  1. I have found DISCOVER cards to be totally useless in Europe and lately, pretty useless in large parts of the northeastern U.S.
  2. Just to clarify: There are NO beaches in Miami (except on Key Biscayne). You really must go to Miami Beach for hotels on the beach or close to it
  3. Lots of taxis. And lots of touts offering to get you a taxi for $, when you can easily get your own for free.
  4. The supermarket is NOT at 9th Avenue & 43rd (though there is a bodega there) but closer to 10th Avenue. It's the Food Emprium. There is another supermarket (the Big Apple) at 9th Avenue and 41st.
  5. I did a private food tour in Nassau in January 2024 through Tru Bahamian ($79) and it was great.
  6. Go to the three dots in the upper right corner, report the post and ask the admin to move it to where you intended to post it.
  7. Is this the same sort of curry sauce we got on the currywursts we got from the Schnell-Imbiss when I lived in Germany?
  8. Preparation H is commonly used by professional makeup people to temporarily make under-eye bags reduce in size.
  9. It's for people who want to visit the Kennedy Space Center or one of the Orlando theme parks (yes, I think going to Orlando is a waste of time, too, but...).
  10. It is, unfortunately, possible to put explosives in both, and the metal in both will sometimes trigger scanners when you go through security.
  11. Look at TruBahamian food tours. I did one in January and it was quite worthwhile.
  12. Many hotels offer AAA or AARP discounts; you will just have to check,
  13. I recently (not on HAL) had a cabin with TWO connecting doors, for cabins on either side of me. One kept trying to open the door at all hours. It happened so often (without success, of course) that I figured the occupants were confusing the connecting door for the door to their bathroom. Other than that, no noise. Ah, but the other cabin...constant shouting, laughter, and general mayhem. No noise from either below or above.
  14. Leave later---a LOT later, like around 8 AM. What a way to start a vacation....
  15. Smart elevators are being installed all over, not just on cruise ships.
  16. The other option is trenitalia.com; there is an English option.
  17. Don't do this. You will be astonished at the size of your bill when you return from the cruise. Buy a wifi plan and put your phone in airplane mode when you are on the ship.
  18. I agree with Hank (Hiltner): I have been to Paris about 30 times, starting in 1971 when I was stationed in the army in Germany about 5 hours away by train; I have yet to see it all. Don't shortchange yourself.
  19. 2 & 3. I recently (January 6) sailed solo on the Meraviglia and for the right demographic it's a great cruise line. It just wasn't for me, and I will be returning to HAL.
