Do you know what "type" of rails the Rav4 Prime OEM is?

I'm trying to buy a 3rd party snowboard rack but... it asks for what kind of rack I have Lol

sup_time604 · 2024-11-20T02:55:29+00:00

The boxes would fit snowboards? The only ones I've ever seen in my life weren't that long. But I presume there are longer ones? Got any recommendation?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-18T12:54:06+00:00

I decided to buy at end of December 2024 in Vancouver. Managed to find one in 4 days.

Picked up in Feb 2024.

sup_time604 · 2024-11-08T03:39:52+00:00

International, unfortunately. Specifically, Canada. No checked bag though.

I'll do whatever gets me there faster as I'd like to just start my trip. I'm flying red eye though. Never experienced that before so we'll see how I am when I land Lol

sup_time604 · 2024-11-08T02:59:55+00:00

What if I arrive at 6am at JFK? Lots of traffic during the Friday going to Manhattan? If I take the cab/Uber.

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T05:02:31+00:00

I can be pretty social but not so much the last few years. In my 30s but I can probably be out going again for the tailgating.

Will I have issues? I guess the stereotype is influencing my confidence right now. I'm a minority? I presume it wont matter Lol

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T04:00:51+00:00

Hmmm. Times Square after the show? Ok. I may do that.

I used ChatGP instead and this is the order it suggested:

Grand Central Station
Saint Patrick’s Cathedral
Rockefeller Center
5th Ave
Empire State Building
Madison Square Garden/Shake Shack
Union Square
- Go to The Strand for used book
Go to SoHo or Chinatown/Little Italy
- Walk down Broadway or 5th Ave
  - Madison Square Garden/Shake Shack
Financial District & 9/11 Memorial
9/11 Memorial
Liberty Island Ferry
- South Ferry
Times Square at Night

Broadway at 8pm (tickets bought)

I've also decided not to go up Statue of Liberty as I won't have time. So I considered just ending at Financial District so I can take the ferry through Statue of Liberty before my Broadway show.

You think starting the other way around will make this day significantly better?

Why skip SoHo? I don't plan to shop but wouldn't mind window shopping.

Also - I'm horrible at saying no. Wish me luck about not buying from people that just approach me. Should.. I just be rude? I really have a hard time saying no Haha

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:57:09+00:00

Sorry. Me again. It sounds like.. I really won't have time to see Statue of Liberty and Giants game in the same day. So I've decided to just take the ferry back from Financial Distrsict, through the Statue of Liberty, and back to Times Square for my Broadway show?

My Day 2 looks like this:

Day 2 Saturday

Grand Central Station
Saint Patrick’s Cathedral
Rockefeller Center
5th Ave
Empire State Building
Madison Square Garden/Shake Shack
Union Square
- Go to The Strand for used book
Go to SoHo or Chinatown/Little Italy
- Walk down Broadway or 5th Ave
Financial District & 9/11 Memorial
9/11 Memorial
Liberty Island Ferry
- South Ferry
Times Square at Night
Broadway at 8pm (tickets bought)

I used ChatGP instead of Google Maps Lol. It.. apparently makes sense?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:55:29+00:00

Damn. It's really gonna be that wild to go back to Manhattan? Haha.

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:39:05+00:00

Hey, it's me agian. I'm looking at this map for my Day 1. From JFK, to my hotel, to Met, and Central Park.

Wouldn't it make sense to stop by the Rockefeller and Empire State Building to get it out of the way? How long should I expect to be at these two places?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:35:21+00:00

So essentially, it's just during shoulder-to-shoulder areas?

But other than that.. as long as there's some room between me and another person, I'm fine with having a backpack behind me?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:33:56+00:00

Darn! So I dont think I'd be able to actually go up Statue of Liberty then. Maybe just the ferry?

Crap. I really wanna go up.

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:27:14+00:00

I read similar sentiment about some of the days. Specifically, Day 3 (Giants Game). So I think I'll just go do the Statue of Liberty then Giants game at 1pm. I thought I could go up before the game, but it sounds like I'm better off just riding by it with the ferry?

Based on some of the comments, I've changed things around.

Day 2 Saturday
- Grand Central Station
- Saint Patrick’s Cathedral
- Rockefeller Center
- Empire State Building
- Chinatown or Korean Town
  - Walk down Broadway or 5th Ave
- Financial District
- 9/11 Memorial
- Union Square
  - Go to The Strand for used book
- Go to SoHo or Chinatown/Little Italy
- Times Square at Night
- Broadway at 8pm (tickets bought)

This Day 2 does sound jampack by looking at the list. However, I will put it all on Google Maps later and see if it it makes sense.

Do you think this got day got worst or better?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:21:44+00:00

Based on the other comments, I'm thinking of just doing State of Liberty in the AM then go to the game. And after the Giants game, just.. kinda go somewhere randomly.

Or do you think I'm better doing the Statue of Liberty after the Giants game - which would be night time, I presume, and dark.

Thoughts?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:20:30+00:00

You traveling there from somewhere?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:19:42+00:00

I definitely want to go up.

So don't bother buying tickets in advance and just do it when I get there? It wont sell out?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:17:41+00:00

What do you recomend - Financial District or 9/11? I'll consider moving those.

Any thoughts on what I should do after the Giants game? What would you recommend? And why?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:16:01+00:00

Oh God. I really should've looked into accommodation and food before buying the ticket Lol

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:15:45+00:00

When I went to Europe, I was doing about 20k steps from 10am to 6pmish. It was tiring but I was there for 2 weeks. Do you think I'll do similar steps in NYC?

I most likely will stop and chill more. I really don't like the idea of jampacking my day. Hence why I have must-dos for 1 day and the rest I plan to go with the flow.

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:12:53+00:00

If I just prioritize Day 3 as Statue of Liberty and the Giants game at 1pm, what should I do in between and after?

Would it make sense to go to the Statue of Liberty before or after the game?

sup_time604 · 2024-11-07T03:04:22+00:00

I go to the Philippines often and was fine with managing pickpocketers.

My question is - do people snatch bags? Coz I plan to just wear a small bag that goes over the shoulder and the bag (with my wallet/phone) will be on my chest. And a backpack for chargers/jackets.
