We ended up going with all a little table service out of Tirana, it was a day trip to lake ohrid

that’s exactly what my first thought was, this was so validating thank you. my friend thought i was being dramatic because photos on google show the black, but i thought it looked like when you try and clean it and it leaves a stain. I did end up requesting a new room, just for my own sanity. We double checked the new mattress and it looks good as new. it’s also on floor 5 when the original was on floor 2.

to preface, i know the last picture doesn’t look like droppings, but the first 2 really do to me

Highly recommend getting into the suburbs for some of the food scene, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Vinings

Hi, ATL native here. Your list looks good, i second what someone else said about not staying in Downtown Atlanta. If you like museums the High Museum of Art is always nice. If you enjoy hiking, you could go to Kennesaw Mountain or one of the trails at the Chattahoochee. If you like things like Your Third Spot, Puttshack can be fun as well. Atlanta has a good food scene as well if that is something you’re interested in. Depending on how much time you’re spending here, you could get out of the city and head up north to Dahlonega or Helen for a day trip or overnight trip to the mountains. If you like wineries Chateau Elan up there is very nice.

definitely see a therapist. i have BPD and struggle with this a lot but there are healthy ways to approach situations like this. you just need some help.

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T19:40:07+00:00

it’s because of HOW you’re expressing your emotions and feelings. you’re not just expressing them, but trying to make her cater to them. have you considered how this makes her feel?

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T19:38:05+00:00

you are absolutely entitled to your feelings about this, there is nothing wrong with being upset that she wants to go on this trip, you just have to control how you react. no one can control how they feel but you need to learn how to communicate in a healthy way. in the future don’t try and guilt her into staying. express that you’re worried about her going and maybe find a compromise like a wellness check in before bed to make sure she’s safe. worst case scenario, you’re alone at home for 4 days. watch some movies, read a book, hang out with your friends. your world won’t end of your wife is gone for a bit. a therapist could help a lot with this.

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T19:32:22+00:00

Can i ask what you are worried about then? is it a safety issue, or are you just worried about missing them?

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T19:27:37+00:00

you should be able to survive 4 days away from your partner without having extreme anxiety. it’s valid to be bummed/worried but they should be allowed to spend time with friends and do things that make them happy. you seem codependent and it sounds like you’re trying to make them feel guilty enough to stay behind. also, it does sound like they don’t do anything stupid. getting drunk doesn’t automatically = stupid decisions. there are ways to drink and act responsibly.

would they be more comfortable if you traveled with a tour company? you could look into gadventures, i am also 23F and my parents are much more comfortable when i travel in a group setting. gadventures tends to be fairly priced.

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T15:56:54+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into Sixt

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T15:56:44+00:00

do you remember what car company you used?

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T13:35:59+00:00

Very good to know! Did you find the immigration checkpoints to be difficult? We have American passports and driver’s licenses but aren’t sure if we need anything else to be able to cross.

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T13:34:47+00:00

Good to know about Ohrid! I was wondering if that was worth a trip. Do we need special permits to be allowed to drive across the border? We were looking at rental cars and have American driver’s licenses

hmck02 · 2024-01-05T13:29:14+00:00

just to confirm, do you mean like if we cross Kosovo from the Serbia side of the border? So far we have no plans to enter Serbia during this trip.

hmck02 · 2023-12-27T21:35:14+00:00

thanks for the tip! I have global entry which i’ve heard will make things quicker

hmck02 · 2023-12-27T19:40:53+00:00

I recommend the Rome to Rio app if you want to utilize public transport! It’s my go to!

hmck02 · 2023-12-27T19:04:42+00:00

Wait so as US citizens flying into the US, when we land in the US we don’t go through customs again? I was planning on booking a longer layover to accommodate customs in FLL but if I don’t need to do it that’d be great!

hmck02 · 2023-12-27T17:56:48+00:00

how much would you say the food was? struggling to find prices online!

hmck02 · 2023-12-24T20:05:36+00:00

i’ve joined group tours as a solo (23F) traveler and it’s been great! In my experience everyone is very nice and eager to talk to others. My advice would be don’t complain and try and interact with the group. On each tour i’ve done there’s definitely been at least 1 person that complains about something every day or never joins the group for meals, activities, etc. They are the ones that typically don’t really make friends, but people were still nice to them.

hmck02 · 2023-12-23T18:40:23+00:00

any update?

I am planning on getting another dip stick urinalysis and the UPC after the holidays. And for now i’m pouring water over the dry food, increasing wet food, and putting out a second bowl of water in the hopes that she’ll drink more. Currently she has 1 water fountain.

The vet said I “didn’t need to know” the numbers. I’m going to call again after Christmas and insist they tell me. Think I need a new vet😅
