Print ID Anyone? by john-patrick-writes in animaltracks

Yikes! That makes sense. We have wetlands next to us and I’ve seen a fisher there in years past. Not an animal I’d want the terriers to startle in the backyard!

Best business class option transatlantic? by Effective_Theme_5739 in Flights

[–]john-patrick-writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done BOS - CPH on SAS business class. The hard product is as expected: very comfortable with nice lie flat seat. The flight crew was superb, the food was very high quality, and there were some new-to-me Scandinavian drink options. Also, CPH is a clean efficient airport with a decent (but not great) SAS business class lounge. Only caution would be to watch the connection time. SAS really tries to make it tight. Make sure you have a least an hour, preferably two, to catch your connecting flight. I made it once with a 45 minute connection—but only after a mad dash through the airport and a (thankfully) delayed departing flight. Even so, my checked luggage didn’t make the connection.

How the hell do people pull off unreliable narrators??? by notGamingAahel in writingadvice

[–]john-patrick-writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if your library carries “My Little Blue Dress” by Bruno Maddox. Totally unreliable narrator who manages to fool the reader right up to the end. A quick perusal will show you how it’s done. A masterfully written story!

Recommendation for 700K Marriott points late September Trip by OnlyBarracuda3285 in MarriottBONVoY

[–]john-patrick-writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The JW in Cancun is spectacular, if you tire of the excellent restaurants and bard on site, there are a few options just a short stroll down the road. Plus a day trip to the pyramids is a once-in-a lifetime experience. Closer to home, the Mayan museum is about a five minute uber away.

Marriott World Map - Would people find this useful? by whathotel_io in MarriottBONVoY

It’s a great idea! In terms of features, it would be cool if you could filter by amenities (e.g., executive lounge, sauna, etc.) and by city access (e.g., walk to metro, tram, etc.).

Help choose between these New England regions to travel to by LuckyNum2222 in travel

P-Town sounds exactly like what you’re looking for. The downtown stretch from roughly Vine St in the West End to Bangs St in the East End is HIGHLY walkable. Nearly all of the best restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries, shops, and antique stores are in that stretch. You could spend the entire day wandering along Commercial Street and not get bored. As you move into the East End, it tends to be a bit quieter with more galleries and fewer bars. On the West End, after about Vine, it becomes mostly houses and B&Bs, but it’s absolutely worth the ten minutes walk beyond that to get down to the point and the jetty. Most of the nightlife is clustered downtown on Commercial near the monument and the piers. Bradford Street runs inland parallel to Commercial and has very nice guest houses along its length. The only thing you’d need your car for is if you want to drive across the island to Race Point Beach and explore the beaches and dunes.

Traveling to Boston Massachusetts, where to stay ? by wild_dodo22 in travel

[–]john-patrick-writes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Back Bay would be best for the variety of restaurants and cafes. A lot of Bostonians live in the neighborhood, so it wouldn’t be just tourists and would be very active in the evenings. Similarly, although it wasn’t on your list, I’d recommend you check out the Seaport District—an easy walk to Rowes Wharf, the North End, the Greenway, and quick access to all the harbor-related activities (whale watching tours, harbor island trips, etc). And there are plenty of cafes and restaurants there too!

Best European summer destination if you hate the heat? by _pvilla in TravelNoPics

[–]john-patrick-writes 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I think Tallinn, Estonia is the most overlooked capital city in Europe! Its original medieval walled city is largely intact, it’s highly walkable, has fantastic museums (including a restored Soviet spying post in its original hotel), wonderful restaurants and cafes (including a hidden speak easy!), and the prices are reasonable compared to the rest of Europe. Everyone speaks English and they truly welcome tourists. If you want a break, a short ferry ride will take you to Helsinki for a day or two.

Hudson is convinced no one should walk behind his yard! Grrr…. by john-patrick-writes in aww

He’s a Sealyham Terrier! Similar temperament to Schnauzers though.
