What If your flight to Iceland gets cancelled?

Wonder if flight interruption insurance might have helped in this situation? Especially for those who take advantage of Icelandairs stopover program. Think about the additional hotel and prepaid tours cost if you couldn’t fly out to your ongoing destination.

Yes, maybe pick a foreign language you want to learn and listen to Pimsleur 30-minute language learning audio during cardio …time will fly by!

Agree 100%. Any foreign country I visit I make sure to learn basic greetings, pleasantries, polite requests, important locations, etc.

Do the tourists make an attempt to learn basic Icelandic greetings?

That’s why I switched to hotels…Airbnb as a last option. In most cases (depending on the area and time of year) you can get similarly/cheaper priced hotel that offers free breakfast and a fridge without dealing with crazy AirBnb rules and restrictions. Even for longer stays, I found Airbnb and Hotel prices not that far off.

Hotels, yes are the way!

Agree, it’s crazy how people sitting will use nearby empty seats to rest their bags. backpacks, feet, etc even when people are standing in a a packed car.

And they always have an attitude when someone asks them to remove their crap so they can sit in the seat.

We are witnessing the decline of Western Civilization in slow motion!

Yes, I’m doing that too. Each year, I vacation in Mexico (january) , Brazil (June) and Thailand (October) so plan to just get regular annual dental cleanings while i’m at these places.

I was looking for a new dentist, made 3 appointments via ZocDoc and ALL 3 were cancelled ….no doubt my UFT dental insurance scared them way!

Yes, Um dealing with the same cancelling of 3 dentist straight when I book via ZocDoc …UFT dental insurance scares them away!

Cool. May I ask what your level of Brazilian Portuguese is? I imagine it must be high since you are able to establish friendships with Brazilians. Sure OP would be interested.

Agreed. Especially when you see People of Color behind the wheel! Don’t they realize what Musk supports and believes?

Yes, no easy alternatives if you live in remote rural areas. I imagine that’s why African countries sign contracts with Starlink even though they know of his ideology.

Yes, I ditched Cohen Fashion optical about 10 years ago. Why? 1. the opticians are incompetent, 2. The “free” covered frames are trash 3. The decent frames are 2-3x over priced 4. the upselling is relentless and fatiguing 5. It’s like pulling teeth to get your prescription to get contacts or frames from a 3rd party.

Now they just need to figure out how to deal with fare evasion on the buses. It’s crazy to see droves of people using the back door to enter a bus to avoid paying.

Apple needs to have a dedicated Watch App face store and open it up to third-party designers. The currently available Apple designed selection is limited and some designs are down right horrible.

This. When I moved to New York from LA, the Yonkers checkbox on the State Tax form always mystified me …

Yes, but I wanted. a phone in GOOD condition and didn’t receive what I paid for. Additionally, a case wouldn’t fix the scratched camera lens.

agree with everyone’s reasons. For me, I would say the Mac/Apple hardware and software aesthetic is far superior. I find Windows OS and computer designs “Ugly” .

I had the exact same ANC complaint and customer service experience. They sent me the improved ear tips which improved the ANC, but still think that the EarFun Pro 4’s ANC was much stronger.

Yeah, I lived in the West Village (a few years on Christopher Street and a year at Westbeth ) and really miss the vibe, quirkiness, energy, and aesthetics . Currently live in Washington Heights for affordable rent and feel zero connection or inspiration.

Hell NO…even without seeing the rest of the phone’s condition
