My 4 siblings and I (and spouses) had a wonderful trip to the Finger Lakes area in July. We stayed in a VRBO house near Canandaigua Lake. There is lots to see and do all around, we had some small groups going different places each day. One of the best was local hikes near Naples and lunch at the...

The Sofitel London Heathrow is a lovely hotel and is connected to termial 5 (the international terminal). Plus the Heathrow Express is right there too. I like your original plan.

+++ positive on T-Mobile. We have used our TMO coverage in Africa, Mexico, Costa Rica, and multiple European countries absolutely trouble free and as advertised (zero extra fees for data, and minimal charges for voice calls that are not via wifi - we do most international voice with wifi...

I keep a hiking journal. Notes of specific trails taken (my favorite local mountain has dozens of trails that interconnect). I note the weather, trail conditions, distance, time, # of people/dogs encountered, any unusual animal sightings, interesting things to look at, ways to modify in the...

I filed a claim in mid May directly with British Airlines for an airline caused travel delay of a flight on April 30. Received word today that I will receive 1200 Euro compensation (600 pp). I'm very pleased with the response time to my claim. Hopefully the cash shows up promptly too!

I enjoy a lot of concerts at mostly small venues in the Seattle area. We saw the Temptations last night (still great!), and the Seattle Rock Orchestra performing Beatles music today. On tap for this summer are some outdoor concerts: John Fogerty, Steve Miller Band, Chicago. Maybe Chris Isaac if...

We were in Tanzania last August. We had T-Mobile cell service all throughout Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Zanzibar. Also, all of the camps we stayed at had good WiFi. No issues with comms at all.

We are just back from a fabulous 3 weeks in Italy. What a beautiful country. The art, the history, the food, the wine, the people, the scenery - nothing but fabulous! It was my first visit, and most certainly not my last. For those interested in crowds & current Covid restrictions. While we...

Agreed, my pharmacist said the Pfizer boosters are full dosage, whether 1st or 2nd boost. I received the 2nd booster as soon as I was eligible. Once Omicron reared its ugly head, I changed my thinking from: the vaccine will prevent me from getting Covid, to: I will probably get Covid anyway, and...

I believe the 2nd booster amped my immune system to fight off this covid infection. It had been 6 months since my first booster when I received my second. With my out-there travel, and underlying conditions, I'm doing all I can to minimize my risk. Works for me. I'll glady take a vaccine jab...

I am very grateful to be at the tail end of a very mild Covid infection. I had received my second booster (Pfizer) this past month and last week tested positive for Covid (first positive ever). I had been experiencing cold like symptoms and decided to use one of home tests, positive! Went and...

Another T-Mobile fan here. With my regular plan, my phone works all over the world (free data), and low cost minutes for phone calls. Can't beat it.

Last year in January, I injured a hip flexor (pain in groin area, mid thigh). Took about a month to diagnose correctly. Similar to your pain on uphill, but also very sharp stab of pain when standing up from a sitting position. I am an avid hiker and entered a course of PT. It did the trick and...

I recently read The Lincoln Highway. It's a terrific story with great characters. I highly recommend it.

Also, if time - pop into the Met Museum (goes with a quick visit to Central Park)
