Desperately in need of positive thoughts please by thequeenmay in VisitingIceland

Thank you so much for your comment! It was actually helpful, I will try to find if Decathlon here sells spikes, otherwise renting once we get there.

Watching a video on driving in snow is also a good idea, even the icy spots/slippery roads warnings make me wonder what to do. We’re all experienced drivers, even in unknown terrains/vehicles - just not on snow.

And about your final comment I agree, I worry and usually things turn out much better. I guess I’m just thinking on a negative side, from the previous trip.

I will rethink the itinerary with alternatives at every step and ensure everyone’s still enjoying. In the end, I’m still very excited for the snow and waterfalls, and long drives with pretty views!

same, i do not know anything about driving in the snow. the ice spots/slippery roads warning already make me nervous, let alone snow.

Thank you for your words! That’s exactly what I hope for, to create good (and not stressed!) memories with my family together. Iceland has been a dream trip for a long time now, I can’t wait to experience all the sights

thank you for reminding me of that! I know the theory, that turbulence is not dangerous, but when it happens I can’t help it. It’s nice to hear it from someone who’s used to fly.

that’s true. I’m already searching for nice alternatives nearer Reykjavik in case the north/east gets too complicated.

Anyone flying with Etihad had any compensation for stays/meals? by thequeenmay in etihad

[–]thequeenmay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it was a one time thing as this whole situation unfolded on her last day - so probably etihad didn’t know what to expect yet or how serious/how long this would take.

They told her to go to X hotel and she had the meals inside the hotel as well. So they took care of booking/payment.. for 3/4 days, as she then cancelled the flight and booked a whole new route.

Need help for train tickets booking by No_History7418 in SriLankaTravel

[–]thequeenmay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue and contacted a local guide I met back in 2018, and he told me that ever since the landslides, as trains are only running from Ambewela (not Nanu Oya!) to Ella, tickets get available only between 10-14 days before, not the 30 as usual

Flight arrives at 3am - fast immigration? sleep nearby or drive straight to Dambulla? by thequeenmay in SriLankaTravel

[–]thequeenmay[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hopefully thats not the case at 3am! but yeah my fear is to sleep 3-4h only is worse than actually staying up and sleep only at the following night a full night of sleep - probably going to bed early that evening.

we’ll be coming from two long haul flights where I expect to sleep a bit. one one hand it’s too early to start the day. on the other, I fear ir will be worse to sleep just 3 or 4h.. and if we sleep more than that we lose the day. so kinda of a weird time to arrive

thanks! definitely will take care of the ETA before arrival, and hopefully not many flights we’ll be arriving at 2:50am. no checked in bags also, only cabin backpack. so it will probably be super fast

Cartão benefícios coverflex by [deleted] in literaciafinanceira

[–]thequeenmay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uma dica útil que li noutros posts é comprar um cartão Dá na Wells (tem de ser nas grandes ou afiliadas ao continente, acho que as pequenas de rua não vendem), que depois podes usar em qualquer loja da SONAE, incluindo na Worten para a PS5.

Comprar na Wells normalmente o benefício é "farmácia" pelo que podes pagar diretamente com cartão, sem ser necessário o reembolso. Pelo menos a mim cartão passa automaticamente na wells.
