  1. In my city they banned plastic bags but if you forgot your cloth bag they will happily sell you a plastic bag for 10 cents. What am I missing? Forgot to add,there are plenty of free plastic bags in the produce section.🙄

  2. A friend just returned from a La To Hawaii cruise. Won 10k on a slot. PAid him in cash. Is this normal. He was very nervous because his picture with the the Captain was plastered all over the ship.

  3. Mark what they want you to mark. Once off the ship nobody cares and nobody will check. They do this to try and force you to buy over priced ship excursions. Was there last Dec. with Oceania and immigration only wanted the visa, they did not even look at them. Search this topic and you will see many responses. Don’t worry and have fun.

  4. Was on one once with 5 people, stopped at a floor and the people in front said no more room and wait for the next one. I stepped  up and told the entitled  couple they don’t belong on ships and held the open button so they could get on. As I got off the others in the elevators cheered. Later found out the entitled couple where in the room next to us.

  5. We had a similar situation, he came in without knocking and the sign was on the door. He told us things in the cabin class. where wrong on the website. Finally told him not to come in unless he see,s us leave. Left a bad review on the card and relayed this to our TA. 2 months later we find out our TA complained to the cruise line for us and they gave us $250 obc each. 

  6. With all respect, experimental airplanes are much less than boats. That’s how I retired at 50, fixing others boats and here in Ca. It is a year long season. Insurance on my airplane with a value of 60k is $600 year, hanger is $350 or $75 a month if I keep it outside.Hourly operating costs is 65hr based on 150 hrs a year.Since I built it I can do ALL maintenance and sign the log books vrs. Paying a mechanic $80-110 per hour.Building is not for everyone and if you have a fat wallet go certified. Lease backs and fractional work for some folks but just like a rental car I don’t worry who used it last and I don’t worry about scheduling my own airplane.

  7. There are many class’s that teach the basics Of building. 80% flying are first time builder’s . My Rv6 has 76 bolts holding the wings on, a Cessna has 8. A friend ferried new Cessna’s from the factory to different dealers, did a pre flight and the Controls were connected wrong. I also have a Winnebago motorhome. A friend lives in Boise and in the airplane it takes me 5 hrs total Including one fuel stop. The MH would be 2-3 days plus campground fee’s and 4 times the gas. SoCal to Boise was a total of 39 gallons.

  8. I have met the most hilarious people in the laundry. One lady was so nice and loved to talk I never made it back to the cabin during wash. She later saw me with my wife and asked if it was ok if we got married.Yes the timing is important.

  9. There are many EAA ( experimental aircraft association) chapters around the world. Many folks will give rides for the cost of fuel. I have given rides to people from Austria,Germany and Italy. Got a ride in Iceland from a member. Don,t let the word experimental scare you. I have a Vans Rv6 and there are over 10k flying worldwide.

  10. All new cars in Cuba are purchased by the Govt. The few new ones you see are politicians or owned by Embassy’s. We drove in a 49 Ford with a Mitsubishi diesel,a 60 Ford with a Mercedes diesel and a 57 Chevy with a Mercedes diesel. All ran great.
