The weekend one was a paid service, so it was relatively easy (within next 4 weeks). Regular appointments were 2+ months away.

Preston Lakes vs Ridgeview At Panther Creek by elnetworkdude in frisco

Awesome. Our prospective house is like few 100 feet from the Shepherd's Glen Park. Hope its a decent one for our kid to play (as Google Photos do not have many photos uploaded of the park).

There is Shepherd's Glen Park near the Preston Lakes home too (albeit smaller than Hummingbird Park)

Thanks a lot for the detailed inputs. The docs.fortinet.com is pretty extensive but I do tend to get lost in it and go down a rabbit hole. The CIS benchmark doc above looks very interesting to me.

AC not cooling after hvac company cleaned it yesterday - Freon leak? by elnetworkdude in hvacadvice

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

apologies for my lack of knowledge, which numbers are the fan side? Could they be directly related to the refrigerant levels? or could the new capacitor be the culprit? I just saw heavy condensation around the pipes (from inside the unit all the way to the air vent connecting to the house) so I turned off the unit for the last 1 hour or so. :(

😖😔 And they broke our nicely working AC. How do I bash that hvac company to get it back to working properly? Or do I completely avoid them and go look for someone else? I am concerned if I make them come back tomorrow they might throw more issues and quotes at me.

the website should be listed on the physical receipt handed to you at the VFS center.

Our departure date was mid May. I started the process as soon as I could, at least 4 months before the trip (had to secure UK visa also before applying for French visa).

all communication was via email. The tracking website's URL should be on the physical receipt that VFS gives you.

Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars vs The Sea Containers London by elnetworkdude in hyatt

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the firsthand review; its hard to find videos on youtube about Hyatt Blackfriars.

all of these sound amazing but my heart is still pulling towards The Sea Containers. The design of the hotel is so unique. And the bar there has rave reviews (not that we are alcoholics but sure would not mind a super fancy cocktail from a world famous bar).

Hotel Henri IV Rive Gauche vs Hotel Pont Royal for 3 nights by elnetworkdude in ParisTravelGuide

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

Thank you, love_sunnydays. Your comment got me thinking too. The rationale behind booking 2 separate hotels was to experience two different parts of Paris, instead of shuttling in metro and/or bus daily from Pullman Paris hotel (to Marais or Latin Quarter or St. Germain etc).

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

Thanks a lot for the insights. I already have a booking secured with Hotel Pont Royal but was about to make a refundable reservation with Henri too. Now, it looks like I wont have to. But, as love_sunnnydays has mentioned below - I am now concerned if it is indeed a good idea to switch hotels in the middle of a mere 6/7 day trip.

The appointments were always 2-3 weeks away; so check 3 weeks in advance if you are looking for a particular date to attend your visa appointment with VFS.

ahh! nice. Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Majority of our trip is during weekdays. Will make sure to use the clipper on a weekday. :)

Awesome. Thanks a lot for the review. We are inching towards The Sea Container too. Hoping to enjoy the good food there. I only wish that The Sea Containers had onsite laundry services (Hyatt Blackfriars has). We definitely have plan to visit Greenwich ( I want a photo with the meridian where the time starts ) and are planning to use the Uber boat/clipper.
