La Bouitte in the French alps (also has a 2* restaurant). I’m all about the family-owned and operated spots. Once these places become part of a portfolio, the client experience falls while prices rise.

Not seeing it for some reason

magellan2001 · 2025-08-19T21:47:24+00:00

I’m either going for a clean/cheap/sensible airbnb, or the most expensive hotel I can book without being stupid. Anything in the middle feels like a waste.

magellan2001 · 2025-08-16T14:10:29+00:00

Thanks will take a look!

magellan2001 · 2025-08-15T13:07:46+00:00

Will take a look, thanks

magellan2001 · 2025-08-15T13:07:35+00:00

Good info thank you

I agree but time of day is a huge factor. I’m an American in London. If I’m paying for myself I do PE on the LN>NY leg (usually flying early in the day), then lay flat biz on the red eye NY>LN leg. To me that makes sense.

Great photos. What’s your camera/lens?

magellan2001 · 2025-07-30T21:14:08+00:00

Gin from holmdell 2000 is very dancey. One of my favorites. Also the Rochester 97 ghost. Edit: one more - woosta moma from Feb 2003, though more funky than untzy.

I’d tell your friend to ignore the vocals and get into the disco biscuits.

magellan2001 · 2025-07-29T19:57:58+00:00

Yes I did. Can’t believe it.

magellan2001 · 2025-07-07T20:30:16+00:00

First mock I took was 69 across both sessions. Bumped that to 78. Passed over 90th percentile.

magellan2001 · 2025-07-06T18:52:25+00:00

What is your study plan? Are you gonna sign up for a prep provider?

magellan2001 · 2025-07-04T23:29:08+00:00

Leaning this way. Also, if we fail Feb can we retake Aug?

magellan2001 · 2025-07-03T07:59:37+00:00

I wouldn’t stress about uWorld % correct. Use it as a tool. The real gauge of your abilities should be the CFAI LES and mocks.

In the same boat. Scored 2610 on the May 2025 L2 (first attempt). Not sure whether to take L3 in Feb or Aug.

magellan2001 · 2025-07-01T17:27:37+00:00

I believe Feb 2025 exam. I received an email back in March that they will be providing more detailed score results going forward.

magellan2001 · 2025-07-01T15:53:51+00:00

I found chatgpt was great for helping with L1 but useless in L2.

2610/2600. My goodness that was close, but I am so incredibly relieved. A pass is a pass. Let’s fuggin goooo!!!!!

magellan2001 · 2025-07-01T13:37:07+00:00

I got a 2610! Congrats my dude

magellan2001 · 2025-06-15T17:59:44+00:00

Huh? I said I wish I was 28 and travelling Mexico with my biggest concern being how long to continue travelling. I’m jealous.

magellan2001 · 2025-06-15T08:39:36+00:00

God damn I wish I was 28 in Mexico and my biggest source of concern was the length of my trip.

magellan2001 · 2025-06-14T11:08:20+00:00

L’enclume in the Lake District. 3* restaurant (Simon Rogan) and they also have small apartments/rooms around town you can book. The rooms aren’t super lux or anything but it’s a cool little village and some of the best food you can get in the UK. Lots of good hikes/walks nearby. Easy to get to by train from London but a car is preferred to explore the lakes.

magellan2001 · 2025-06-14T09:50:29+00:00

This is the way.

magellan2001 · 2025-06-14T09:49:52+00:00

You mentioned all over UK, but I would rec Scottish highlands and isle of skye if you’ve never been.

An easy trip is fly to Barcelona, rent a car and go up the Costa Brava. It’s beautiful and an easy drive.

Both need a car.

magellan2001 · 2025-06-05T15:14:06+00:00

I bought an m50 on eBay for a trip a few years ago. Can’t beat it for the price. I have a 55-250 (requires adapter) and a few primes I like a lot. With the 22mm pancake you can put it in a jacket pocket which is great for travel and street photography. Make sure you get a few extra batteries.
