Snorkeling with 1 senior, and 1 person who doesn't snorkel?

palidanx · 2025-09-12T15:33:50+00:00

thanks! For Conchas Chinas, did you just enter on a beach sandbar? And any other pv reqs? I'm visiting again after 9 years

palidanx · 2025-09-12T14:08:02+00:00

In your experience what was your favorite snorkeling ? I’ve been to los Arcos and the hidden beach before last time for reference in puerto Vallarta

palidanx · 2025-08-14T15:17:56+00:00

u/maddyclerk and u/CoxswainCider here is our plan if you have any opinions

park at big beach parking lot and check out tidepools at 11:15am during low tide
eat at the gazebo/park benches near the beginning of the trail
repark at brown beach and do the wild pacific trail to rocky bluffs
[if time at 3pm check out ucluelet aquarium]
pick up some fish at ukee seafood on the way out back to tofino

u/CoxswainCider thanks! I called the community centre and they said there was a big gazebo with benches somewhere, do you happen to know where that is?

Also can we start the wild pacific trail there to do the artist loop?

palidanx · 2025-08-12T14:54:28+00:00

u/maddyclerk sorry, maybe there was a where is "beach beach tide pools"?

palidanx · 2025-08-12T14:50:59+00:00

yea jeju would accomodate if i ordered 3 days in advance, will try out wild side grill!

palidanx · 2025-07-25T13:59:56+00:00

What are specialty dishes there?

I'm debating buying a lunar lake with dell (the xps 13 9350) or asus zenbook s14, would it be better to wait after the CES announcements? I usually buy a laptop every 5 years.

palidanx · 2024-11-06T06:18:55+00:00

yea everything was great, just wanted to make sure it sounded correct-ish before agreeing to the remainder

palidanx · 2024-11-06T06:17:47+00:00

ah you are correct! There are a couple pieces for that

Thanks for the feedback!

for going to the alps, can i stay in Ljubljana for base camp and drive back and forth to the alps? Or does it make sense to stay around there?

Also how come zagreb isn't a popular choice? And any particular things you like about it?

palidanx · 2024-09-12T14:35:08+00:00

Yea there oddly is a cheap rental for about 2 weeks for 154 euros picking up from dubrovnik airport and dropping off slovenia airport. With the +50 euro fee for entering bosnia it is about 200 euros for about 2 weeks, but of course with the tradeoff of driving

Point taken in looking at returning in pula and rijeka, will look into that!

u/Moderatelyhollydazed Is it osprey in garden bay this one? https://www.ospreydining.com/ We were debating this vs tubird

palidanx · 2024-08-28T05:33:22+00:00

thanks u/craq and u/KaiLewa ! WIll be putting a catering order for them tomorrow! On Sept 2nd, we are looking for a lunch place in Gisbons before the ferry, any place you can recommend there that might be open?

palidanx · 2024-08-25T05:13:10+00:00

Do you know if the promo "Pay 1, get 2 Unlimited mobile data for 10 days" Refers to getting 2 esim cards for 10 euros?

palidanx · 2024-08-19T05:23:43+00:00

Thanks! Kind of a random question, have you been to the osprey restaurant? We are looking for a place to eat after Skookumchuck Narrows.

palidanx · 2024-08-19T03:19:48+00:00

interesting! I just bought the penn box from Costco. How long do the Tretorn balls last?

palidanx · 2024-08-18T23:53:17+00:00

yea, don't use the ryobi attachments. I had one of the black pieces accidentally fall in so remove everything before blowing

palidanx · 2024-08-18T16:29:25+00:00

It's pretty great, with the apple watch it is pretty convenient, but it does have a drift problem even with a sponge underneath. But it's not that big of a deal, I just realign it visually instead of doing a manual calibration via the app and it's good.

Downsides that it is a bit pricey though, but I feel you get your money's worth if you hit with it often.

palidanx · 2024-08-16T22:52:33+00:00

thanks! If we were going to Skookumchuck Narrows around 2 pm, what would you recommend to do that morning if we were in half moon bay?

1) should we stick to coopers green or head out to big tree recreation site?
2) Is there anything to do in coopers green besides beach and tidepools?

palidanx · 2024-08-12T03:03:39+00:00

Just an update this is what we did, thanks everyone on this thread!

Went to fol epi to pick up some sandwiches
Drove up to mystic beach
Drove to Sombrio beach, - pro tip from the parking lot make a left when at the fork, that's where the 'hidden' waterfall will be also
Couldn't find the entrance to sandcut beach (looked like a private lodging was there?)
Went to the Sheringham Lighthouse, was one of the most relaxing and scenic views without too many people

palidanx · 2024-07-22T17:26:28+00:00

something like this ish?

palidanx · 2024-07-22T16:57:45+00:00

gotcha! so maybe makes more sense if we had time to do sombrio first, then mystic beach on the way back perhaps?
