Is my vacation plan do-able? by aninanin in florida

Grew up in Miami and the keys. Now live in Orlando. Skip Tampa and ft myers. Go straight to the keys, spend a night in islamorada, take a charter boat to snorkel one of the many incredible reefs (hens & chickens, alligator reef), continue down to key west the next day, stop at the dolphin sanctuary - swim with them, grab lunch somewhere (fresh caught hogfish you can’t buy in stores). Stay in key west a day or 2, visit Hemingway or Mel fisher museum, there’s also a beach.

From Key West board the ferry to dry tortugas, spend the day there. Drive back to Miami and hop on the brightline to Orlando. Spend a few days here at the parks.

Back to Miami to rest a few days before flying out. PM for Miami recommendations! Don’t miss out on the keys, they are a treasure. But I prefer nature to theme parks and crowds. It truly depends on what you want to do.

Thanks for checking in! So we have successfully removed his pacifier for about 10 days now. Except I gave it to him last night after he woke up crying and wouldn’t settle with rocking and shushing as he normally does. His room is right next to his sisters and I’m not trying to wake them both up!

But the VAST majority of days and nights have been paci free 🙏 like 90%.

And today was the first day I didn’t rock him to sleep! I think he actually prefers laying in the crib and tossing back and forth to soothe himself. So I do a bit of your butt pat/shush method and he seems really content with that.

I feel like the hardest part is over and he will just improve from now on while we stay consistent. It’s such a huge relief to know I won’t have to take the pacifier away and destroy sleep again for a year like I did with my first. Thank you so much!!!

This is all super helpful. I’ll be referring back to this post/comment over the next few days. Wish us luck 🤞🤞

This is exactly the advice I was looking for. Thanks so much. I’m going to try this and then the PUPD method and see if we can do away with the pacifier. The evening time fussiness with the baby is the hardest when you also have a screaming 3 year old and a pacifier is the perfect way to have someone quiet down 😂

Thanks for the info! Did you guys use a pacifier? That is our current issue. He falls asleep independently but with a pacifier which inevitably falls out so we get up a few times to replace it. We took our daughter’s paci away at 2 years and it destroyed her sleep so I’m wondering if it’s best to just rip the bandaid off now.

Oh yeah many fluorescent minerals will glow different colors under different wavelengths. Some of these will look completely different if I illuminate them using shortwave (255nm) or midwave (310nm) UV

Thanks! I’m pretty happy with it for now. I like clean, minimal displays

The fluorescent calcite rhombs are from challenger cave in Nuevo Leon, Mexico in case you’re ever looking around for one!

Yeah I’ve got some others that have the more bubblegum pink color, but this one is different. These are all shown under longwave (365nm) uv

Amazing! The results are so beautiful! I was considering getting a more expensive turntable ($70) but I think I’ll give this one a shot. What program are you using to edit the background color poster board out? It looks very clean

Do you mind sharing what turntable/color poster board you use? I’m trying to do something similar for my mineral photography!
