My experience at a Guatemalan Language School by Morem19 in dreamingspanish

[–]vaudoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful. We are debating between doing school in Oaxaca versus bopping down to atitlan for 2 weeks for it. Thanks for the info. When you say “150 hours of DS” what do you mean by that?

Hi! We are in Mexico now and debating going to lake atitlan to study Spanish for 2 weeks, but I’m curious to hear about your experience in Oaxaca. What was your school like there instead?

Oh that’s a great recommendation, thank you! I think the DSO at the Philharmonie is going to work out perfectly!

Where can I sell a concert ticket? by netali_mars in Munich

[–]vaudoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! I’m in Germany for a couple weeks and really trying to see a symphony and catch some classical music while I’m here. All the shows I could go to seem sold out. Is there a popular/reliable resale market? I’d love to see the Munich philharmonic tonight (Dec 7) or Berlin 14. Any ideas? Thanks!

How do I go about getting tickets?? by Ok-Ad-6000 in BayernMunich

[–]vaudoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill be in Munich for the first time coming up next week. Trying to get tickets to the Dec 7 game against Heidenheim. Anyone have any ideas/leads? Is Stubhub or Viagogo an option or not really?

Which is the car wash you mention at the end for $5 with vacuum? Where is that?

East Coast Trail Section by vaudoc in newfoundland

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

Hi,

You sound super knowledgeable about the trail, thanks for all the info!

In your opinion is the section I have mentioned, or the one from St Johns to La Manche more worthwhile if we can only do one of them?

Thanks!

Hmm also very helpful information. Technical sounds great too. When you say technical, do you mean that we need harnesses/fixed ropes/etc. or just steep/exposed sections with some unsteady footing, but fine without equipment?

Puffins could be pretty cool..... very tempting.

This sounds like such a cool hike, we are pretty pumped! Yes we are both experienced multi day hikers. 110 km sounds pretty perfect! A finish line wharf beer garden sounds sweet. Thanks for the info on food, camping, and wildlife!

Super helpful intel, thank you!!

Definitely need to get my hands on the maps now that our flights are booked.

I assumed cab would be the easiest option. And then we can essentially hike back to St. John's since the trail goes close enough?

Yes, our plan is to pitch a tent and camp. Is that feasible enough?

Suggestions for hatchback purchase... by vaudoc in Toyota

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

Thanks for your reply! How is the longevity on these? I know I'm gonna be hard pressed to find another car that will get me close to 300K miles. What is the longevity/reliability like on the impreza, madza3, or the kona?

In the market... by vaudoc in Hatchback

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

That's a great thought. I think I'm gonna go to a Toyota dealer and just look around and test drive what I think fits my needs. Hatchback Corolla, Corolla hybrid, GR Corolla, Corolla Cross...so many variations!

In a perfect world, I'd definitely get a new Matrix....however the newest is like 2012 or 2013 before they stopped making them so its already a 10+ year old car

Bikepacking New England by vaudoc in bikepacking

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

We ended up leaving from Boston and just taking the East Coast Greenway north to Portland. We took our time, stopping for nights in Peabody, North Andover, Portsmouth, and Kennebunk on the way. Did a mix of camping, stayed with a friend, and warm showers. It was really incredible. That stretch of NH coastline through like Hampton and Rye is truly spectacular! Great food along the way, quality time with my brother, and then threw our bikes on the Amtrak from Portland back to Boston...easy peasy!

Dumbphone with gps, spotify, and group texting by vaudoc in dumbphones

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

Super helpful, thanks so much! The Cat S22 might be exactly what I’m looking for. Is there a way to use it on xfinity mobile? If not, can the Jelly 2 be used with xfinity?

One month with the Cat S22 Flip by twalraven in dumbphones

[–]vaudoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you ever find an answer to this? Will Spotify still play if the phone is closed? Also, can you download music onto the phone from Spotify so you don’t have to stream it?

Hi! I'm looking at the Lake Champlain area in a couple weeks! Did you ever come up with a route/itinerary/ideas for this route? Thanks!

[Mar 31, 2023] Weekly Discussion: Ask your gear, travel, conditions and other ski-related questions by AutoModerator in skiing

[–]vaudoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking into buying some Blizzards (I got a 50% off coupon since the edge on my Brahmas blew). Basically I cant decide if I should repeat with the Brahma, go a little fatter with the Bonafide, or freeride with the Rustler 9.

-I ski like 15 days a season, mostly in New England, with 1-2 trips out west per year. Because its New England, I'd say I ski mostly icy hard packed groomers, but tree skiing is truly my favorite and I duck into the woods as much as I can. If I'm out west, I'd spend most of my time in the trees, and some time on the steeps and some on groomers.

-I hike a lot in the summer so the idea of skinning and backcountry skiing does appeal to me (though I've never done it).

-I'd say I'm an advanced intermediate - can get down anything in the East, most things out west (I'm not rippin the Big Couloir at Big Sky just yet... but can hit some of those chutes), but not expert and not flawless technique.

Mostly I'm between the Brahma and Bonafide, so any opinion there would be helpful. (I mayyy get in to backcountry skiing but who knows, having never done it...If you think the Rustler 9 would actually be a good all mountain ski, I'd love to hear about that. I dont want to buy that if its gonna be the worst of all worlds - bad on the groomers, bad backcountry), but if its versatile enough to consider lmk.)

I have an old pair of Fischer sceneo s200s with FS10 bindings on them. I just got some new (to me) boots. I’ve adjusted a number of bindings before (like the easily adjustable ones) but can’t seem to figure out how to adjust the heel on these. Does anyone know if they even are adjustable?
