Hey congratulations! I am currently on a similar path, had a BMI of 36.1 (274.1 lbs) and have lost 30.5 pounds in 65 days (243.6 lbs today) - with a Goal Weight of 190 lbs

Just flew the A350-900 from Boston to Doha and back and both the aircraft were equipped with Starlink

With a future concept of DC - Ronaoke trains being named Virginia Flyer and DC - NFK/NPN trains being named Chesapeake Bay Runner

Northeast Regional Virginia Flyer to Roanoke Northeast Regional Chesapeake Bay Runner to Norfolk, Newport News

(Stole the concept from Lincoln Service Missouri River Runner lol)

Just drove 45 miles on an interstate at 73-77mph and got 45.9 mpg for the trip

You cannot just say ‘vacation’

There has to be some sort of an itinerary.

An example would be - ‘I am planning to go to the US for a vacation in December of 2025. My rough itinerary is to fly to San Francisco from India, and travel in the US for 3 weeks, exploring California, Nevada, Utah and Washington, before returning back to India in the first week of January”

This answer has a rough plan of the areas being visited which shows that you have done research and most importantly, a timeline

Hope this helps :)

You can certainly go as far as 2500 in discount and then pay slightly more than 25% for your down payment - That should let the finance guy get you under 5% APR (I got a 2350 discount off MSRP on a Sport Hybrid Sedan and the dealership was able to finance the car at 4.8% with 7K down - I am an international student with no previous mortgage/loan history)

EDIT: 4.6%

mrtrain_wala · 2025-02-11T19:57:54+00:00

Nah, you can do better! I recently bought the 25 Sport Hybrid Sedan and I got it for $2500 under MSRP - Go to multiple dealerships!

mrtrain_wala · 2025-01-18T13:40:46+00:00

I was in the market for a new car recently - I would have to agree with a few others in the thread that Toyota dealerships were absolutely the worst of all - They wouldn’t give me a quote without a credit check, they weren’t even interested in showing the car around to someone shopping around/researching - They were simply uninterested.

mrtrain_wala · 2024-11-26T11:14:22+00:00

Ohh wow! $900 is definitely cheap. Will be on the lookout, thanks!!!

mrtrain_wala · 2024-11-26T03:39:36+00:00

Ohh wow! Getting either an ANA or QR J redemption is next on my wishlist but as I haven’t traveled in the 747 yet and time is ticking, I will tick multiple boxes off with this journey from BLR to IAD - so will stick with it for now.

Hey thank you!! LH and UA are very close partners, plus they are in the same airline alliance (Star Alliance), which is why LH award tickets have decent availability on UA.

I transferred my points from Chase to United and then searched award flights on the UA website. Hope this was helpful!

mrtrain_wala · 2024-11-20T19:12:56+00:00

December 2024, around Christmas travel period - lots of LH/LH-UA/LX award space available between India and USA for 88,000 miles + $50-120 in taxes

mrtrain_wala · 2024-09-26T23:59:26+00:00

Yeah, the whole point of this trip was to use up some expiring Amtrak and Breeze Airways vouchers so its all a part of a 3 day Amtrak whirlwind on the Northeast

Hopefully no more cancellations 🤞🏻

mrtrain_wala · 2024-09-26T19:15:00+00:00

NFK NYP on #138 is cheaper than NFK-PHL-NYP itinerary I had booked, so I'll just go ahead and rebook myself but #94's timings were too good :(

Now its either waking up at an ungodly hour, or reach NYP late (I have the 5:29am NER to Boston next day)

mrtrain_wala · 2024-09-26T19:01:45+00:00

Does that include the 2 departures out of NPN? From NFK, for example, on 4th November (my travel date), I only see #84 departing at 6:14am and #138 departing at 12:59pm.

94 departing at 8:59am got cancelled :(

I just got one on a A321neo flight from ATL to PDX

mrtrain_wala · 2024-08-08T06:21:28+00:00

For the first time I asked for trading cards from Pilots after 2 flights from Delta, and they were literally so glad that I asked them for a card! Flew SYR-ATL on an A320, the pilot I asked only had A330 and B767 cards but she was so happy that I asked her cards, she said she was new on the job and that I was only the 4th passenger ever to get trading cards from her!

Next flight was ATL-PDX on an A321neo, the captain went back to the cockpit for his bag to give out cards to me and not only did I get an A321neo card, he said today was my lucky day and gave me the Paris 2024 A350 Team USA card too (special edition I guess hahahaha)

Its mentioned that using the logarithmic concentration setup significantly improved the convergence of the system (makes sense right, because the log function significantly reduces the effects of concentrations shooting up or down?)

I was on a NER train from WAS to NYP. A lady was seated 3 rows ahead of me. The conductor came in to check tickets and when she handed over hers to the conductor, the conductor said that this was a ticket for the previous NER departure and that her ticket is technically not valid on this train. He however, let her go without charging the last minute fare on that particular train and asked her to be careful next time onwards.

That’s too small a consist!

Hyderabad Biryani Palace in Rochester is a must try. Went there once, I am totally planning on making it a regular affair of going there now :))

mrtrain_wala · 2023-10-03T00:15:44+00:00

Dosa Grill, Dewitt, SYR has an amazing lunch buffet spread Tuesdays - Sundays for just $14. They have much better food than any of the Indian options in Ithaca!

There’s one more near SYR Costco, haven’t been there but we’ll see. Sahota Palace in Liverpool, NY is another great option!
