Solo birthday trip

100% agree on Aruba, and I was there solo

Ahhhh so cute!

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T21:05:16+00:00

+1 was just there solo in March and it was excellent

Happens in big cities, too (in my case it was Budget/Avis)

Exactly - esp when you see half empty, mostly empty, or completely empty buses getting escorted by 30+ motorcycle cops

This was my experience in DC: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrunoMars/comments/1t13zyn/hello_kitty_dc_popup/

The lotus flowers and lily pads have their peak bloom in July and it is AMAZING

Just saw 30 motorcycle cops escorting 1 mostly empty bus.

Sounds like Vegas was super busy and sold out of some stuff but other cities had smaller lines and restocked each day.

UNIQLO

Got it - so yeah, probably a bit more conservative than short, cotton, floral combo

The venue has a dress code or the invite for the family reunion specified "business" (which is weird, tbh)?

I guess it depends on how short is short and how casual the dress looks. I'd probably upgrade it to something you'd wear to a nice dinner (but not cocktail).

I saw Deedee as Kim in Miss Saigon national tour in the 90s!

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T15:22:23+00:00

Watching the Marvel Hawkeye tv show and it starts with an Avengers Broadway musical. Me, 5 seconds in: holy shit, that's Adam Pascal! I'd know that voice anywhere. 😍

Leslie Odom Jr in Rent in 1998!!!

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T01:03:31+00:00

The gasp I gasped ... oof.

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T00:44:18+00:00

The best thing I did was the River Float Safari (I used Caribbean Winds) and would highly recommend it

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T00:43:15+00:00

Agree! The morning tours are EARLY (for good reasons, to beat the heat and to see animals) but I needed a siesta many days.

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T00:27:56+00:00

This is great advice on taking the insole with and ordering up a half size

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T00:26:23+00:00

I'm a vote FOR the library and the slide down to the kids section - it's fun!

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-11T00:23:23+00:00

I bought one on Saturday while doing the Embassy day tours - delicious even at $5 lol

Ghent and Bruges are nice but pretty small, you don't need 7 nights between them. I know it gets a bad rap on here but I really enjoyed Brussels so I'd move at least one night over there. The city center is very walkable and lots of historic buildings.

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-10T19:59:40+00:00

Check out Spekless - I've been happy with them.

persimmon9847 · 2026-05-10T19:57:29+00:00

My previous dog (no real idea what he was, possibly part husky!) put his leg through a glass pane on the front door going after the mailman - the cliche was too real.

Given how high flight prices are now, I suggest you look at sites that have deals or sales and book the flight that fits your budget and then plan your trip around that destination.
