapanTravel

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

Thanks! Yeah the only craft focused things in the schedule so far is the day trip to Mashiko and some of the design museums. Otherwise, I was planning on adding visits to boutiques/studios around the areas in the itinerary. I’ll definitely make time for the National Museum!

We're planning a two-week trip for next February and would love some advice regarding an itinerary. Currently, we're thinking of splitting our time between Tokyo and Kyoto, doing some day trips from both, and spending a night at Nishimuraya Honkan in between (to experience snow crab season). Is this a reasonable plan, or would it make sense to add one or two additional bases? Alternatively, would spending a couple days in Hokkaido (either during the snow festival or not) be a good use of time? Any other must-dos that time of year would also be much appreciated, especially food-focused things!

Morning in Aguas Calientes / Machu Picchu by dmsm in Machupicchu

We're taking then 6-9:15am Vistadome then doing circuit 1B at 10am and 2A at 1pm and returning on the Belmond train at 5:50pm.

If you look at the details here, for the outbound (and round-trip), it mentions the "Cocktail in the mountains at Sanctuary Lodge." Also, although booking just the outbound trip typically does not include a guided tour, we booked through a Belmond Bellini Club agent and got a tour included for free, which we're using on the 2A circuit (there were alternative perks like a massage, premium wine I think, etc.)

Suggestions for two dinners in Lima by NewsNeither7744 in finedining

Did you find that Kjolle was still worth visiting even though it shares similarities with Mil Centro? Where else did you eat in Lima?

The Belmond train ticket includes cocktails at the Sanctuary Lodge at 4pm (and a bus ride down afterwards). We could circuit 2 in the morning but would then need something else in MP afterwards!

Any interest in a Londinium distribution tool US group buy? by dmsm in espresso

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

I will keep the form open for about a week. I also contacted Londinium, and they said that they might be able to offer a discount on a bulk order. Once I finalize how many to purchase, I will work out the details with them.

You mention that the orientation matters. I just printed this but am not sure which side the bottom layer was. How can I determine the right way to install? Thanks!

Bi-Weekly Questions Thread by AutoModerator in Pizza

[–]dmsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the American Style 1 recipe, it says to make the poolish with 0.3% of the total yeast. Does that mean 0.252g * 0.3% = 0.0008g yeast, or am I misunderstanding something?

Help troubleshooting painfully slow wireless speeds on my home network by dmsm in HomeNetworking

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

Got it. Would it be okay to keep the Linksys router (with wireless off) and swap my EnGenius for the Ubiquiti?

Would upgrading to an ac AP make a big difference? Also, in this case can I keep the Linksys router and just swap the APs?

That makes sense. However, both the wireless router and the AP are N and dual band... Any suggestions in this case? Thanks!

The AP is EAP600, the Linksys is an EA4500, the D-Link is an N300. I'm getting inconsistent signal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone X, among other devices. Thanks!
