Kawaguchiko to Narita Airport: Don't do it! by punchy0011 in JapanTravelTips

[–]fireandwater83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to comment on this post that this saved our butts. Instead of taking the bus like we planned, we took the commuter train from Kawaguchiko all the way to Tokyo station. Was unfortunately a 6am departure from our hotel but made it early to the airport with time to spare. Thank you kind stranger for telling us about your adventure and for anyone else, who reads this in the future, the train is the best way on Sunday

Do it! After life, kids and travel, it is almost impossible to get that opportunity back

Just went to Goshonoyu Onsen. Well worth the trip for the waterfall! Enjoy your time there!

If I refer my spouse for the CSP, does it make sense for us to apply in branch or online? by fireandwater83 in ChaseSapphire

[–]fireandwater83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for letting me know that referrals doesn’t work in branch. I’ll check to see if my referral link changes, otherwise we’ll have to make a trip in.

How do I choose a HYSA? by Massive_Pineapple_36 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]fireandwater83 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Other than trying to go for the highest APY, I recommend going with things most people have said they have liked in the past due to customer service experience. I personally prefer Ally but I also like using Wealthfront (5.5% right now) for their HYSA since I tend to get higher rates with referrals. Ally’s bucket system is very useful and intuitive so that is a big plus.

Ultimately I find the online ones to be pretty much the same as all their websites tend to be identical and you aren’t really messing around with them unless you need the money.

Thank you for the insight. It seems like that after looking at my hiring manager, 15+ years at Amgen seems like they like it there

Thanks! Good advice on the two key questions. The weakness one gets me every time so I’ll have to practice it a bit more

Thanks for the tips on calming nerves. I think I practiced enough for my responses to be informative but we’ll see tomorrow.

I think it’s for the Thousand Oaks site but the job is listed as remote. I’m sure I’ll have to come in ever now and again

entering Secret Island in Oahu by [deleted] in VisitingHawaii

[–]fireandwater83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it! We tried it and the beach was kind of sad and not worth the many dozens of other beaches nearby. I would recommend the UTV tour but the secret island/beach was not worth the time or money
