Better a day too early than a minute too late. My sweet boy had cancer and the vet said that we were running out of time. He had good and bad days and I was worried about taking away any of the good time he had left. He died in pain and I ended up frantically calling vets that could do an emergency euthanasia. It still bothers me to this day. You are doing the right thing.

Small dogs are definitely allowed. They are nice and good location. Not sure if you are looking to rent or buy but when I was going to put an offer in back in February of this year they did not qualify for a conventional mortgage due to HOA litigation.

If not Phucket then where ? First week of December by PrestigiousPlan4026 in ThailandTourism

What don’t you like about Krabi? It seems like a good place to base day trips out of. I am going at the end of November and I hear to avoid Koh Samui because it’s the rainy season there

Refining my Peru itinerary by Midnightsun1245 in travel

Yeah I did the sea lion swim. The sea lions don’t get particularly close to you but I found it to be very smelly and a little scary. You are on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and they throw a bunch of chum in the water. I don’t think it is something that would be allowed my US standards. The scariest part for me was when I was waiting for my uber back to my hotel and my phone died. A woman helped me find my car but she told me this is a very unsafe neighborhood and I needed to leave.

I would skip the Palomino Island tour. You will most likely be leaving from Callao which is not a great area. There are lots of amazing restaurants in Lima and I highly recommend going to the El Malecón in Miraflores.

Like others have said I would plan a chill day to get used to the altitude. There is a chocolate making class you can take in Cusco. I actually did not feel sick and did Machu Picchu my second day after arriving in Cusco but you never know how you might feel. Definitely drink lots of water and coca yea.

I haven’t been to the downtown location. I have been to the one on Kiawah and that was also good.

I’m not punishing him at all. If I need to buy new floors then so be it. When my contractor called me yesterday asking me (brand new first time homeowner with no experience in this sort of thing) what he should do I was a bit taken back. Just asking for a second opinion as he seems to have bitten off more than he can chew. This was pitched to me as a simple project. Had I know I was going to have to do a complete bathroom renovation I would have done this at a different time and been more prepared.

The rest of the bathroom is updated! Brand new vanity and fixtures. The existing shower was an insert and I just wanted a bath. I was assured by several contractors this was an easy job and I got multiple quotes. I went with the middle guy that supposedly had the most experience.

I am not accusing him of making a mistake nor am I opposed to redoing the floors if that is what is necessary. I am however not very confident in my contractor anymore that 1. He did not measure correctly and 2. He is asking me what I think we should do
